On this day The Beatles’ 86th evening show at the Cavern Club took place. They topped a bill which also included The Red River Jazzmen, and Dee Fenton and the Silhouettes.
Overall this was their 205th appearance at the underground Mathew Street venue, including their lunchtime shows. Afterwards they drove to Birkenhead for a late-night show at the Majestic Ballroom.
The precise number of The Beatles’ Cavern performances is not known, although they played at least 155 lunchtime and 125 evening shows between 9 February 1961 and 3 August 1963.
