Having missed three concerts due to illness, John Lennon was well enough to rejoin The Beatles onstage for both sets at Bristol’s Colston Hall.
The Beatles performed a standard setlist of six songs throughout this tour, in which they appeared on a bill with Tommy Roe and Chris Montez. The songs were: ‘Love Me Do’, ‘Misery’, ‘A Taste Of Honey’, ‘Do You Want To Know A Secret’, ‘Please Please Me’ and ‘I Saw Her Standing There’.
This was the first of three occasions on which The Beatles performed at the Colston Hall. They subsequently visited the venue on 15 November 1963 and 10 November 1964.
