NME Poll Winners '64. Even though Lennon flubbed "You Can't Do That," they bounce back like pros and, being at the top of their game, absolutely kill.

You needn't feel that way, you know. I tried it without a capo just to see what would happen. Using the open A pair of strings, you can get some kind of raga rock thing going. Anyway, it's just my way of a different take on a song.

Lying with his eyes
While his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife
Which he ate and donated to the National Trust

As a big fan of their earlier period, these 3 shows always make me grab my guitar and play along.

I love how they sound like they were really into it compared to later shows where they began to sound bored. When I see these, I can get a sense of what being at the Cavern was all about.
