YouTube Gold: The Beatles In The Cavern Club
December 1961: Singer, guitarist and songwriter John Lennon (1940 - 1980) of the British group The Beatles live on stage at the Cavern Club in Matthew Street, Liverpool.It’s hard to imagine it, but the Beatles time of great fame basically only went from 1962-1969.
That takes in an awful lot of music and events - the Ed Sullivan Show, Beatlemania, the Shea Stadium performance, the Jesus controversy, Sergeant Peppers, the White Album, the Maharishi, acid, heroin and, finally, the Rooftop Concert and Let it Be.
It’s incredible to think that their run - the celebrated part anyway - was only seven years.
