Concert: Odeon Cinema, Angel Row, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
"Police Officer Peter Gibson of the Nottingham City Police Force was assigned to guard the Beatles dressing room. He retired in 1990 after 35 years service to the force. He chatted about that day:
"Many of my colleagues were on the street holding back the crowd, but I got the job of being on their door. The band passed by me every now and then while they were walking the corridors. They were very talkative young guys."
Discussing the atmosphere inside the theatre, Peter said, "The crowd was getting hysterical, especially the young girls. The noise was extremely loud."
Other eye witness accounts suggest than many fans had to lie down due to exhaustion brought on by screaming.
Peter also confirmed where the band went, initially, after the show:
"The lads came for a couple of drinks in the police bar at my station on Shakespeare Street. In those days all police stations had private bars. Those lads must have been totally exhausted after everything they had just gone through. They sat in the corner in comfy chairs while they relaxed, had a drink and a smoke. They just chatted amongst themselves basically. They were as good as gold.""

"As for the Beatles at the Odeon. I saw them when they were ostensibly supporting the Big O but of course they were huge by the time the concert came on. It was a great night that ended in tears.
At the beginning of the night many of us handed in autograph books and albums at the box office hoping for autographs. This was customary! At the end of the show hundreds of us crowded round the back of the Odean shouting for them to show themselves. You can imagine the screams when they all came out through a door on top of the fire escape and waved. Then the bad thing happened.
John put a huge pile of books and albums onto the railing and then threw them down to us. All the precious albums were torn to pieces by the crowd and many girls were distraught at losing their books, some of them with many autographs. The fab four thought it was very funny and went back inside laughing, leaving scenes of mayhem below. I`ve been a bit ambivalent about them since."

"A blue page from an autograph book that has been signed by both John Lennon and Paul McCartney in a blue pen. Paul has added 'To Susan' above his signature and 'Beatles' below it. The page has a black and white head shot cut out from a music paper of both John and Paul stuck onto it. Measures 11cm x 9.5cm (4.25 inches x 3.75 inches). Comes with a detailed letter from the original recipient stating the autographs were obtained out side the Nottingham Odeon in May 1963. (The Beatles played the Odeon on the 23rd May 1963)"

"AUTOGRAPH BOOK SIGNED BY THE BEATLES DURING THE ROY ORBISON UK TOUR .... WITH RARE McCARTNEY HANDWRITTEN LYRIC LINE!
On Saturday, May 18, 1963, The Beatles embarked on their third nationwide tour of Britain, supporting American singer-songwriter and rock pioneer Roy Orbison. Though Orbison began the tour as headliner, audience demand quickly necessitated a change in billing and The Beatles assumed the top spot. By the time the tour ended on
(sun)June 9, 1963, the band had played twenty dates with Orbison, who The Beatles idolized immensely.
On the sixth night of the tour -
‡(thu)May 23, 1963 - they played the Odeon Cinema on Angel Row in Nottingham. A page from this autograph book, still intact, was fully signed by all four Beatles that evening. While they signed numerous autograph books for fans in 1963, few have exhibited the kind of content showcased here.
Paul McCartney has written "Beatles" at the top, followed by the inscription: "To Sandra, with love, from me to you ... Paul McCartney XXX." Beneath his signature, he has added the word "BASS" as a reminder of his role in this up-and-coming group. George has signed "George Harrison XXX", adding the words "Lean Guitar XXX", writing "Lean" instead of "Lead" perhaps as a word play on his physical stature. John has written "John Lennon (a Friend) XXX" and Ringo has signed "Ringo Starr XXX".
McCartney's inscription "with love, from me to you" was an obvious reference to the McCartney-Lennon penned hit "From Me To You" which had been released as a Parlophone single in England just six weeks earlier, on
(thu)April 11, 1963. "From Me To You" was the first Beatles song to reach number one in Britain and it would be the first of eleven consecutive British number one singles by the group.
Beatles handwritten inscriptions that borrow lyric lines from their songs are very rare indeed and any additional writing (such as Paul and George noting the instruments they played or John's "heartwarming" addendum) add enormously to the appeal and value of a set. Considering the astronomical prices Beatles handwritten song manuscripts are fetching at auction, this set enables you to acquire a McCartney handwritten lyric line at a small fraction of the price of a full lyric page.
The signed page, which is pink in color, measures 4 ?" x 4". All four have signed this page in various ballpoint pens. Paul has used a dark blue ink, George and Ringo have used a lighter blue ink, while John has signed in black ink.
Part of the beauty of this autograph book is that it remains just as it has been for the past 45 years - completely intact and, consequently, a very special complete memento of a fan's quest to secure the signatures of her idols. There are no other notable autographs in the book.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special Beatles autograph set - and the closest most collectors will ever get to possessing handwritten song lyrics. Signed album pages just don't get any better than this...$15,000"

