The Beatles live: Top Ten Club, Hamburg

This was the 92nd and final night of The Beatles’ lengthiest residency in Hamburg, at the Top Ten Club, which had begun on 1 April 1961.

The club was owned by Peter Eckhorn, who paid each of The Beatles 35DM (£3) per day. They were required to play from 7pm until 2am each weekday, and from 8pm until 4am on weekends, with a 15-minute break in each hour.

The performances at the Top Ten were so successful that Eckhorn twice extended The Beatles’ contract. They eventually left Germany following their final show at the club on this evening, having performed on stage for 503 hours during their stay.
