Following popular television appearances and concerts during their February 1964 visit, the Beatles returned to the United States in August 1964, and again in August 1965, for tours. In August 1966 they returned once more, and although this tour was commercially successful, it coincided with a storm of U.S. public protest after publication of a quote from John Lennon 's remarks about Christianity. The 1966 U.S. tour marked the end of the Beatles ' concert days. The band ceased to perform commercial concerts, instead devoting their efforts to creating new material in the recording studio.
