#CIRKUS KRONE FULL#
It is a journey of discovery which I am relishing, and I hope the site proves to be of interest for Munich residents and its numerous visitors.Īuthor of Lebanese Nuns Don't Ski, Lavender, Dormice and a Donkey Named Mercedes and Hvar's first comprehensive guidebook, Hvar: An Insider's Guide to Croatia's Premier Island, as well as co-author of Split: An Insider's Guide with Mila Hvilshoj, I have lived in Dalmatia full time since 2003. And what better way to try than to discover modern Munich in all its facets after so many years. Static tourism information, such as that provided by the excellent tourist board website yes, but accounts of daily life delivered daily? Hard to find.Īnd so I have decided to take a break from my idyllic island and see if I could live in a city again.
I was surprised to see that for such a magnificent multi-cultural city, English-language blogs and regularly updated information are not that available. Twelve years of island living have changed me for sure, but also left me curious about life in a big city, and whether or not I could adapt to it after such an insular decade. and Munich.Īfter 95 countries and some 25 years have passed, the memories of my year in the hotel industry in the Bavarian capital (fired by the Sheraton for losing our pet snake, the first male chambermaid at Hotel Arabella, and a truly eye-watering introduction to five-star living in my days as a bellboy in luxury Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten) are strong, and the call of Munich has been a constant theme over the last quarter century.Īnd so here I am, answering the call some 25 years later. Prior to discovering Paradise in 2002, I was a world traveller, living and working in Japan, Georgia, Somalia, Rwanda, Russia. This was reportedly the night that The Beatles settled on the title Revolver for their next album, which they had finished recording just three days before.After 12 years living on the most gorgeous island in the world, Hvar in Dalmatia, I have begun to wonder if there is still life beyond its shores. In spite of this, McCartney managed to get each verse wrong. George Harrison introduced ‘Yesterday’ as being from Beatles For Sale, and ‘I’m Down’ was briefly delayed by an on-stage conference between John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Harrison about lyrics in the opening verse.
The Beatles’ set throughout the tour consisted of 11 songs: ‘Rock And Roll Music’, ‘She’s A Woman’, ‘If I Needed Someone’, ‘Day Tripper’, ‘Baby’s In Black’, ‘I Feel Fine’, ‘Yesterday’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, ‘Nowhere Man’, ‘Paperback Writer’, and ‘I’m Down’.įor these first dates, the group’s recent absence from live performance was apparent. The German leg of the tour was known as the Bravo Blitztournee, and was sponsored by the entertainment magazine Bravo. The footage was shown as Die Beatles on channel two on Tuesday 5 July, from 8-8.45pm.Īlso appearing on the bill were Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers, The Rattles, and Peter and Gordon.
The second show was filmed by German television network Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF), and followed a brief afternoon rehearsal set for the cameras. The Beatles’ brief 1966 tour of West Germany, Japan and the Philippines began on this day, with two concerts at the Circus-Krone-Bau in Munich, Germany.
