I visited Liverpool in 1984 by car, stayed a few nights in Hotel Mount Pleasant in the center of the city and I went off course to Matthew Street to see the Cavern.As a Beatle fan it was great to be there. I will never forget it. Perhaps one day I will go to Hamburg, who knows. George and John, may they rest in peace.
'Some Other Guy' was filmed at The Cavern on my birthday. Exactly 3 years later, I saw the boys, live, in Portland OR. I turned 9 years old that day. It was 1965 and Beatlemania was in full bloom. While they played, the girls were screaming and crying, at the same time. They played for 37 minutes, it seemed longer. I remember saying to myself, 'That is really them' and 'This is the best place to be, in the world'. It turns out, that was a special highlight of my life because, for a young person in 1965, The Beatles dominated our existence. Very cool documentary.
Hey Im from Portland ! but i never saw the beatles live but my mom tells me she was at candlestick park with tiny me in her tummy . Thats the closest i got to seeing the Beatles live 🤩
My wife Yolanda and I were there too late in 2008,but still was great,we used our imagination and saw and heard the Beatles.Met Alan Williams as well.."and you know that can't be bad" yeah yeah yeah.
My favorite street on earth is Mathew Street. Beyond explaining. Just love it with all my heart. Been there twice, once in 1979 and again in 2019. Number nine...
@federicotraeger2332 This Yank and a buddy visited Mathew St on 9/9/80. Met some wonderful Scousers that night and met many more over my next few visits, the last being in March 1983. Drank Pils, Bitters, and Scotch & Coke at The Grapes; even attended a Reds match in '83. A magical city that probably looked much like it did when "they" traversed the city centre and suburbs as teens. Remember the "horse-trough" urinal in the gents?
I adored this. Never saw it in 2011. I made only one trip overseas and it was in 1982. My mom had written to her pen-pal Shirley, who grew up in Liverpool, since the end of WW2. I came over to the UK and stayed with Shirley with my friend Judy, and, we did the Beatles site tour with our own personal guide, Shirley, who was wonderful and a riot. So funny! My mom and she wrote to each other, and, later called each other, until this past September when my mom passed away. Nearly 75 years being Pen Pals! Wow. Shirley and I are friends to this day and I've picked up the friendship that she and mom had. :) In June 1982 Shirley and her brother Jack and her then husband, Les, took me to Penny Lane, Strawberry Field gates, Forthlin Road, Mathew Street and many many other places. It was marvelous. Especially going there with a friend and not a paid guide. She is and was a REAL Liverpudlian!! Alas, as shown in the video on RUclips, I too could only stand atop the ruins of The Cavern, which in 1982 was indeed a "car park." That, my friends, was a damn shame that Liverpool let that happen. I hope that maybe someday I'll get back to Liverpool and the UK and I'd be happy to visit the re-recreated Cavern, which I guess is as good as it's going to get! :)
The Beatles did around 10 shows on their first "abroad tour" after Germany, and it was SWEDEN of all places? In Stockholm they played together with an old local Swedish Star called "Jerry Williams" from Star Club in the Hamburg days. The ground in Sweden still shakes from their 1963-64 shows.
Yeah in 1982 LIVERPOOL wasn't a very good place to be it was a very run down place and forgotten by the government.But now it's a totally different place it's totally changed a lot and now one of the up and coming cities in England..😁🤞🎸🎼
@@drjerry5389 I love their segment on that Swedish TV programme (I always forget the name of it but it's on YT) that must have been during that '63 tour.

By the end the whole place was rocking out! If they had that much energy and joy in their performances for that whole tour it would have been so great to see. Sadly, I didn't get to see them until late in '64 (I was 12), after their big US tour and you could tell they were already a bit tired and 'over' all the screaming and craziness.

I was in the Cavern Club two days ago and entering the club was a life altering experience much like the feelings I had when I visited 9 mile in Jamaica and Graceland in Memphis Tennessee. Knowing that you've walked the same paths that your idols ,many of whom are no longer with us is a special feeling.
Went to the new Cavern a few months back. It was a Tuesday afternoon and the place was packed! Ever time the lone musician on stage would do a Beatles number he was somewhat drowned out by all the patrons singing to the tune! Definitely put it on your bucket list to visit the Cavern and the Beatles sites in Liverpool.
I've always wanted to build a time machine and go back in time to see them play the Cavern Club in their early days. I even had a specific date in mind too. December 27, 1961 That's the day Ringo sat in for Pete on stage for the first time. To all them LUCKY kids who got to experience that historic event... 👍 👍 👍 👍
Great video, thanks. I have a bit of connection, I had a neighbour 3 houses down from mine, here in Vancouver, Dave from Liverpool, he was John’s age (1940). He told me many stories about that particular life back then in Liverpool. He never knew The Beatles personally, but he went to school with mates who knew them, and he saw them many times performing. At the beginning he did not think they were that good, he said they used to throw paper cups at them 😂 Great memories, I only wished I made a video interview with Dave before he died last year. Cheers.
I was 5 in 1965, from Boston, even at that young age the Beatles where a big impact on our little conservative city. From them on it was Beatles music on the radio constantly, then harder rock from other would be iconic bands, but they obviously broke open the doors to everybody from Aerosmith to Zep.
The Beatles wil always keep the Cavern alive! Even in 100 years the Beatles will still be here and the Cavern too! Just like the classic music from the 1800's! The Beatles will always gather new fans!
Had to laugh at the bloke at the beginning who said "if the Cavern had been in America, it would have been a shrine." Considering just about every famous venue in America has all been torn down or re-developed.
