The Beatles LIVE! 1963

from Fixing A Hole - The Beatles podcast you didn't know you needed · host Paul Humbley & Mark Wakely

In last week’s episode we took a deep dive into 1962. The final year of John, Paul, George and Ringo’s musical apprenticeship. This week we look at the first year of the second phase of their career, 1963. In particular, we delve into their live appearances. As this was the year when they moved out of the clubs and halls and entered the world of the package tour circuit. It was also a transition period with regard their fame. As they were no longer the property of a small group of Merseyside teenagers, but now Beatlemania was a nationwide phenomenon. Welcome to episode 32 of Fixing A Hole.
