 The following January, the Beatles carried out overdubs on live recordings taken from their 1965 US tour, for inclusion in the concert film "The Beatles at Shea Stadium".The group's manager, Brian Epstein, had intended that 1966 would then follow the pattern of the previous two years, in terms of the band making a feature film and an accompanying album, followed by concert tours during the summer months.After the Beatles vetoed the proposed film project, the time allocated for filming became a further three months free of professional engagements.
