This is very early, possible the first BBC performance for them. Pete is still in the group. You can hear some of his poor overplaying beginning just after the one minute point. He had a tendency to try and hog the spotlight, not the simple solid back beat you want in a good drummer.
@gmd1417 Actually, this is the Beatles, with Paul singing. In 1962 they did some live recordings for the BBC, this being one of them. They did do the one album, backing Tony Sheridan in June of 1962. Paul, even as early as 1961 was very adept at imitating people like Elvis and Orbison, so I have no doubt that this is Paul. It's definitely not Tony Sheridan though, I gaurantee that.
@mattsabby definitely Macca, I believe this was one of their earlier songs from the Cavern playlist, recorded initially to woo would-be record labels...as we know, all but one rejected them.
@PERROMALDO a terrorist? just because he's got a mustache and beard? terrorists have no specific look... any joe of the street could be a terrorist...

I only knew Roy Orbison's song but this cover is awesome! Do you know if I can find it in any Beatles' record?

THIS IS NOT THE BEATLES, UNLESS THEY ARE BACKING UP SOME VOCALIST LIKE TONY SHERIDAN.

Incidentally- This is, in fact, tfrom the Beatles very first performance on the BBC. Pete Best is on drums on this one.
The other 3 songs done as part of this first performance were Please Mr. Postman and Picture of You.
