Live: Cavern Club, Liverpool

12.00pm, Thursday 17 January 1963 (49 years ago)

The Beatles performed two shows on this day. The first was a lunchtime booking at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where they were guaranteed an enthusiastic reception from their loyal fanbase.

This was their 271st appearance at the Cavern, and their 152nd lunchtime show.

In the evening they travelled to Birkenhead to perform at the Majestic Ballroom.

      The footage of Some Other Guy (and Kansas City, plus some other shots of the crowd and band) constitutes the only known footage of The Beatles at the Cavern. It was done on 22 August 1962, but wasn't shown until the following year because the quality wasn't great.