41:42 That scene hurts too much about what life passing by . R.I.P. John and George and to the rest of people who made Cavern Club being the most famous music club in the world.
it's called life. george didnt fear death. john didn't. they both described dying like changing clothes. so why are you...of all people...bitching and moaning?
Well done documentary. Excellent cinematography and editing. The Narrator created a smooth flow and the script was not bad at all. Filmed at the right year to get the remaining fans and witnesses, we can appreciate this celluloid remembrance in 2022 and beyond.
Great documentary. In one sense the Cavern Club lives on; in another sense there's no way to recreate it. The phenomenon in which that venue played such a key role was unique. It's hard for people who were not yet born at that time to grasp the explosive rate of cultural and artistic change. In 1961 the Beatles play their first Cavern gig, in 1963 "Love Me Do" is released, in 1964 they appear on the Ed Sullivan Show, and in 1967 "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is released. Unbelievable.
I'm afraid the local government Labour Party in the UK has a dreadful record of committing acts of travesty on important landmarks. It's a country-wide issue and the list of wonderful old buildings these crooked people sanctioned to be tore down for the contents of a brown envelope from crooked developers is endless.
If only £500 could have been found at the time, the railway company would have moved the air shaft along & we would still have the original venue. Don’t think it would have passed today’s health & safety regulations though.
So many documentaries around on the Cavern, and I've enjoyed every one I've watched. This was one of the best--lots of material and sentimental about it--but what else do you want?
Oh 2 have been there @ the 1st. It was great 2 see & hear the old people from gross 2 like gerry marsden from gerry & the pacemakers etc. The people that were there. What an exciting time 4 music & the Beatles of course. The club was made legendary.
Poor Pete Best. You can see in his eyes that it crushed him, and he never recovered. A cruel cosmic joke. Imagine him seeing them become the biggest phenomenon in the world. And he struggled to survive as a night shift bakery worker. But he can say proudly that he was in the Beatles, and nobody can take that away from him.
@@Cosmo-Kramer yeah, that’s why Pete is in the “Afterbeats” while Ringo tours the “All Starr Band” with a cast of #1 selling artists. Yup, Pete, who didn’t get picked up by any other band, is better than Ringo, considered one of the best feel drummers of all time by all the other best drummers in the world. And you, who can’t even come up with an original fake name. Right…
And i can proudly say that Randolph Peter Best was born 24 November 1941 in Madras, India. The same town that gave the world Arnold Dorsey (better know to all as Engelbert Humperdinck) 🎶🎶🎶 ☮️❤🇮🇳
PETE THE 3 REMAINING BEATLES WANTED YOU OUT MATE BECAUSE AS JOHN LENNON SAID ...HE IS A LOUSY DRUMMER !....AND AS GEORGE HARRISON SAID : RINGO WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE TRUE BEATLES DRUMMER....STILL IS TO THIS DAY .AND THE BEST EVER 💖💖💖💖🎶🎶🎶🎶
The ironic thing is that when The Beatles very first played down in The Cavern, they got told, by the owner and the manager of the club at the time, to "Cut out the bloody Rock-'n'-Roll!" Thank God, in hindsight, that they chose not to heed that warning!
I’ve been to the replacement Cavern a few times and watched some really authentic Beatles tribute bands there. Thing is the Cavern now has been in existence far far longer than the original. The layout is the same just more civilised lol!
The reason Pete Best was fired was because it was discovered in recording sessions that Pete could NOT keep the same tempo throughout an entire song. George Martin, the Beatles producer noticed it right away and said that the "Drummer was much good." that was the end of Pete.
It's shocking to think but we'll soon be getting to the stage where all those who saw the Beatles at the Cavern are no longer around. I'm 60 and a Beatles fan but even I'm too young to have went to the Cavern then. I always wonder how long the Beatles can stay popular. But then their stuff still sells even though they split in 1970.
Given the depth and diversity of their catalogue, I believe there will always be something in the Beatles music that people will resonate with. It's true they were a little unfashionable for awhile (mid-70s to 80s or so) when people liked to try and sound 'cool' by saying they were just an overrated boy band (!!). But now their whole catalogue is easily accessible it becomes clear to most that was never the case. It's wonderful to see a whole new generation of young people discovering them and falling in love with them like we did, all over again. Like the classic music of past centuries, I'm sure the Beatles' music will live on for many hundreds of years at least! :-)
I like this documentary overall but C'MON, we know why Pete was fired, HE WASN'T THAT GOOD. Ringo fit in perfectly, one of the most influential drummers of all time.
@@joeblaumer2085 What the hell's THAT got to do with anything??!! Had Ringo not gotten the Beatles job, he never would've made a name for himself outside of Liverpool and Hamburg. He's said in interviews that his band, Rory Storm and The Hurricanes, were going nowhere, and he was already preparing to get a regular job before he was asked to replace Pete.
If the other three were so jealous of Pete as some have claimed then it wouldn't have worked to keep him in the band. They needed good chemistry between them to be successful.
Rumours went round about Paul being jealous but history has shown in was George who fought to get Pete removed. Once George Martin said he wouldn’t use Pete in the Studio ( due to bad time keeping ) they had to find someone else & why not use the guy who sat in for Pete when he couldn’t make gigs.
The music industry is ruthless. Pete should honestly just be happy he has his fame as an almost Beatle. Ringo had charm, consistently great drumming talent, cute sad puppy looks, and was hilarious. He fit in with the Fabs perfectly and Pete didn’t. Sorry Pete, they can’t be loyal-they wanted to be toppermost of the poppermost.
