Beatles * [J] John * [P] Paul * [G] George * [R] Ringo * [O] Other
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1957
The Quarry Men perform at the ****rn Club, Mathew St., Liverpool.
Paul McCartney isn't with them, because he is away at Boy Scout
summer camp. The ****rn is a jazz club, but skiffle is tolerated.
However, when John Lennon dares to play "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede
Shoes", the club owner sends him a note saying "Cut out the bloody
rock!" The booking had been arranged by ex-Quarry Man Nigel
Whalley, who acted as the group's manager until he was forced to
resign at the end of the year when he contracted tuberculosis.

1961
The Beatles perform at Litherland Town Hall, Liverpool.

1962
The Beatles perform at the ****rn Club at lunchtime and then again
at night.

1963
The Beatles perform at the Springfield Ballroom, St. Saviour,
Jersey, Channel Islands.

[G] 1967
George and Pattie Harrison, visiting San Francisco, stroll through
Golden Gate Park in the Haight-Ashbury section, the focal point of
the "Summer of Love". George gives a short, unplanned street
performance using a borrowed guitar. George's reaction to the
hippie lifestyle?--"It's all too much!" He finds the hippie
culture to be wasteful and nạve.

1968
The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios,
London). Recording begins for George's song "Not Guilty". It
turned out to be a problematic song. Out of 46 takes for the
rhythm track, only 5 hold together to the end of the song. The
Beatles will end up devoting over 100 hours to rehearsing and
recording the song (a first), yet it will never be released as a
finished track.

1969
The Beatles in the recording studio (Studios Two and Three, EMI
Studios, London). Creating a stereo mix of "Come Together". Then
recording vocals and guitars onto "The End". The sparkling guitar
play is outstanding, with Paul, George, and John trading solos.

[J] 1980
John Lennon records unreleased takes of "I'm Stepping Out",
"Borrowed Time", and "Gone from This Place".

1989
US re-release of Beatles singles on 3-inch CDs: "Hello Goodbye/I Am
the Walrus", "The Ballad of John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe", "Get
Back/Don't Let Me Down", "All You Need is Love/Baby You're a Rich
Man", and "Something/Come Together" (all Capitol/Parlophone).

1989
UK re-release of Beatles singles on 3-inch CDs: "Get Back/Don't Let
Me Down" and "The Ballad of John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe" (which
was the first 3-inch CD Beatles single issued in stereo). Both
released by Parlophone.
