  • Shit me ! its August 22 2011, 49 years ago today !

  • "Some Other Guy" was an appropriate title -- they'd fired Pete Best less than a week prior to making this film. Some other guy now was on the drums -- Ringo.

    It's not on this version but at the very very end a man's voice shouts out "We want PETE!" and some of the others take up the call before it fades out.

  • And 8 years later they'd changed the world.

  • I love the old Cavern footage... I visited The Cavern when I was in Liverpool... it was such a tiny space, here where they were set up, it seemed much smaller in person than it does even in the footage. Wish I could have seen them in those days... I have an aunt from Warrington, who used to shop in Liverpool with her sisters quite often, and she thinks she heard them once. She doesn't remember for sure, because they weren't famous yet at that time.

  • bless you for posting this :D

  • My grandma rode in an elevator with them she was seven and didnt know who they were and her mum was in the room and she was just riding up and down and they got on at the bottom and rode all the way up to the top wit hher and talked to her. she doesnt remember what they said besides "Wheres your mummy?" but the talked to her the entire ride and nobody belived her when she got to the room. i am sooo jelous!! In 1964 in cleveland. oh

  • The mother fucking Beatles.

  • I feel like I've just watched the birth of rock and roll and it's beautiful!

  • Who knew that you'd find 4 of the most talented people in history in the same town?

  • No elf and safety in those days, the water used to drip down the brickwork because of the condensation and there was no fire escape but the sound was great and we didn't realise then just what the future held for the band. I used to love going to the Cavern with my mate Betty, very happy days.

  • @Multikingsley ahh lucky you!! i really wish i was from ur generation!(i´m 24)

  • @slatskatya Yes, it was a great time but we really didn't realise how big they were going to become as there was so many bands playing around Liverpool at that time. The Cavern used to be buzzing and my work mate and I used to spend some of our lunchtimes in the Cavern too as they used to sell a bowl of soup and bread roll very cheaply and we could listen to the bands as well. Fabulous times.

  • @Multikingsley i bet those were cool times! :)

  • @slatskatya It was really great and everyone was so happy and people were not so aggressive as they are today. All we drank in those days was coffee in the local coffee bars, we didn't have the money to drink alcohol anyway but it didn't matter because we could have a good time without it.

  • @Multikingsley the music and energy was like redbull i guess :)) that is cool

  • @slatskatya It was such a contrast to what we had been listening to on the radio and records. We felt as though we had been liberated musically because it enabled us to dance and feel the rythm in a sort of uninhibited way. What makes it even better is that I have met Sir Paul on a couple of occasions as his relatives lived close to where I lived in Wallasey. He is just as easy going as he appears on the tv and a thoroughly nice guy.

  • @Multikingsley wow! so lucky! I am sure they were nice (i mean body language and all that shows they were down to earth guys ).Music was done from the heart,real feelings and emotions,not like many "bands" nowadays that is just for money(of course there are exceptions) You guys experienced a whole new world,found out many interesting stuff ! and for sure babyboomers had a real generational gap,because the previous generations were so different !

  • @slatskatya Yes, you're so right and Sir Paul continues to write and did so even after the Beatles as he finds melodies come so easy to him. I sing in a community choir and we are currently learning a medley of Beatles songs, one of them being The Long And Winding Road which is a beautiful song and we hope we can do it the justice it deserves. It is nice to think that the Beatles music can still be enjoyed by young and old and will obviously stand the test of time.

  • @Multikingsley yep, he is a great musician! and music like the beatles did is gonna be enjoyed forever and lots of lucks in the choir :)

  • @slatskatya Thank you very much for your good wishes, good luck to you too. 

  • @Multikingsley ur welcome! thanx :)

  • @xPockyyKitten14 Definately. Doc, fire up the Delorean we're going back in time!

  • @xPockyyKitten14 if i could go back il stop john lennon getting killed so we can see more of this !

  • Some Other Guy is sippin' up my honey like a yellow hog.

  • my grand father tried going in there but they didnt let him can anyone please tell me why???

  • Must be one of their first filmed performances?

  • 22 de agosto 1962 la presentación de aquel cuarteto en el the cavern club, cambia de nombre a the beatles y dramáticamente cambian de baterista

  • They look so innocent :D

  • I know that wouldve been sick to see them do this song live at the club

  • Paul was playing that funny looking guitar back then, and he's usually playing one just like it, I wonder if its the same one. Willie Nelson's been playing the same guitar for a long time, his is signed by Elvis. The Beatles met Elvis once, there is only one photo of the meeting from outside, no recording of their jam session.

