In one documentary, the Beatles are in their suite at the Waldorf Astoria (that's New York City) in 1964 or 1965, and John has a Honer Melodica (a kind of small, air-blown keyboard about 12-inches long), and he is working out the introductory chords to Strawberry Fields Forever.

Their known material was very different at the time, and this offers (me anyway) insight into how long it can take to develop a song -- it comes out worlds away in 1967.
In another example of writing on the road, much of the White Album was written when they were in India.
