The UNBELIEVABLE story of The Beatles fleeing the country

One of the most influential forces in music history and the best-selling band of all time that launched the ‘Fab Four’ into global superstardom. The Beatles were ‘bigger than Jesus’, traveling the world to sell out shows to meet unprecedented demand. But their tours weren't without controversy. In 1966, at the height of 'Beatlemania', the population of the Philippines was so angered by their behavior that they wanted them out of the country immediately. After a huge diplomatic mistake, the band was put in real physical danger and had to race to the airport to escape.

Apology from the Philippines! At the time period The Bealtles went to the Philippines it was ruled by a dictator.

Still is.

You showed the wrong Ferdinand Marcos! That's Marcos Jr! The current President. The President at the time was Ferdinand Marcos Sr!

4:54 "Later the management team argued over who's blame it was.." Umm.. that's not English. Should be "who was to blame."

I am quite amazed that other foreign artists came to The Philippines after this incident. We had The Jacksons, The Commodores and many others.

Dude, you don't need to give us a whole history about the Beatles. They're quite well known.
