This was the 13th performance given by The Beatles at Aintree Institute, which was situated at Longmoor Lane in Aintree, Liverpool.
It was put on by Brian Kelly for his Beekay Promotions. This was also George Harrison’s 18th birthday.

After this show The Beatles and Neil Aspinall drove to Lathom Hall in Seaforth, Liverpool for their second performance of the night.
