The best concerts in the history of the Beatles

The Beatles performed live for the first time at the Hydra Club in Hamburg on August 17, 1960. The line-up is not yet the one that will make history: the band is made up of five members, with Stu Sutcliffe on bass and Paul McCartney on the guitar. On the drums there is Pete Best who will then be replaced by Ringo Starr, known during the German trip

August 18, 1962 is the day that marks the debut of the dream team made up of John, Paul, George and Ringo. The quartet performs at Port Sunlight’s Hulme Hall, a venue that could hold 450 people (although the chronicles say it was 500)

Between May and June 1963 the Beatles realize they are becoming a successful band. In fact, they leave for a British mini-tour with Roy Orbison. The author of Oh, Pretty Woman it should initially be the big name on the bill but it takes a few dates to understand that the Beatles can’t just be a support group. On May 26, 1963 they are in their Liverpool and close the concert with Twist and Shout

The Beatles have always had great success abroad and some of their biggest concerts have been held in Scandinavia. The one of 24 October 1963 at the Karlaplansstudion in Stockholm was broadcast live on the Swedish national radio and was an unforgettable event, during which the four also performed a cover of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

On February 11, 1964, the four from Liverpool discover America. The Washington Coliseum reacts better than the same guys on stage would expect to the Beatles verve and goes wild to the beat of I Saw Her Standing Here

In June of the same year the Beatles leave for their first world tour, which will also visit places like Hong Kong and Sydney. Shortly before the adventure begins, however, Ringo ends up in the hospital. Jimmy Niccol is present on the drums for the first dates, who is also present during the first historic date at KB Hallen in Copenhagen

Ringo returns to his seat for the June 17th concert in Melbourne. Paul is enthusiastic and says it plainly to an enthusiastic audience: “We are all happy to have with us again… Ringo!”. The drummer cannot sing due to the after-effects of tonsillitis but his contribution gives his companions new energy

In 1965 the Beatles made a European mini-tour that touches France, Spain and Italy. The dates in our country are historic. The four perform in two half-hour “tranches” and are accompanied by local pop glories such as Peppino Di Capri and a very young Fausto Leali. The Vigorelli Velodrome in Milan ignites when he hears Paul say a few words in an Italian soiled with a strong Liverpool accent

On August 19, 1965, two historic concerts are held at the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston, Texas. They will be considered the highest point of Beatlesmania, so much so that not even arriving in the city at two in the morning will save John Lennon and his companions from the bath of crowds.

On December 5, 1965, the Beatles returned home triumphantly. Their concert at the Liverpool Empire, with friends and family in the audience, represents an important moment for all four members. Paul even performs on drums during the performance of the Koobas shoulder group (of which the Fab Four will re-record the hit Dizzy Miss Lizzy)

Candlestick Park has never been an ordinary place for sports lovers. However, on August 29, 1966, “The Stick” did not go down in history due to a baseball game of the home team, the San Francisco Giants. To make that date unforgettable were in fact some Europeans who had probably never made a home run. The 25,000 present did not know it yet but that evening they would have attended the last Beatles concert in front of a paying audience. It was a great performance, one of the last of a band on the verge of breaking up

The Beatles’ last ever live performance will arrive almost three years later, on January 30, 1969. It will be a unique concert so iconic that it will even be mentioned later in the Simpsons. The Fab Four are in the studio and are unable to close Get Backclimb onto the roof and let off steam for the last time from there, from the top of Apple Corp. Get Back in the end they play it three times, they go on until the police arrive and that agent who makes them stop will eventually become famous too, even if some sense of guilt will perhaps have it forever