  • @Billionaireben what Paul is playing is his bass, and im pretty sure it is the same exact one that he plays now. and im also pretty sure that is his Hofner Bass.

  • @castielsangel95 it is mate

  • @Billionaireben its a hofner bass yeah it is the same one he uses today

  • @kenco124 Actualy not. That Höfne 500/1 from 1961 was stolen from Abbey Road during the making of the album Abbey Road. The one he uses today is his 1962 wich he first used as a back-up bass if the other one did not work.

    /Fabian

  • Next year, the clip of this performance will have been shot *50* years ago.

    Holy cats.

  • Is this a Beatles song or is it a cover ? it's a brilliant song :)

  • @JHDELIVERY22 is a cover.

  • great video, thanks for uploading

  • spooky...

  • Si que estaba, Neil Aspinal, comenta sobre eso en el Antology

  • I get chills as i watch this, knowing what they became, you know??

  • Comment removed

  • Ringo acababa de entrar al grupo, creo que por ahí se oyen interrupciones del publico que quería a Pete Best jajajaja

  • @peteryagami

    No todavia no entraba, entro despues de esto, creo que esta era su ultima semana con ellos

  • Thank God for youtube! Thanks for uploading this! What a trip it is to watch this!

  • loved going to the cavern last yearxxxxxx

  • @TheDiddlysquat dude i have the answere of our question: It is Pete best!

    btw: after this concert, he was fired from the band

  • There is no George Best idiot! Stu Sutcliffe had died just before this video was made. Stu couldn't play a note. Its clearly Paul playing bass. Look at the video.

  • Whats eerie about it. You are obviously not a musician and don't understand what you are hearing

  • this song is so weird. it has an eerie feel to it. :I

  • dont they have beatle bobble heads in there outfit at shea stadium

  • the comment about hard work is spot on...by the time the Beatles hit the big time, they were already seasoned veterans of the road

  • @xPockyyKitten14  Me too.

  • @trublu71 and me !!PLEASE!!

  • 5 bieber fans has viewed this video

    

  • My dad thinks he was here when this was filmed. He saw The Beatles in the Cavern !

  • @Robotdrummerzzk Are you a Liverpudlian? Wasn't the Cavern destroyed and a car park put over it? Or was it just covered over? Watching these clips you can almost feel the dank air and smell the cheese and mold! Too bad no footage exists of the B's before Brian Epstein cleaned them up. Would love to see them in the leather and drinking beer and smoking on stage!

  • @wolfiestanzi I'm not myself, although my dad was. I think it was knocked down for a train track foundation or something...although it was never made... what a waste.

  • good to know that some people still have these videos :)

  • Comment removed

  • Kind of funny looking at them on that tiny stage...in a few years they went from literally playing underground on a postage stamp to playing on the world stage.

  • pauls head movements are so funny. :)

  • pauls heads movments are so funny. :)

  • Cool - this must surely be the earliest surviving film footage of the Beatles?

  • @xPockyyKitten14 do you know how many times I've had that same thought !?

    There is a Beatles tribute band in a pub close to where I live ,I go sometimes and semi close my eyes while they play the early stuff and I time/space travel to the cavern for split seconds ,it's surreal !

  • A lot of real men got their cocks sucked in that club.

  • Went to Liverpool in 2004 and visited The Cavern. Although I know it was not the original

    .I still felt the MAGIC!!!!!! Love you BEATLES!!

  • george was only 19 in this .... 

  • Whats this song? :D

  • It was 58 years ago, not 100...

  • @xoxonceuponatimexox

    48 years ago. Ah, I remember it well.

  • @xoxonceuponatimexox fail, 48, not 58

  • @ReachForTheHalo oops lol

  • actually it was nearly 49 years ago

  • I visited Cavern in 1972, and when my fiancee and I went into a near by bookshop to by some post cards, she said you should have come here only 2 minutes ago, then Paul was here..

    Well, then as a teen and totally preoccupied with them, it would have been the big day, but today..I dont know; things change; world change

    ed

  • @onlinelondon Awww poor you

  • Now I know where The Rutles' "Goose Step Mama" comes from.

  • Priceless!!!! And looking at them now as an adult, I can't help but notice they were INFANT GENIUSIES!! I mean how old were they?? What, George was what, 19?? Most peeps today don't hit the big time till they reach their late 20's!!

