Their first gig in Hamburg was at the notorious Indra Club, frequented by rowdy drunks. After a shaky start at the club, the Beatles honed their stage presence over the course of close to 50 consecutive nights of playing. As they got better word spread and the crowds got bigger and bigger.

Finally things got out of hand and the police decide to shut down the club. That did not stop the Beatles, the simply moved to a larger venue at the Kaiserkeller. With the Beatles came the crowds.

Podcast Summary

Grab your favorite Hefeweizen and give a listen !

The city of Hamburg was brilliant; a big lake, and then the dirty part. The Reeperbahn and Grosse Freiheit were the best thing we'd ever seen, clubs and neon lights everywhere and lots of restaurants and entertainment. It looked really good and the sounds coming from every club's Jukebox playing Rock 'N' Roll and the new English bands being told to Mach Show, Mach Show!

"die sündige Meile"

Now if you've lost your inheritance
And all you've left is common sense
And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
Or the mattress where you sleep
Behind every window, behind every door
The apple is gone but there's always the core
The seeds will sprout up right through the floor
Down there in the Reeperbahn
