The Beatles gave their 127th lunchtime performance at Liverpool’s Cavern Club on this day.
The group’s lunchtime shows typically lasted from 12-2pm. This was their 220th known performance overall at the soon-to-be-famous cellar venue on Mathew Street in Liverpool’s city centre, including evening appearances.
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.

I wonder what this show was like? Routine?
I wonder how late John stayed out last night. Lol.
After a near tussle with The Remo Four last night, it is so obvious John just wanted to play, play, play!!
I too understand this after playing Beatles Rock Band 🙂
Some songs I would bet they played today:
Some Other Guy
Love Me Do
Kansas City (Hey Hey Hey Hey)
According to the book “Tune In The Beatles All These Years, Volume 1” by author Mark Lewisohn, it was on this date at the Cavern in which George Harrison received his black eye. The assailant was 19 year old Denny Flynn who hit George not for Pete Best but because he enjoyed it.
