What did they do on June 3?

** The following events in Beatles history all took place on June 3. **

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

1961
The Beatles perform at the Top Ten Club, Reeperbahn, Hamburg, West
Germany. (1178)

1963
The Beatles, touring with Roy Orbison, perform at the Granada
Cinema in Woolwich, London. (1805)

1964
The Beatles in the studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). That
morning, during a photo session, Ringo Starr had become seriously
ill and had to be hospitalized. Since The Beatles were scheduled
to leave on a world tour the very next morning, it was too late to
cancel the tour. Brian Epstein and George Martin arranged for a
temporary drummer to take Ringo's place for the first part of the
tour, and the drummer selected was Jimmy Nicol, someone who they
knew to be talented but who was unknown enough not to be mistaken
as a permanent replacement for Ringo. On the spur of a last-minute
phone call from George Martin, Nicol rushed over to EMI Studios,
where he and The Beatles ran through six songs from their tour
repertoire in a quick rehearsal ("I Want to Hold Your Hand", "She
Loves You", "I Saw Her Standing There", "This Boy", "Can't Buy Me
Love", and "Long Tall Sally"). Just 27 hours later, drummer Jimmy
Nicol was performing live with The Beatles in Copenhagen, Denmark.
When Nicol left the studio to make preparations for the last-minute
departure, John, Paul, and George stayed behind to do some
recording. They each recorded demo versions of new songs. George
recorded "You'll Know What to Do" (the song was never otherwise
recorded), and Paul recorded a song he wanted to give to Cilla
Black, "It's For You". John taped a demo of "No Reply", for Tommy
Quickly, but Quickly's recording of it was never released; the song
would be recorded later by The Beatles and appear on the "Beatles
For Sale" LP. Late in the evening, John, Paul, and George worked
on overdubs for "Any Time At All" and "Things We Said Today". "The
Beatles Anthology 1" includes George's "You Know What to Do" (note
the difference in the title) and John's demo of "No Reply" (Disc 2,
Tracks 19-20). (2117)

1964
During a Beatles photo shoot with photographer John Launois, for
the US magazine "Saturday Evening Post", Ringo Starr collapses,
suffering from tonsillitis and pharyngitis. Ringo is hospitalized
and Brian Epstein and George Martin propose Jimmy Nicol as Ringo's
temporary replacement on The Beatles' imminent world tour. (2118)
