The Beatles first played Hamburg on August 17, 1960. 60 YEARS AGO!!
And OF COURSE there are photos from that day!!!
On August 17th 1960, the Beatles played their very first concert at Indra, a Hamburg music club. Over the following two and a half years, the band played 281 gigs in Germany, and laid the foundations of their career. Hamburg is where the Beatles became stars, and they never tired of stressing the importance of their apprenticeship years in the music metropolis Hamburg, with John Lennon confessing: "I was born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg".