@@thesilvershining I have a feeling that Pete came thru it all, made peace with something pretty difficult and is alright. Post-Anthology, I understand he made a few pounds for his early-sixties effort.
I am sure I read it was George Martin was the man behind the sacking of Pete Best.He had brought in a session drummer on an earlier recording and advised Brian Epstein that Pete wasn't good enough.Paul made sure Pete received royalties for all recordings he was on.
@@blueheart1946 Ringo is on the LMD single. Ron Richards is the man who decided Pete’s time keeping wasn’t good enough to record & booked session drummer Andy White. After the session with Pete, George Martin told the other three that he wouldn’t use Pete on records but never said Pete had to go. George Harrison pushed the others to get Ringo in.
There is no mystery, Pete was just not a very good drummer! After playing all of those hundreds and hundreds of shows he never improved, and the others left him far behind in skill level. They knew someone who was much better and grabbed him up! And Pete was well taken care of financially by the Beatles. He received a VERY handsome sum for the Anthology series. And they didn't have to do that.
That sums it up . Pete did get a small pay out in 1968 after a long legal battle, it looks like it was to shut him up because Brian took care of Pete after his dismissal. It didn’t help that Ringo sat in for Pete 4 times before he was asked to join, they knew how good Richie was.
I know Pete , I have met him and worked with him at conventions . Pete is a very nice guy , but I have watched him play the drums , he is not very good .That is why Pete has his half brother , play drums next to him on stage .
Do the Cavern steps lead under the street above? I guess I didn't understand how it was turned into a parking lot ,but now the new entrance is a couple of doors down from the old. It's a building, not a parking lot. Confusing, but glad some of it is still accessible.
From looking at the original plans, you went in the door & down a small set of steps which then turned right which took you down into the club . The main part of the club stretched out to the left ( looking at the main entrance) so the club was under the few buildings to the left of the entrance. When those buildings were knocked down they also filled in the cellar’s below hence the car park on top of where the Club had been . The Original entrance is sill there & is the fire escape for the new Cavern, so a small part of the original cellar is still there. ( seen in this documentary)
If the original was undamaged by the railway renovation, why not dig down? Put a stairway in the parking lot going down to it. The carpark can remain except for maybe 2 spots for the stairway down. The outside is unimportant. Its where The Beatles et al actually played that counts.
That is what is so sad about the whole thing as they never DID build that underground railway (I don't know what the reason was for not building it), but the original Cavern was basically filled in and buried.
I thought the same thing, but when later in the video under Freda's name, she is given credit that she was their Fan Club secretary. For anyone reading this there is a whole video on Freda Kelly called "GOOD OL' FREDA" which is EXCELLENT. She toured the states when the video came out and it was shown in movie theaters when she was there. She did a question and answer session after the film was shown. Got to meet her 3 times when she was here in Cleveland and speak with her for awhile each time. Lovely lady and around my age (2 years older than I am) I could sit and chat with her for hours. "GOOD OL' FREDA" can be found here on You Tube.
Pete Best made a lot of money. Like John said he wasn't a very good drummer. George Martin was the first top pick up on it and booked a session drummer to record the first record
Pete Best FINALLY made a lot of money when THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY came out in 1995, and in VOL.1 they used recordings where Pete was STILL their drummer, so he got royalties from that, which I totally feel he deserved. He was a Beatle for 2 years and went through the development and hard years with them, and was fired just before they got their recording contract. So I was happy that he finally cut a cut of what he was due. I have met him 4 times and he is a sweet guy, and he's also VERY funny, in a quiet way. He is happy with his life, has a great family and a lot of fans today.
As big of a Beatle fan I've been since the age of 13. I could never understand why it took so long for the other three to give Pete his due with money. It took 30 years for them to make it right and then only because he was on the Anthology releases. I alway thought Pete wasn't given the respect he deserved. He helped them in rather a big way for their way forward. Just saying.
What were they supposed to do, pay him for shows he didnt play and albums/songs he didnt play on? He played drums in a bar band, when that bar band wanted to move on to recording music, he wasnt good enough. Nobody every said he wasnt an adequate drummer for a bar band and as an adequate drummer for a bar band he got the respect he deserved.
What money was he due? I never understood The Beatles to be a benevolent charity. He had already let them down on four occasions under professional recording conditions and really was not good enough. Perhaps had he practised a lot more, rather than concentrating on his private life, he may have been a much better drummer.
@@apollomemories7399 Well said. He was due the charity tithes he and all failure class expect as their right. The OP is obviously a simpy emoturd. It's a common argument amongst the most common.
I thought Lennon died on Dec 8th, in this video they say Dec 9th. Could it be that he died on the 8th in New York but in England was already Dec 9th? 🤔 Anyhow..GREAT Video 👍
Officially pronounced dead at 11.15 pm on the 8th US time, which is 4.15 am on the 9th UK time, with New York always 5 hours behind. Records are always based on local time where the death actually took place. The time of day anywhere else is irrelevant.
@@apollomemories7399 We know that. The point was he was a British citizen and the number NINE was RELEVANT. Of course he passed away in the US on the 8th, but it was the 9th in the UK where he was born ( 10/NINE)1940.
@@apollomemories7399 prove it. There's no proof other than dates. He did NOT play the Cavern. He may have been in Liverpool for maybe two weeks, but returned to Hamburg and passed away there. WRONG again.
@@idfy2599 I'll give you that. I'd misread my notes. They say met at Cavern and socialised a couple of times, not played a couple of times. But he was there, so to speak. I will delete my posts.
