June 09, 1960
The Beatles played tonight, a Thursday night, back at The Institute in Neston on the Wirral penninsula. By this time, their out-of-place drummer Tommy Moore, must have been getting pretty tired of working all day and then doing a second shift at a jive show. Also, his girl friend's nagging may have been becoming more insistent. After all, he was not just a kid out for a lark, like the other Beatles, but a grown man, with responsibilities to meet.
It's been a little less than 50 years since the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show February 9th, 1964 and changed our lives forever. The Beatles started their professional careers with a trip to Hamburg, Germany in August of 1960. I'm going to post to this blog what the Beatles were doing 50 years ago to the day from just before that first tour until the historic Ed Sullivan appearance. "Follow by email" for ongoing updates. (Eternal thanks to Mark Lewisohn.)