  • And a year and a half later they were the four most famous people on Earth. You can't make this shit up.

  • Paul sweating is soooo hot =)

  • If there's anything that you want, if there's anything I can do, just call on me and i'll send it along, with love, From some other guy, to you!

  • @Stevesk0011 hahahahahah great!!!!

  • the beatles forever in the world!

  • i love how synchronized they are dancing

  • Is George Harrison using a Les Paul in this video or is it some sort of Grestch guitar?

  • @dubbly1 that guitar is actually a grestch its a grestch duo jet george harrison used it alot when they were in the cavern club

  • @dubbly1 its the Gretsch Duo jet guitar he bought for around 200 pounds, and is now worth over $2500 at guitar center.

  • @1967beatlesfan 75 pounds actually.

  • Ringo had only been in the band less than a week. George still may be sporting the resulting black eye.

  • @TheDiddlysquat Ok, we say its Ringo Starr on Drums, George Harrison on Rythm, Paul McCartney on Bass and John Lennon on Lead.

    Btw: Now I have a Höfner 500/1 <3 but dont interested :D

  • @Milzililili99 accually john was rythme and george was lead

  • @boatingfan wayne :D both made their jobs

  • No,actually George is almost always the lead (accept for revolution and a few other tunes). John was the great songwriter

  • @TheDiddlysquat stu was left handed ? xD

  • Comment removed

  • As good as it is, not as good as the Big Three version.

  • Who the **** is the big three! All anybody cares about is the big four!

  • this was after Brian Epstein discovered them. Before, they wore rocker outfits. I liked them better then and after 1966.

  • That was THE BEATLES, pure and simple!!!! JOHN, PAUL GEORGE and RINGO!

  • i went to the caven today was awesome and is going to perform there with my band i<3 beatles

  • Hilarious that some people on here think it's Pete Best! are you blind?

  • @thenowuk wasn't that their first drummer?

  • @chilibro Pete Best was the drummer before Ringo but you can clearly see that this is not him,it's Ringo. They got dressed up for this aswell as they knew the cameras were gna be there (hence Lennon looking slightly pissed off)

  • @thenowuk i knew ringo was drumming in this i was questioning that if best was their first drummer

  • @chilibro Yeah,he was their first full-time drummer tho they had a few before him -eg- Quarrymen and for auditions and even Paul played a few gigs on drums but Best was their original full-time drummer

  • @thenowuk yeah i knew about quarrymen wasnt that their name or used that as the name

  • @chilibro Yeah,one of their names before The Beatles,Lennon's first band

  • @thenowuk yeah that and like 10 others

  • In there first incarnation the drummer was Colin Hanton (quarrymen) but Pete was the Beatles first

  • Chilibro, If you read Lennons lips you can tell that he told someone to F*** OFF.

  • @GARYVism That's probably because that person was yelling for Pete Best. I think this recording was made shortly after they kicked Pete out of the band. He had a pretty good following, so some people got pissed off.

  • Amazing! Pure magic from these lads

  • That was indeed Pete Best.

  • @phojodave NO, not pete best. Pete never rolled his head back and fourth like that......and....Pete refused to go along with the Beatle Hair cut style....he wore it piled high and slicked back....the greaser look

  • @inkey2 You can tell it's Ringo because Pete Best never played like that. He always sounded like a scared little kid behind the kit.

  • Having just watched Nowhere Boy, this is especially cool to see again

  • Oh wow! That is really cool! Thanks!

  • with pete best on the drums or?

  • @Milzililili99 looks like Ringo had taken over

  • @snoogans999 Think its Pete Best, Ringo Would shake his had more :D

    But Dont know.

  • @Milzililili99

    1962 = Ringo

  • @Milzililili99 I'm pretty sure "Ringo" replaced Pete in the spring of 62, and this is at the end of August.

  • @snoogans999 Its definately ringo (99% sure).....pete best never shook and rolled his head like that.

  • @Milzililili99 and just look at the nose the jawline....that is a young Ringo

  • @snoogans999 ok then we say its Ringo ;D

  • Kind of reminds you of those bobble-heads you see on a car dash...

  • @steveconn Haha exactly!

  • Wow, great video! That crowd had no idea that they had four legends right in front of them.

  • A lot of real men got their cocks sucked in that club :)

  • @Zebonka Yep, including the Beatles!!! :D But hey, they were THE BLEEDIN BEATLES, I would have done the hopnours had I had the chance!!!

  • Look at em bopping up and down holding in so they looked formal lol

  • Who is playing the main guitar part here? George or John?