Pete Best gave him "his best" and didn't John say that the "best playing was never recorded"? wasn't Pete playing the drums with them? I feel for Pete, but he showed that he has character and "life goes on"
ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE ORIGONAL FLOOR PLAN OF THE CAVERN WAS? WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGONAL STAGE WAS ACTUALLY WHERE THE "NERW " STAGE IS IN THE BACK. DUNNO..... : (
The REPLICA Cavern is across the street from the original Cavern. I was in the original Cavern on Aug. 30, 1968 and again in July of 1972, when I was visiting Liverpool (in '68 to meet my pen-pal of 3 years and stay with his family for 5 weeks....I am from Ohio...and then the '72 visit was a year after my pen-pal and I were married in '71) We returned to England and Liverpool for a delayed honeymoon through out the southwest and central parts of England and then back up to Liverpool to spend 3 more weeks with my then husband's family. That last time I was there in Liverpool was when we returned in 1984 with our 3 children so they could meet the Liverpool side of their Dad's family. It was a GREAT time. I guess the "New" Cavern hadn't opened yet when we were there, because we did return to Mathew Street with the kids, and didn't see it.
I DONT FEEL SORRY FOR PETE BEST. LIKE GEORGE ONCE SAID...IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO B RINGO....HE JUST HADNT ENTERED THE FILM YET..... PETE BANKED TO THE TUNE OF SEVERAL MILLION $$$$$$ WHEN THE ANTHOLOGY CAME OUT. AND HES FOREVER SEALED IN THE BEATLE'S STORY....AND RIGHTFULLY SO. ALSO..JOHN SAID ON A POST BEATLES INTERVIEW THAT "we were always gonna sack Pete...." GEORGE MARTIN ONCE TOLD BRIAN THAT "I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH PETE ONSTAGE, BUT FOR THE RECORDINGS ILL HAVE ANOTHER DRUMMER ....." ANYWAY....FANTASTIC DOCUMENTARY!
I believe it's Cry For A Shadow. It was done on the session The Beatles backed Tony Sheridan - but without Tony. I believe The Beatles were making fun of Cliff Richard's band, The Shadows. The Fabs' used to imitate The Shadows when they played this song. The Shadows at the time did a bit of goofy choreography when they played.
It's well known, The Beatboys would never have made it with Pete, and they would never have made it without Ringo. Poor old Pete,- living in denial ever since
George Melly's jazz memoir talks about the Cavern and how mystified he was by all these 'Liverpool Mice', as the teenage girl fans were called, going mad over these long haired rockers.
He tried to sue them for unfair dismissal but Brian stuck rigidly to the contract he had with Pete. He paid Pete a wage & offered him work ( which he turned down ) however a small amount was paid to Pete in 1968 . The Band had been dissatisfied with Pete for sometime but were too lazy to do anything about it, but when Brian entered the picture they started to take being professional musicians seriously. George Martins quiet word to them after their first visit to Abbey Rd put the final nail in that already closing coffin.
Randy Zeitman, When Brian Epstein fired Pete as a Beatle he didn't just 'cut him loose'. He offered him a job as a member of the Merseybeats. They were an up-and-coming Liverpool band at that time that Brian had recently signed. They were prepared to fire their current drummer and bring in Pete. Brian also offered to build a new group around Pete. Pete passed on both options choosing a band outside the Epstein stable. Pete did eventually sue Brian and the Beatles for 'breach of contract'. He lost this case for one simple reason; Brian Epstein didn't sign the original management contract. Brian had his assistant Allister sign it, so it didn't hold-up in court. Pete also sued Ringo for libel due to the infamous interview in Playboy Magazine. Ringo implied during an interview that Pete was a "drug addict". Pete did win this case as it was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. The good news for Pete came when the Beatles Anthology came out. It made him a millionaire, he also got to do a cool Carlsberg Lager commercial.
What a blunder that they demolished the original Cavern Club, but not surprising. The same destruction of cultural heritage occurred in many cities during this time.
Hologram Technology will see the greats immortalized, real good holograms to, long after there gone and into future days we will have these bands touring always. Trip on that folks, its true... God Bless Rock n Roll.
This script around certain well-known facts is highly suspect. The Beatles were breaking the jazz roots of the Cavern, which was protested by some at the time. Far from a rock-n-roll club. The togetherness with Pete was someone’s fever dream, not the reality. Fine for the very casual fan perhaps, but not for a knowledgeable fan.
I’m obviously more knowledgable than you, because I know the Cavern was mainly a skiffle club as my uncle played there regularly from the day it opened. Liverpool was nowhere near middle class enough for jazz. A casual fan like you probably never knew that.
@@markstevens1729 I had a feeling you were only ok when you were handing out the snide, superior comments. Does your expertise stretch to acknowledging I was right?
I visited Liverpool in 1984 by car, stayed a few nights in Hotel Mount Pleasant in the center of the city and I went off course to Matthew Street to see the Cavern.As a Beatle fan it was great to be there. I will never forget it. Perhaps one day I will go to Hamburg, who knows. George and John, may they rest in peace.

The Beatles wil always keep the Cavern alive! Even in 100 years the Beatles will still be here and the Cavern too! Just like the classic music from the 1800's! The Beatles will always gather new fans!
I'm glad that the Cavern was rebuilt!
XLNT show. Long May The Cavern Remain. Beatles 4 Ever...
Had to laugh at the bloke at the beginning who said "if the Cavern had been in America, it would have been a shrine." Considering just about every famous venue in America has all been torn down or re-developed.
