Battle of the bands with the Beatles - 18 People Show

[Phil Smith]

This is right after their German "Tour" and they're Liverpool's Number "1" Rock Outfit.

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Everyone starts somewhere!

 

[bassistjoe93]

It'd be cool to say you were one of the eighteen that showed up!

 

[SirMjac28]

This is too cool I wonder if they had any idea they would become the greatest group of all time?

 

[IPYF]

That's poor old Pete up there with them. World's most f*cked over man.

I always feel sorry for those old Beats. Poor beggers probably got to play a handful of 'good' gigs in their career, due to the squealing you know.

 

[bassbully]

Ah good to know even the Beatles had a gig that sucked.

 

[Bassmanbob]

I wasn't there, but I did go to a Marcus Miller concert at an outside theater in the middle of intermittent rain with my (then 10 and 6 year-old) daughters. There were no more than 50 people there. He said he appreciated us being there.

 

[Big Brother]

It'd be cool to say you were one of the eighteen that showed up!

This is one more piece of proof that backwards time travel will never be invented.

 

[dalkowski]

"Liverpool v London?" I'll take Everton, then.

 

[bearfoot]

"Weeks after this, Brian Epstein became their manager"
From beat jam band to pop superstars...

 

[stratovani]

They probably got their butts kicked. After all, they were up against the legendary Ivor Jay & The Jaywalkers!

 

[elgecko]

Very awesome!

 

[PDQbass]

To add insult to injury, it seems Ivor Jay and the Jaywalkers didn't turn up!

 

[MegaSwing]

Wow. So my band has actually drawn a crowd similar to the Beatles.

 

[Mike M.]

Wow! I remember reading about this a number of years ago, but still.

At that point in time and at that gig, who ever could have imagined that within a few years the world would be thiers and that they would change the world?

Un-friggin-real!! Thier story still amazes me.

 

[firststringer]

And to think that when they played this show, December 9, 1961, John Lennon had already lived more than half his life...
