1961 – The Beatles perform at St. John’s Hall, Bootle. For this show The Beatles receive a larger fee from the promoter than usual–7.5 pounds (7 pounds, 10 shillings).
1962 The Beatles perform at the Cavern Club – a night show.
An eight-hour music marathon was staged at the Cavern on this Sunday night, titled “Rhythm And Blues Marathon”.
The Beatles topped a bill that also included The Fourmost, Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes, The Hollies, The Merseybeats, The Roadrunners, Earl Preston and the TTs, and the Swinging Blue Jeans. ‘Swinging’ Cilla Black also took to the stage during Kingsize Taylor’s set.
Mike Hart [of The Roadrunners] had an amazingly strong voice and I didn’t know he was asthmatic until one day he was doing this song and really belting it out and he turned to one side, took out an inhaler and had a few whacks. If you don’t get your air out properly, you are going to sing flat or the note is going to drop, and to be able to sing like that with asthma is amazing.
1963 -The Beatles perform at the Cavern Club – a night show.

1969- American Allen Klein is hired by John, George, and Ringo to handle The Beatles’ financial affairs. Paul refuses to be represented by Klein; he wants John Eastman to continue to represent him. This split is a key moment in the disintegration of The Beatles. As a compromise with Paul, the other Beatles agree to let Eastman and Eastman serve as The Beatles’ general counsel. But the antagonism between the brash Klein and the refined Eastmans leaves everyone miserable and unhappy with the situation. Klein’s abrasiveness toward Clive Epstein leads Epstein to sell Nemperor to Triumph Investment instead of to The Beatles.
2004- To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Beatles first landing on American soil, Apple released “The Beatles First U.S. Visit”, the film that documented this momentous event, in a new DVD package.
