Beatles Beginnings

Volume One: Quarrymen – Skiffle – Country – Western

Quarrymen – Skiffle – Country – Western

Jazz, rocknroll, blues, music hall, guitar instrumentals, tin pan alley, rockabilly, dance band, soul, bolero, skiffle, trad, R&B, country, old-time, Broadway, doo-wop, folk, high school pop, Motown – the Beatles early influences are so wide-ranging that this series of discs could quite easily pass for an introduction to the history of twentieth century popular music. For the first six years of their career, the Beatles were essentially a covers band. When they were captured live on tape in two sets at the Star Club in Hamburg in 1962, they played thirty-two songs, only two of which were their own compositions. They established a repertoire of over 600 tunes, allowing them to tailor their set to the occasion for jazz clubs, strip clubs, church dances, folk clubs and working men’s clubs. Quarrymen One covers the period 1957-60, investigating skiffle and the other music that the individual members of the group grew up listening to before rocknroll burst on to the scene. Quarrymen Two will look at the band’s rocknroll influences.

From These Small Beginnings I think is the same as From Us To You. If so, they date the interview as June 30. However From These Small Beginnings has the concert footage ALSO dated as June 30, but Pop Go The Beatles (FAB Productions) dates the concert footage as Nov 1 (same as this clip). Also note that From These Small Beginnings has a totally different song soundtrack to this footage. So the answer to Anonymous' question is both YES and NO.

I've never seen this video before.I know that the Beatles had a tape when they visited Ireland back 1963.I would like to see if there was anybody around that might have taped a concert in 1963.
