Overall this was The Beatles’ 175th appearance at the underground Mathew Street venue, including their lunchtime shows. It was also the 28th occasion on which they performed both lunchtime and evening shows at the venue.
Although the precise number of the group’s Cavern performances is not known, they played at least 155 lunchtime and 125 evening shows between 9 February 1961 and 3 August 1963.
