resonates 60 . 60 years ago this week the beatles played their very 1st concert and my colleague michael korda is here with me michael we know looking back there that that concert in hamburg was a milestone in music history did the band have any sense of that at the time certainly. the knot they were is so young so experienced they hadn't even written their own songs yet mike and it was just a cover bed and not the best one and 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 there wasn't even a bad way they could sleep they slept backstage it was a tough time but they learned a lot in the extreme hard work 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 every single start 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 foot for they were fife. sacked kid w
