de barge party wife and the austrian ski resort before lock down. and germans make great cars and washing machines so why can't they put together a decent outfit the latest in our series meet the germans. but 1st they were the bookers 4th choice that night at a club known more for strippers and prostitutes than for good music but that is how the beatles got their very 1st paid gig 60 years ago this week in hamburg west germany today of course they're one of the most famous bands in the world and despite the coronavirus hamburg for how many concert house put on a very special performance to celebrate their 60th. ringback ringback 'd buy me love like you've never heard it before jazz pianist you hear who's known as unusual

rearrangement of the beatles classic classic to 60 years of between celebration in hamburg. isn't jazz with jazz musicians so for us it's about into isolation and we want to be in our language so to speak so it has plenty of solo parts clearly. beatles music interpreted a new without the usual drums bass and guitar christopher down on vibraphone and folk around on trombone. as it was very exciting i spend hours really listening closely to the music and thinking how i could interpret it as if you were talking to your. normally hamburg spectacular funnel money with its 2000 seats would be booked out for an event like this junior coronavirus pandemic the concert hall has taken huge hits. trying to maintain contact with audiences. can stay on side

we invite artists and pay them to perform here without a live audience but we record and strain as it is over the summer we've set up a cinema here in front of the concert hall for 250 people where they can watch the performances so it's a lot of work and doesn't make us any money but we have to take every opportunity to let the music from the elder fill the money speak for the wonderful us of course . this week's beatles concert is a point of pride for handbag the band's 1st of a concert was here in hamburg's red light district on the 17th of all this 960 microphone to the intercom for 7 weeks john and george 3 boys from liverpool without gringos stop and met him shortly after at another club a few metres down the road they also picked up their iconic a stylus here to show how things really took off for the full mark heads when they

performed and recorded in the new neocon style club. today even the elders feel the money would be too small for a beatles performance. this tribute concert is testament to the band's ensuring legacy and to the concert halls reputation and even without any outbursts of beatlemania this balmy summer evening shows the fab four's music still resonates 16 years on. 60 years ago this week the beatles played their very 1st concert and my colleague michael kruger is here with me mike we know looking back that that that concert in hamburg was a milestone in music history did the band have any sense of that at the time certainly. not because they were so young so experienced they hadn't even written

their own songs yet mike and it was just a cover bad and not the best one so they played the whole night for hours because they haven't even read the contract before so. it was before they got famous and when someone thought there wasn't a bad way they could sleep they slept backstage it was a tough time but they learned a lot in the street. oh my gosh so much has changed and of course about point they were not yet the same fab 4 that became the global sensation the line it was a bit different a wrinkle stop at the drums wasn't even there yet pete best was at the drums the manager of the band later threw him out of the band because he wasn't good enough and there was a 5th member it was not the fight for they with 5. you had sat cleared was the one and he felt unloved and humble and they think so love to face one different times

different times those were different times no we saw images just a while ago of this beatles tribute concert and hamburg i want to talk a little bit about that because she you're in europe at least concerts back concert was outdoors but concerts are moving indoors a little bit but with a lot of safety regulations empty seats between the audience members now there we've got an announcement from germany's top research hospital that they're actually not recommending space between seats what more can you tell us about exactly now they are saying that we can sit next to each other and every seat can be filled if there is a good in modern. technology event ventilation system and so on and but in the end it depends of the discipline of the audience everybody has to wear face mosque and has to stay in the sea but usually in a classic concept nobody would jump out of the sea trying to dance or to sing along . we quite safe you know seizing on each other like the woman who made this morning

on the train. so much my good for coming on the show thank you and now the beatles are still big here in germany and many other places but now something that's really not so popular here in germany and that is dressing well now you may have heard of some big fashion labels with german names like hugo boss. or jill sander but generally speaking people in germany are a little bit more slobby her she is a reporter rachel stewart in our series meet the germans. what i think of german fashion really put me on the spot here i mean i don't want to generalize but i think there are a couple of things i've made every day is casual friday in germany a jeans and sneakers combo is that up to the top not only on the top of the supermarket but also based on the like the. favorite among men and women is the practical. preferably bayesian unflattering and absolute classic that screams

judgment out on holiday is the short sleeve check shirt. something for the whole family the sensible some go minus 7.6 some studies show that despite having the highest g.d.p. in your judgment on the ticket any big spenders when it comes to fashion what they do buy tends to favor functionality over an envoy. to look. at this new. shoes. scene zone has a view in the ore body in the jeans understanding or the. jeans and. does a fashion. which would also give us a few. clicks on the sensor head downwards and fast to tire company. and fired. mortars and you can. so the

germans are more backpack than clutch but more high top than high heel but that's not necessarily a bad thing for sure the french might be chic but the germans are comfortable the overall trend for practicality and thriftiness also mean that your clothes are less likely to mark you out with belonging to a particular social class oh and the transition from day to night is a breeze some say this harks all the way back to when most of modern day germany was part of the kingdom of prussia the so-called pression virtues include a sense of order self-restraint and pragmatism different cities in germany and then for a particular fashion tics in hamburg it's a passion for dark blue everything and bright yellow raincoats the chicane mickey not in the sort of push or the finer things in life and in munich everyone was lead a holes in every single day just getting as the life was that would be for us tourists it's just not happening sorry. then we have been in so you know everything i told you so far about german fashion just to get it.

so. and i planned. again all that. has been i'm building up. rachel stewart there nailing berlin street style you can watch her whole series at d w dot com slash meet the germans or on instagram now what is the opposite of a super hero maybe a super spreader of infectious diseases one of europe's 1st major outbreaks of coronavirus was in the austrian ski resort. and it's pretty easy to imagine how

when you see the pictures in the new book by photographer noise blog. photos taken before the pandemic. sometimes we all need to get away whether it's out of boredom you're going through a midlife crisis or just plain fed up issue for many is the place to gather. those hashim like no defines school as delirium. and a rush hour of mass tourism his pitches show us the meaning of excess. cash on t.v. i just wanted to take a look at how far can the tourist industry go before it goes too fast for the some uninflected griped. the small village with just $1600.00 residents had around $1400000.00 visits each winter season then covered 19 hit and ishmael is now known

alpine to wrist industry could and should function. now if months without. wild parties have left you down here's a new reason to keep on doing nothing an arctic outta me in hamburg is awarding 3 grants of 1600 euros for people to do nothing applicants have to describe what it is they plan not to do with the money for how long thanks for watching by for now. and.