  • @Reint25

    George.

  • @bufalobilll Thanks, I already hoped it was him.

  • @Reint25

    Not at all.

    I recognised looking at the movement of George's hand on the neck.

    Bye.

    Paolo from Italy.

  • Oh them and their short hair, adorible!

  • These guys are the best tribute band ever!

  • I don't think thats ringo guys, that looks a bit more like pete best to me, and they had already started playing most of their same stuff by the time ringo came into the picture. And in 62 at the cavern they would probably be booing if that was ringo because of the loss of pete.....just sayin

  • Hey below... this film is probably the most historic in the history of The Beatles...or music, depending on where your point of view is...and your right, the guy had absolutely no idea what he was filming...

  • @Jazza54 historic in the history =D

  • D�wnl�ad this in awesome quality now just Search Google  'TheNewsBuzz"

  • Ringo's drumming

    Aww too cute

  • @MBQuaver58 I thinks thats Pete Best

  • @clonecomanderfox @clonecomanderfox

    it's definately ringo, infact it was his first peroformance with the boys

  • @clonecomanderfox sorry actuallly his first performance as a Beatle was on th 19th August... and obviously it's ringo, since they removed Pete as their drummer on the 16th

  • @alysia76 It wasn't until *The Beatles* (White album) and the Yellow Submarine move that I caught on to them, and only been since I bought last year's the box sets (stereo and mono) that I've sat down and listened to their whole catalogue. I'm in my 50s and only a year or so ago figured out what Jazz is. But I have a head filled with the wonders of science. We are a beautiful, wonderful species and my wish is for all to take advantage of their humanity however they may, while they still can.

  • @alysia76 Each age group* gets to live through its own special times. I actually missed the Beatles, for the most part, not because I was too young (my parents dragged me into the TV room to watch them on Ed Sullivan while Mom kept going, "Look at that fellow's NOSE! Oh, that poor guy! Look at his NOSE! Jerry (Dad), Do you see that one kid's NOSE?"

  • @cliffwalkinfool In reference to John or Ringo?

  • Who is drumming? It's too small for me to see. However the date is August 22, 1962. Pete Best was replaced by Ringo on August 16 (according to the Ringo article in Wiki, which gives no source). Session drummer Andy White worked on September 4, but only in the studio, played but a single session (the on "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" recordings that we all know and love).

  • @cliffwalkinfool that's ringo. if you have the anthology dvd, you hear somebody scream at the end,'where's pete"?

  • @cliffwalkinfool it's Ringo drumming on this

  • The fact that it was rebuilt to scale using most of the same bricks at a slightly different site shouldn't distract from it still being the cavern, but I think the bricks should have been whitewashed again to make the inside look more authentic and match the pics and vids they have showing in the inside of the club.

  • i was there on saturday, it threw me a bit, as last time I was on matthew street they were excavating it 81 or 82 I think, and you could clearly see the walls still painted white, no roof or arches, and the white bricks were right next to the road, should have taken a few but back then we didn't have ebay. Previous to that I was there in 1980 and accidently parked on top of it when it was just crushed rubble.

  • Johns rickenbacker 325, absolutely gorgeous guitar, just imagine owning that in 1962, wow!

  • A lot of real men got their cocks sucked in that club :)

  • @Zebonka hahahahaha epic comment!

  • FROM THE # 2 BEATLE FAN, A GREAT CLIP

  • To think 2 years later they would be playing in Shea Stadium in front of millions of people.

  • they look so sweet, young and innocent!

  • great video

  • thank you sooooo much for posting. i've seen a clip on the anthology, but never the full version

  • I visited Liverpool a few years ago, which is a big deal to me being from Ohio, and stood where the Cavern used to be. Sadly they tore it down and it's just an empty space now, and moved the Cavern Club across the street. Liverpool is a cool place.

  • is this for real?!

  • @tommoelbommo Yes, this is the only sync-sound footage of The Beatles playing in The Cavern.

  • I thought that was Ringo! This is just amazing .//!- one of the best vids on YouTube!

  • This yideo was shot just FOUR DAYS after Ringo joined the Beatles.

  • @Ottoboy111 was just about to say - and he's already so in tune with the others - really a match made in heaven

  • that drummer is ringo or pete?

    anyway:O whata GREAT VIDEO.

    on their first days as a band(:

  • Ringo. he's so cute with his little beard:)

  • you can also tell it's him because of his head-bopping:-D
