I think that one of the main reasons could be that by mid 60s there were many bands in the same tour and it was a matter of time sharing the stage ... and that didn't happen (or not so much) by late 60s/early 70s when tours with less bands were more than a common thing and a less risky busyNess to finance (seeing the gold mine that it seemed when the biggest groups played in stadiums, more rich people wanted to get more money too ... so more different tours were offered) ... then the bands could play more songs than only their hits and so ...
there was always 2 or more on a tour..........usually 5 or 6......
What a fantastic collection of posters, PC31. Thanks!

The first one's interesting. I never realised that they used Wembley Stadium for concerts back in 1964? Which begs the question - why the hell did The Beatles play stadiums in the US but not in the UK?
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
Funny thing is that I always read that Brian was a 'natural business talent'. Looking at the deals he made in the Beatles' history, it is quite the opposite.
He was a shopkeeper! Nice bloke, I'm sure, but some of his deals were awful (apart from the 25% he gave himself). But then he was learning as he went along. They were lucky they had him regardless of his inexperience, because anyone else would have severely ripped them off.

Mmm. I guess he was honest to The Beatles and that's a big plus. On the other hand he knew from the start he had gold in his hands, but didn't seem to be prepared on things to come. The merchandising deal with Seltaeb was a complete disaster. Brian was naive, but presented himself as a business man. I guess the real guys in the business must have had a big laugh on him every now and then.
Now this poster is really confusing the hell out of me. The Moody Blues headlining at Wembley Stadium, with The Kinks supporting. ON 15th May 1964. What's wrong with this picture?
The Moodies first single wasn't released until August '64 - Lose Your Money. Their first hit was Go Now in November '64.
The Kinks had a number one hit in August '64 with You Really Got Me.
And yet both these bands are playing Wembley Stadium in May '64? A venue that at that time would have held 90,000 people? And it's a Friday, not a Saturday.
So, two virtually unknown bands playing a venue that holds at least 90,000 on a friday afternoon! Either that poster's a fake, or there's something very fishy going on!

The concerts weren't held in the stadium. They were held in the adjacent wembley Sports Arena which is indoors (you can see this in footage as well). The only capacity figure I could find was 12,000. The Stadium wasn't used until '72.
