This was the fifth occasion on which The Beatles performed both lunchtime and evening shows in the same day at Liverpool’s Cavern Club.
The group’s lunchtime shows typically lasted from 12-2pm. This was their 28th lunchtime show, and their 38th appearance overall at the underground venue on Mathew Street.
Although the precise number of their Cavern shows is not known, they played at least 155 lunchtime performances and 125 evening shows between 9 February 1961 and 3 August 1963.
