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.)

Paul turns 18
The Beatles play the Grosvenor Ballroom on Paul's 18th birthday. It's fortunate indeed that this venue existed, without it the band would have been in imminent danger of disappearing into the mists of time. There is a wonderful article in the Beatles wiki about the place, which is still in operation, here.