41:42 That scene hurts too much about what life passing by . R.I.P. John and George and to the rest of people who made Cavern Club being the most famous music club in the world.
truly
Indeed . ..
❣️😢🎶❤️🩹❣️
it's called life. george didnt fear death. john didn't. they both described dying like changing clothes. so why are you...of all people...bitching and moaning?
Well done documentary. Excellent cinematography and editing. The Narrator created a smooth flow and the script was not bad at all. Filmed at the right year to get the remaining fans and witnesses, we can appreciate this celluloid remembrance in 2022 and beyond.
Thank you for this documentary. Relived my youth
Good documentary, thank you for posting 👍
Great documentary. In one sense the Cavern Club lives on; in another sense there's no way to recreate it. The phenomenon in which that venue played such a key role was unique. It's hard for people who were not yet born at that time to grasp the explosive rate of cultural and artistic change. In 1961 the Beatles play their first Cavern gig, in 1963 "Love Me Do" is released, in 1964 they appear on the Ed Sullivan Show, and in 1967 "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is released. Unbelievable.
I absolutely love this heartfelt documentary! Well Done, Lads!
well said
THANK YOU FOR REBUILDING THE CAVERN CLUB 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂🙏💖🎶🥳💥🔥
BEATLES WILL KEEP THE CAVERN CLUB ALIVE FOREVER 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So good ! Thanks ! Fantastic
Yes, in the U.S. the Cavern Club would have been preserved as a National Monument or Historic Site.
I'm afraid the local government Labour Party in the UK has a dreadful record of committing acts of travesty on important landmarks. It's a country-wide issue and the list of wonderful old buildings these crooked people sanctioned to be tore down for the contents of a brown envelope from crooked developers is endless.
If only £500 could have been found at the time, the railway company would have moved the air shaft along & we would still have the original venue. Don’t think it would have passed today’s health & safety regulations though.
Loved this. Very well put together.
Beautifully done.
I feel blessed to have the Fab Four in my life
Me Too very Blessed Magnificent Beatles and songs and Haircuts and Dressing Styles and perfect movements on stage
So many documentaries around on the Cavern, and I've enjoyed every one I've watched. This was one of the best--lots of material and sentimental about it--but what else do you want?
FACTS MATE....WE STILL GOT PAUL ...AND RINGO !💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🎶🎶🔥💥
Great man a, thanks for the upload.
This is well done, interesting rock history.
The new Cavern smells much better than the original.
My mum used to work at the mojo club in sheffield and met them a few times..
In a word - "Fabulous".
That was nice. Pete is nice and so are John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Oh 2 have been there @ the 1st. It was great 2 see & hear the old people from gross 2 like gerry marsden from gerry & the pacemakers etc. The people that were there. What an exciting time 4 music & the Beatles of course. The club was made legendary.
Think You , "LOVE is REAL". Peace and Love.
Best years for Londra whit Beatles
Love it..GODBLESS U ALL GUYS!!
Poor Pete Best. You can see in his eyes that it crushed him, and he never recovered. A cruel cosmic joke. Imagine him seeing them become the biggest phenomenon in the world. And he struggled to survive as a night shift bakery worker. But he can say proudly that he was in the Beatles, and nobody can take that away from him.
Perfectly and touchingly put. At least that anthology album finally made him a millionaire
Many brush greatness, only the talented stay in the light.
@@markstevens1729 Rubbish. Pete was every bit as good a drummer--if not better--than Ringo. He was sacked over petty jealousies, nothing more.
@@Cosmo-Kramer yeah, that’s why Pete is in the “Afterbeats” while Ringo tours the “All Starr Band” with a cast of #1 selling artists.
Yup, Pete, who didn’t get picked up by any other band, is better than Ringo, considered one of the best feel drummers of all time by all the other best drummers in the world. And you, who can’t even come up with an original fake name. Right…
And i can proudly say that Randolph Peter Best was born 24 November 1941 in Madras, India. The same town that gave the world Arnold Dorsey (better know to all as Engelbert Humperdinck) 🎶🎶🎶 ☮️❤🇮🇳
Beautiful.
PETE THE 3 REMAINING BEATLES WANTED YOU OUT MATE BECAUSE AS JOHN LENNON SAID ...HE IS A LOUSY DRUMMER !....AND AS GEORGE HARRISON SAID : RINGO WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE TRUE BEATLES DRUMMER....STILL IS TO THIS DAY .AND THE BEST EVER 💖💖💖💖🎶🎶🎶🎶
Pivotal moment being George Martin telling them , Pete wouldn’t be used for recording.
Freda watched it all r i p
Freda is alive!
38 :09 THIS IS REALLY HARD TO TAKE IN,MAN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏💖🎶BLESS YOU JOHN WHEREVER YOU ARE MATE ! ....I LOVE YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏💖
Long live The Cavern.
This was such a sweet remembrance. Bless.
The ironic thing is that when The Beatles very first played down in The Cavern, they got told, by the owner and the manager of the club at the time, to "Cut out the bloody Rock-'n'-Roll!" Thank God, in hindsight, that they chose not to heed that warning!
I’ve been to the replacement Cavern a few times and watched some really authentic Beatles tribute bands there. Thing is the Cavern now has been in existence far far longer than the original. The layout is the same just more civilised lol!
Yes, nice toilets and AC and good ventilation system!
The reason Pete Best was fired was because it was discovered in recording sessions that Pete could NOT keep the same tempo throughout an entire song. George Martin, the Beatles producer noticed it right away and said that the "Drummer was much good." that was the end of Pete.
