Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: Perbedaan antara revisi

Pada 1966, The Beatles sudah bosan dengan pertunjukan live.{{sfn|Lewisohn|2010|p=210}} Menurut pendapat [[John Lennon]], mereka dapat "mengirim empat lilin ... dan itu akan memuaskan banyak orang. Konser Beatles tidak ada hubungannya dengan musik lagi. Itu hanyalah ritual suku antah berantah."{{sfn|The Beatles|2000|p=229}} Pada bulan Juni tahun itu, dua hari setelah menyelesaikan album [[Revolver (album)|Revolver]], grup ini telah menyiapkan tur untuk Konser di [[Jerman Barat]]{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=212}}. Sementara di [[Hamburg]], mereka menerima telegram anonim yang menyatakan: "Jangan pergi ke Tokyo. Hidupmu dalam bahaya."{{sfn|Martin|Pearson|1994|p=7}} Ancaman itu ditanggapi dengan serius mengingat kontroversi seputar tur di antara kelompok-kelompok agama dan konservatif Jepang, dengan penentangan khusus terhadap rencana penampilan The Beatles di arena suci [[Nippon Budokan]].{{sfn|Martin|Pearson|1994|p=7}} Sebagai tindakan pencegahan tambahan, 35.000 polisi dikerahkan dan ditugaskan untuk melindungi kelompok itu, yang diangkut dari hotel ke tempat-tempat konser dengan kendaraan lapis baja.<ref>{{harvnb|Lewisohn|2010|p=211}}; {{harvnb|Martin|Pearson|1994|p=7}}.</ref> The Beatles kemudian tampil di [[Filipina]], di mana mereka diancam dan dianiaya oleh warganya karena tidak mengunjungi Ibu Negara [[Imelda Marcos]]. Grup tersebut marah dengan manajer mereka, [[Brian Epstein]], karena bersikeras pada apa yang mereka anggap sebagai rencana perjalanan yang melelahkan dan melemahkan moral.{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|pp=212–213}}

 

 

Publikasi di AS dari pernyataan Lennon tentang The Beatles menjadi "[[Lebih populer ketimbang Yesus]]" kemudian melibatkan band dalam kontroversi dan protes di [[Sabuk Alkitab|Sabuk Alkitab Amerika]].{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=213}} Permintaan maaf publik meredakan ketegangan, tetapi tur di Amerika Serikat pada Agustus yang ditandai dengan berkurangnya penjualan tiket, relatif terhadap rekor kehadiran kelompok itu pada 1965, dan pertunjukan di bawah standar terbukti menjadi yang terakhir.<ref>{{harvnb|Lewisohn|2010|p=230: the Beatles' final commercial performance}}; {{harvnb|Turner|2016|pp=295, 299}}: reduced ticket sales, record attendances in 1965; {{harvnb|MacDonald|2005|p=213}}: subpar performances.</ref> Penulis Nicholas Schaffner menulis:

 

Sekembalinya The Beatles ke Inggris, rumor mulai beredar bahwa mereka memutuskan untuk bubar.{{sfn|Julien|2008b|p=1}} [[George Harrison]] memberitahu Epstein bahwa dia akan meninggalkan band, tetapi dia dibujuk untuk bertahan dengan jaminan bahwa tidak akan ada lagi tur.{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=213}} Grup ini mengambil istirahat selama tiga bulan, di mana mereka fokus pada kepentingan individu.{{sfn|Gould|2007|p=367}} Harrison melakukan perjalanan ke India selama enam minggu untuk mempelajari [[sitar]] di bawah instruksi [[Ravi Shankar]]{{sfn|Julien|2008b|p=2}} dan mengembangkan minatnya pada filsafat [[Hindu]].{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=71}} Menjadi yang terakhir dari The Beatles yang mengakui bahwa pertunjukan live mereka menjadi sia-sia,
