The Beatles perform at the ****rn Club, Liverpool, at lunchtime and

long, though, the tension disappears.

final three e***ions of "Pop Go the Beatles" (shows nos. 13-15).
Recorded at Aeolian Hall, London. For show #13 The Beatles perform
"Too Much Monkey Business", "Till There Was You", "Love Me Do",
"She Loves You", "I'll Get You", and "The Hippy Hippy Shake".
Also, "A Taste of Honey", recorded later in the day for show #14,
was inserted into show #13. The Beatles' guests for #13 were
Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Broadcast on September 10. For show
#14 The Beatles perform "Chains", "You Really Got a Hold On Me",
"Misery", "A Taste of Honey" (later inserted into program #13),
"Lucille", "From Me to You", and "Boys". Broadcast on September
17, with guests the Marauders. For show #15 The Beatles perform
"She Loves You", "Ask Me Why", "Devil In Her Heart", "I Saw Her
Standing There", "Sure to Fall (In Love With You)", and "Twist and
Shout". The Beatles' guests were Tony Rivers & the Castaways, the
core of the group that would later record for Apple, Grapefruit.
Broadcast on September 24. [Note: a recording from this day is
included on the 1994 Beatles double-CD "Live at the BBC"--from show

1964
The Beatles, on tour in the USA, perform two shows at the Indiana
State Fair Coliseum, Indianapolis, Indiana. Combined attendance
for both shows is 29,337.

1968
The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios,
London). Ringo rejoins the Beatles. When he arrives, Mal Evans
has decorated his drum kit with flowers. Ringo is back, but George
Martin is absent, having started a month-long holiday. Engineer
Ken Scott takes on the role of producer. EMI's 8-track recording
equipment is now installed in the studio, but only because The
Beatles had "liberated" it from a technical expert's office (an
action which nearly resulted in the firing of engineer Dave
Harries, who assisted in the matter). George Harrison works on a
backwards guitar solo. Work is done on "While My Guitar Gently
Weeps", although this day's results will be scrapped when the song
is re-recorded from scratch beginning on September 5.

[J] 1971
John and Yoko fly to New York, leaving the UK together for the last
time. John would never return.

1984
UK re-release of Beatles LP "The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl"