It's shocking to think but we'll soon be getting to the stage where all those who saw the Beatles at the Cavern are no longer around. I'm 60 and a Beatles fan but even I'm too young to have went to the Cavern then. I always wonder how long the Beatles can stay popular. But then their stuff still sells even though they split in 1970.
Given the depth and diversity of their catalogue, I believe there will always be something in the Beatles music that people will resonate with. It's true they were a little unfashionable for awhile (mid-70s to 80s or so) when people liked to try and sound 'cool' by saying they were just an overrated boy band (!!). But now their whole catalogue is easily accessible it becomes clear to most that was never the case. It's wonderful to see a whole new generation of young people discovering them and falling in love with them like we did, all over again. Like the classic music of past centuries, I'm sure the Beatles' music will live on for many hundreds of years at least! :-)
Marvelous stuff.
Watch John around 25:20 mocking the guy next to him by showing his front teeth
I like this documentary overall but C'MON, we know why Pete was fired, HE WASN'T THAT GOOD. Ringo fit in perfectly, one of the most influential drummers of all time.
Not a secret at all. Just lazy research.
@@Ragnarokr maybe they were just trying to be kind?
Pete was just as good a drummer as Ringo, if not better. He was sacked solely over petty jealousies. It was a heinous betrayal by JPG&R.
@@Cosmo-Kramer
Oh yes. Look at all those great bands Pete Best played with after he was sacked.
@@joeblaumer2085 What the hell's THAT got to do with anything??!! Had Ringo not gotten the Beatles job, he never would've made a name for himself outside of Liverpool and Hamburg. He's said in interviews that his band, Rory Storm and The Hurricanes, were going nowhere, and he was already preparing to get a regular job before he was asked to replace Pete.
Imagine having a brick or two of that Cavern. You cannot prove it but you know it is real.
I believe 500 were sold off that came with a certificate of authenticity. They come up occasionally on eBay, not overly expensive.
If the other three were so jealous of Pete as some have claimed then it wouldn't have worked to keep him in the band. They needed good chemistry between them to be successful.
Rumours went round about Paul being jealous but history has shown in was George who fought to get Pete removed. Once George Martin said he wouldn’t use Pete in the Studio ( due to bad time keeping ) they had to find someone else & why not use the guy who sat in for Pete when he couldn’t make gigs.
The music industry is ruthless. Pete should honestly just be happy he has his fame as an almost Beatle.
Ringo had charm, consistently great drumming talent, cute sad puppy looks, and was hilarious. He fit in with the Fabs perfectly and Pete didn’t. Sorry Pete, they can’t be loyal-they wanted to be toppermost of the poppermost.
@@thesilvershining I have a feeling that Pete came thru it all, made peace with something pretty difficult and is alright. Post-Anthology, I understand he made a few pounds for his early-sixties effort.
I am sure I read it was George Martin was the man behind the sacking of Pete Best.He had brought in a session drummer on an earlier recording and advised Brian Epstein that Pete wasn't good enough.Paul made sure Pete received royalties for all recordings he was on.
It was Ringo who was replaced for the Love. Me Do single. Pete has been kicked out by then.
@@blueheart1946 Ringo is on the LMD single. Ron Richards is the man who decided Pete’s time keeping wasn’t good enough to record & booked session drummer Andy White. After the session with Pete, George Martin told the other three that he wouldn’t use Pete on records but never said Pete had to go. George Harrison pushed the others to get Ringo in.
There is no mystery, Pete was just not a very good drummer! After playing all of those hundreds and hundreds of shows he never improved, and the others left him far behind in skill level. They knew someone who was much better and grabbed him up! And Pete was well taken care of financially by the Beatles. He received a VERY handsome sum for the Anthology series. And they didn't have to do that.
That sums it up . Pete did get a small pay out in 1968 after a long legal battle, it looks like it was to shut him up because Brian took care of Pete after his dismissal. It didn’t help that Ringo sat in for Pete 4 times before he was asked to join, they knew how good Richie was.
Too bad for Pete but realistically, he was a lousy drummer compared to Ringo.
Stop callng Pete lousy. He was not. Ringo was better and was the jigsaw that fitted. . But give some credence to Peter
@@topcatcoolio8807 John called Pete Lousy.
I know Pete , I have met him and worked with him at conventions . Pete is a very nice guy , but I have watched him play the drums , he is not very good .That is why Pete has his half brother , play drums next to him on stage .
Wow great
Do the Cavern steps lead under the street above? I guess I didn't understand how it was turned into a parking lot ,but now the new entrance is a couple of doors down from the old. It's a building, not a parking lot. Confusing, but glad some of it is still accessible.
From looking at the original plans, you went in the door & down a small set of steps which then turned right which took you down into
the club . The main part of the club stretched out to the left ( looking at the main entrance) so the club was under the few buildings to the
left of the entrance. When those buildings were knocked down they also filled in the cellar’s below hence the car park on top of where the
Club had been . The Original entrance is sill there & is the fire escape for the new Cavern, so a small part of the original cellar is still there.
( seen in this documentary)
FROM BEING A JAZZ CLUB ,IT BECAME A ROCK AND ROLL CAVERN CLUB ONCE THE BEATLES TOOK THE STAGE 💖💖💖💖💖🐐🐐🐐🐐🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
If the original was undamaged by the railway renovation, why not dig down? Put a stairway in the parking lot going down to it. The carpark can remain except for maybe 2 spots for the stairway down. The outside is unimportant. Its where The Beatles et al actually played that counts.
The original entrance is still there .
