Friday 15 June 1962 | Live Performance | Cavern Club, Liverpool, England (evening session)
On 15 June 1962, The Beatles performed an evening session at the Cavern Club in Mathew Street, Liverpool β the second of two appearances at the venue on the same day, following a lunchtime session earlier that afternoon. Double-header days at the Cavern were common for The Beatles during this period, as demand for their performances outstripped the club's capacity.
By June 1962, The Beatles had been signed to EMI by producer George Martin and were preparing for their first recording session at Abbey Road, which took place on 6 June 1962. Their Cavern appearances were becoming increasingly frenzied, with fans packed into every corner of the low-ceilinged basement club.
The lineup on 15 June 1962 was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best on drums. Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best in August 1962.
