In addition to giving him authority to negotiate on their behalf and planning tours, the majority of the contract deals with Brian controlling their stage shows. Basically, Brian micromanaged their shows, including their setlists. How much input the Beatles had is not known, but Brian had complete authority over every aspect of their shows.

Ooh I like that. There's always that silly debate about how Paul took over Johns Alpha-Beatle role in 67, when in fact there was no alpha beatle in the Epstein era. They signed themselves over lock stock and barrel, almost every decision outside songwriting being made for them. Add to that stories such as George Martin saying Epstein would come to him for the next single, and he (Martin) would decide which was the suitable release, and we see how little control the band had outside the studio during the Beatlemania years.
