A Trip Through Strawberry Fields

Season 1 Episode 103 | 23m 18s | CC

In 1966, after years of touring, the Beatles' music was getting increasingly complex, but it could not be performed live due to the limitations of the technology. And so, the group made the pivotal decision to stop touring. This could have spelled the end for the Beatles. Instead, they used this moment to embark on a new artistic direction, pushing the boundaries of songwriting and recording.