That is what is so sad about the whole thing as they never DID build that underground railway (I don't know what the reason was for not building it), but the original Cavern was basically filled in and buried.
Excuse me FREDA was more than a fan> Hey! mister can we hav our fan club LADY! CEO back.
I thought the same thing, but when later in the video under Freda's name, she is given credit that she was their Fan Club secretary. For anyone reading this there is a whole video on Freda Kelly called "GOOD OL' FREDA" which is EXCELLENT. She toured the states when the video came out and it was shown in movie theaters when she was there. She did a question and answer session after the film was shown. Got to meet her 3 times when she was here in Cleveland and speak with her for awhile each time. Lovely lady and around my age (2 years older than I am) I could sit and chat with her for hours. "GOOD OL' FREDA" can be found here on You Tube.
THIS IS LIVERPOOL,THIS IS WHAT WE DO !....WHAT A PHRASE !💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
les habitants sont habités par une Grande Histoire ... on le sent quand on rencontre ce peuple de Liverpool... 🐸🐸 Didier from France
Pete Best made a lot of money. Like John said he wasn't a very good drummer. George Martin was the first top pick up on it and booked a session drummer to record the first record
Bert Kempfort was the first to pick up on it & even took Pete’s Bass drum away to stop him speeding up at the Tony Sheridan sessions.
Pete Best FINALLY made a lot of money when THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY came out in 1995, and in VOL.1 they used recordings where Pete was STILL their drummer, so he got royalties from that, which I totally feel he deserved. He was a Beatle for 2 years and went through the development and hard years with them, and was fired just before they got their recording contract. So I was happy that he finally cut a cut of what he was due. I have met him 4 times and he is a sweet guy, and he's also VERY funny, in a quiet way. He is happy with his life, has a great family and a lot of fans today.
As big of a Beatle fan I've been since the age of 13. I could never understand why it took so long for the other three to give Pete his due with money. It took 30 years for them to make it right and then only because he was on the Anthology releases. I alway thought Pete wasn't given the respect he deserved. He helped them in rather a big way for their way forward. Just saying.
He was given exactly the respect he deserved, as a failure class legend that dined out on his failure for decades.
What were they supposed to do, pay him for shows he didnt play and albums/songs he didnt play on? He played drums in a bar band, when that bar band wanted to move on to recording music, he wasnt good enough. Nobody every said he wasnt an adequate drummer for a bar band and as an adequate drummer for a bar band he got the respect he deserved.
Pete sucked, then, now.
What money was he due? I never understood The Beatles to be a benevolent charity. He had already let them down on four occasions under professional recording conditions and really was not good enough. Perhaps had he practised a lot more, rather than concentrating on his private life, he may have been a much better drummer.
@@apollomemories7399 Well said. He was due the charity tithes he and all failure class expect as their right. The OP is obviously a simpy emoturd. It's a common argument amongst the most common.
I was there when The Beatles played The Cavern... I wish.
Someone really cleaned those Hamburg recordings up. Some of those Star Club recordings. They must have done it digitally.
Right?
‘The Beatles’ is a good pun actually.
I thought Lennon died on Dec 8th, in this video they say Dec 9th. Could it be that he died on the 8th in New York but in England was already Dec 9th? 🤔 Anyhow..GREAT Video 👍
Yes, Lennon died later in the day, so naturally it was already the next day in Britain.
Number Nine.
@@Ragnarokr thanks! yes that's true.. time difference :)
Officially pronounced dead at 11.15 pm on the 8th US time, which is 4.15 am on the 9th UK time, with New York always 5 hours behind. Records are always based on local time where the death actually took place. The time of day anywhere else is irrelevant.
@@apollomemories7399 We know that. The point was he was a British citizen and the number NINE was RELEVANT. Of course he passed away in the US on the 8th, but it was the 9th in the UK where he was born ( 10/NINE)1940.
This a good documentary, but curiously absent from any discussion is Stuart Sutcliffe.
Thank you. He never played the Cavern,though. But he still should have been mentioned.
It's a no brainer.
Stuart quit before the Beatles started playing the Cavern. He stayed in Germany when the band left.
@@apollomemories7399 prove it. There's no proof other than dates. He did NOT play the Cavern. He may have been in Liverpool for maybe two weeks, but returned to Hamburg and passed away there. WRONG again.
@@idfy2599 I'll give you that. I'd misread my notes. They say met at Cavern and socialised a couple of times, not played a couple of times. But he was there, so to speak.
I will delete my posts.
Pete Best gave him "his best" and didn't John say that the "best playing was never recorded"? wasn't Pete playing the drums with them? I feel for Pete, but he showed that he has character and "life goes on"
ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE ORIGONAL FLOOR PLAN OF THE CAVERN WAS? WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGONAL STAGE WAS ACTUALLY WHERE THE "NERW " STAGE IS IN THE BACK. DUNNO..... : (
The REPLICA Cavern is across the street from the original Cavern. I was in the original Cavern on Aug. 30, 1968 and again in July of 1972, when I was visiting Liverpool (in '68 to meet my pen-pal of 3 years and stay with his family for 5 weeks....I am from Ohio...and then the '72 visit was a year after my pen-pal and I were married in '71) We returned to England and Liverpool for a delayed honeymoon through out the southwest and central parts of England and then back up to Liverpool to spend 3 more weeks with my then husband's family. That last time I was there in Liverpool was when we returned in 1984 with our 3 children so they could meet the Liverpool side of their Dad's family. It was a GREAT time. I guess the "New" Cavern hadn't opened yet when we were there, because we did return to Mathew Street with the kids, and didn't see it.
