Video: 'The Beatles - Kowloon, Hong Kong; Princess Theatre [June 9, 1964]'

(Tuesday, June 9, 1964, two shows scheduled for 6:00 and 9:30 p.m. Hong Kong Standard Time, The Beatles performed after support act The Maori Hi-Five) — The Beatles performed two concerts today at the Princess Theatre at 130 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, in the Kowloon region of Hong Kong.

The support act was The Maori Hi-Five.

The venue held 1,700 seats, although neither concert was a sell-out.

Beatlemania had reached Hong Kong, but the promoter’s decision to charge HK $75 – the equivalent to an average week’s wage at the time – meant many of The Beatles’ fans were unable to see them perform.
