Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Here's a list of songs that the Beatles played (live or practice) prior to recording with George Martin and EMI (Sept 4, 1962). Given that, I've not included "Please Please Me", or "Love Me Do" .... but perhaps they should be on this list.

I'd be interested if anyone can add/subtract/modify/correct this list.

By the way..... 182 songs on that list.

Impressive and thorough list, Kent. I certianly can't contribute, but am amazed to see all the songs they performed and in some cases recorded before EMI. How, and by what means did you compile it?

I used this for starters:
http://www.liobians.com/songs.html
then added to it from various books and records I have. I bet the full list is even longer.

OOps... The Sheik Of Araby is listed twice

See, cover bands can become successful.

Oooooh, Jerry! Vintage Diana Rigg ---- my favorite!!

Here's another 34 bringing the total to 215.
Wow, I guess the Beatles never get full credit for being one of the all-time cover bands.

I find it surprising that while the Beatles were fans of Buddy Holly, and covered at least four of his songs, 'Maybe, Baby,' wasn't one of them. Or maybe you just haven't found it yet.

I recall reading somewhere that they used to cover Oz rocker Johnny O'Keefes' hit "Shout"!
And make it go on for 20 minutes to fill a set!

Yeah! I have a list somewhere of all the songs they've ever performed... I'll type it all, as I am bored. included are all songs performed, not written by them (some exceptions for instrumentals). This list includes 239 songs... so enjoy! Included, is the name of the artist who made the song popular.

BTW - I didn't include covers they released on albums either.

And make it go on for 20 minutes to fill a set!

In 1964 on a show called "Around the Beatles," The Beatles closed with a version of Shout. This is the show on which they did a version of A Midsummer Night's Dream in costume. I believe that the songs were recorded in the studio and they mimed.

What “tennis nick” has demonstrated is just how wide ranging The Beatles live repertoire was back in those early 1960s playing days. Which was very much the product of the type of recordings that were around at the time and the available practice / performance time in Hamburg to just about try anything they could get away with. The Beatles could have sung the phone book and German club goers wouldn’t have know the difference or for that matter cared, as long as it sounded something like rock ‘n’ roll.

Unlike the majority of other groups in Liverpool at the time, that was one of the attractions of The Beatles. One never quite knew what they were going to play onstage. Watching other local groups perform live on a regular basis invariably meant that sooner or later one would hear the same numbers coming round again and again. Only the likes of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes and Derry and the Seniors could compete with The Beatles when it came to strength of repertoire. And, like The Beatles, that was by virtue of them being fully (rather then semi) professional that resulted in long summer residential bookings at UK ‘holiday camps’ and frequent monthly tours round Continental Europe playing at US Air Force and Army bases.

However, what was musically noticeable about many of The Beatles live sets was how suddenly they could stop local Liverpool club audiences in their tracks by throwing in a number that was seeming so out-of-place for a three-guitar and drums group. I can remember numbers like, Wooden Heart, September In The Rain and I Remember You.

I also seem to recall George Harrison doing a lot more vocally live than he was allowed to do on record. Harrison and McCartney onstage were akin to a well-oiled machine on either side of a freestanding ribbon microphone. One could see that the pair had obviously endlessly practised their technique of single and dual use of a standalone microphone while simultaneously playing their shoulder slung instruments.

Looking down the list of live numbers that The Beatles are purported to have performed, I’m surprised that one particular number is not included – and that's Zip-a-dee-doo-dah from Walt Disney’s Song of the South.

Lewisohn admits that his list is probably far from complete for 1957-63, and we can see that that is true in that he leaves out songs like: Moonglo, Why, Ain't She Sweet, Nobody’s Child, Sweet Georgia Brown, Take Out Some Insurance on Me Baby, which we know were played.

So, with a little cleaning up, here is the combined list so far:

Peter.... you sound like you had been there and seen the Beatles in the early days... is that true? If so, can you tell us lots more?

Can you verify that they played "Wooden Heart" and "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"?