@@patticrichton1135do you mean the cavern club that’s open now or another one ?
Billy ,but we still have Richie.
I DONT FEEL SORRY FOR PETE BEST. LIKE GEORGE ONCE SAID...IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO B RINGO....HE JUST HADNT ENTERED THE FILM YET..... PETE BANKED TO THE TUNE OF SEVERAL MILLION $$$$$$ WHEN THE ANTHOLOGY CAME OUT. AND HES FOREVER SEALED IN THE BEATLE'S STORY....AND RIGHTFULLY SO. ALSO..JOHN SAID ON A POST BEATLES INTERVIEW THAT "we were always gonna sack Pete...." GEORGE MARTIN ONCE TOLD BRIAN THAT "I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH PETE ONSTAGE, BUT FOR THE RECORDINGS ILL HAVE ANOTHER DRUMMER ....."
ANYWAY....FANTASTIC DOCUMENTARY!
Fantastic film. Can anyone identify the instrumental track that begins at 1:20?
I believe it's Cry For A Shadow. It was done on the session The Beatles backed Tony Sheridan - but without Tony. I believe The Beatles were making fun of Cliff Richard's band, The Shadows. The Fabs' used to imitate The Shadows when they played this song. The Shadows at the time did a bit of goofy choreography when they played.
@jameycarothers4721 Yes, found it! Love it, thanks!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's well known,
The Beatboys would never have made it with Pete, and they would never have made it without Ringo.
Poor old Pete,- living in denial ever since
Totally agree.
It wasn't just the music, it was the trousers. They copied those from The Rutles.
Nothing left to the imagination.
@@thekitowl Rowrrrrr
Wow.
34:23...Jimmy Saville stalking the women.
The Star Club, Hamburg was the making of the Beatles, not The Cavern!
Well in a way, yes, it was where they really honed their craft. But they played the Cavern before they went to Hamburg.
Yes they good good at the Kaiserkeller, Top Ten and Star Clubs. Tony Sheridan was their mentor.
Hello all you cavern dwellers welcome to the best of cellars!
George Melly's jazz memoir talks about the Cavern and how mystified he was by all these 'Liverpool Mice', as the teenage girl fans were called, going mad over these long haired rockers.
FAB
Curious to know why Pete didn't demand a piece of the band for two years - equal to the time he invested to get there where they needed to be.
He tried to sue them for unfair dismissal but Brian stuck rigidly to the contract he had with Pete. He paid Pete a wage & offered him work
( which he turned down ) however a small amount was paid to Pete in 1968 . The Band had been dissatisfied with Pete for sometime but were too lazy to do anything about it, but when Brian entered the picture they started to take being professional musicians seriously. George Martins quiet word to them after their first visit to Abbey Rd put the final nail in that already closing coffin.
Randy Zeitman, When Brian Epstein fired Pete as a Beatle he didn't just 'cut him loose'. He offered him a job as a member of the Merseybeats. They were an up-and-coming Liverpool band at that time that Brian had recently signed. They were prepared to fire their current drummer and bring in Pete. Brian also offered to build a new group around Pete. Pete passed on both options choosing a band outside the Epstein stable. Pete did eventually sue Brian and the Beatles for 'breach of contract'. He lost this case for one simple reason; Brian Epstein didn't sign the original management contract. Brian had his assistant Allister sign it, so it didn't hold-up in court. Pete also sued Ringo for libel due to the infamous interview in Playboy Magazine. Ringo implied during an interview that Pete was a "drug addict". Pete did win this case as it was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. The good news for Pete came when the Beatles Anthology came out. It made him a millionaire, he also got to do a cool Carlsberg Lager commercial.
What a blunder that they demolished the original Cavern Club, but not surprising. The same destruction of cultural heritage occurred in many cities during this time.
Hologram Technology will see the greats immortalized, real good holograms to, long after there gone and into future days we will have these bands touring always. Trip on that folks, its true... God Bless Rock n Roll.
It’s already started .
Also,Brian wasn't his cool,calm,collected self.......
Did The Who ever open for The Beatles?
Wonder how the members of Liverpool Council feel about tearing down the original Caver club do . Obviously not music lovers
alguien lo puede subtitular..plis
00:30 what’s that song?
After Ringo joined the beatles, pete should have joined rory storme and make them a really great band.
This script around certain well-known facts is highly suspect. The Beatles were breaking the jazz roots of the Cavern, which was protested by some at the time. Far from a rock-n-roll club. The togetherness with Pete was someone’s fever dream, not the reality.
Fine for the very casual fan perhaps, but not for a knowledgeable fan.
I’m obviously more knowledgable than you, because I know the Cavern was mainly a skiffle club as my uncle played there regularly from the day it opened. Liverpool was nowhere near middle class enough for jazz. A casual fan like you probably never knew that.
@@annoyingbstard9407 well, you got the user name right. Likely not much else.
@@markstevens1729 I had a feeling you were only ok when you were handing out the snide, superior comments. Does your expertise stretch to acknowledging I was right?
Only in Britain would they knock down one of the most significant nightclubs in the world, and turn it into a car park.
The Railway would have moved their air shaft for £500 but no one bothered to finance it. £500 was probably quite a lot of money back then.
The Iron Door was the real deal, but The Cavern was better for the myth.
They used the bricks from the old Cavern to build the new one? What a load of shite. Some people don't know what they are talking about.
Simply ludicrous. These people...
They may have used a few but many were sold off with a certificate ( bought one for my son )
Pete no tenía pelo Beatle , eso fue determinante.
