This was The Beatles’ 70th evening show at the Cavern Club, and saw them second on a two-act bill headlined by The Blue Genes.
Overall this was The Beatles’ 173rd appearance at the underground Mathew Street venue, including their lunchtime shows. It was also the 27th occasion on which they performed both lunchtime and evening shows at the venue.
The precise number of the group’s Cavern performances is not known, although they played at least 155 lunchtime and 125 evening shows between 9 February 1961 and 3 August 1963.