Concert: Elizabethan Ballroom, Co-operative House, Parliament Street, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
"Imagine the scene if you will: the venue is the Elizabethan Ballroom, the date is Thursday March 7th 1963 and the occasion is the first time the Beatles played in Nottingham. The Elizabethan Ballroom was situated above Co-operative House on Parliament Street, Nottingham. This concert was called the Mersey Beat Showcase and was organized by the Beatles manager Brian Epstein. It took its name from the Liverpool newspaper of the same name and its editor, Bill Harry, was personally asked by Mr. Epstein for permission to use the name. There were six Mersey Beat Showcase concerts held around the country on various dates, but Nottingham, coincidentally, was where the first took place. The night consisted of an all Liverpudlian line-up, both on stage and beyond. Groups on the bill included Gerry & the Pacemakers, the Big Three, Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, and last but not least, the Beatles. To keep in line with the Liverpool theme, Bob Wooler, the Cavern Club disc jockey, compeered the event. A substantial turnout to the gig was expected that night as all the acts performing were increasing in popularity around this time. A big crowd was guaranteed, in fact, as NEMS Enterprises organized two coaches to transport eighty fans from Liverpool to Nottingham to watch the gig for the sum of ￡1.50 each. Regular tickets were priced at six shillings and six pence - not a bad price to personally witness groups that would go on to set the standard for a generation of music lovers. Even though the Beatles had already broken through into the charts and gone to Number One with 'Please Please Me', they were still mucking in and helping to unload and set up their own equipment. They certainly had no time to let their flourishing fame go to their heads. In the audience that night was local lad Rob Taylor, then in his twenties. He reminisced about enjoying the show, but it was an event afterwards that stands out in his mind above everything else: "When the show had ended I nipped off quickly to the loo before me and my mates left for home. After a while wandering around, I realized I was lost. One of the doors I randomly tried led into a sitting area where I could see some people chatting. When they heard the door open they turned around and I could see that it was the Beatles. It could have been very awkward, me walking in on them like that, but they were very nice about it. They directed me to the toilet and I went on my way." If this was not enough of a memory to cherish of the night, Mr.Taylor also told me of a promise of autographs he made to his friend's niece: "She asked me to collect the Beatles autographs for her. Basically, I faked them. I didn't think they were going to become as famous as they did so I didn't think there was any harm in it. I was wrong on both counts." The Elizabethan Ballroom, as the rest of Co-operative House, has been vacant since the late 1990s. It is currently awaiting redevelopment."

"Do you remember １９６３？
Most people who can would rather not, writes Nigel Kirk. It wasn't a good year, the news was consistently bad and the Cold War was at its coldest, as was the weather. It was the worst winter for 200 years with months on end of ice and snow and even colder than in 1947. One Nottingham lady I met recently has a good reason to remember this bleak winter. Kathleen, or Kate to her friends, was a 20-year-old Beeston girl in 1963 and on
(thu), March 7 saw The Beatles up close at the first of the band's four visits to Nottingham. What's more, she got them to sign their autographs for her album. The autographs go under the hammer at Mellors & Kirk on
(fri)October 4, and are estimated at ￡1,000 to 1,500. The postcard-sized leaf is signed "Love from John Lennon XXX" and "George Harrison X". Theirs are the most highly prized Beatles signatures - for the obvious reason there will be no more, but also because the piece dates from the early years, the height of Beatlemania.
Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers fame has also signed the same piece. The Nottingham event was the first of manager Brian Epstein's six 'Mersey Beat Showcase' concerts at different venues, which also featured Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas, the Big Three and Cilla Black.
Recently Mellors & Kirk sold all four Beatles signatures obtained by a former worker at the Old England Inn on the A1 where the band stopped en route for a late night supper. She nipped out of the kitchen and got their signatures on a scrap of paper, for which we obtained ￡2,500 from an American collector. Beatles memorabilia commands high prices at auction as people want to own something directly connected with the most influential pop musicians in living memory. Ringo's own copy of the Parlophone Beatles album of 1968 sold for $790,000 in 2015, and a Sergeant Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band LP signed by the Beatles sold at auction for the equivalent of ￡190,000 in 2013. That sort of money would have been unthought of in March 1963 when the band had to unload their own equipment from a van when they arrived at the Nottingham venue, the Elizabethan Ballroom on the top floor of the Co-Op in Upper Parliament Street. Amazingly, on the night the room was apparently only half full. It was to be a very different story on The Beatles' three other visits to Nottingham later in 1963 and early 1964. On
‡(thu)May 23 in 1963 they were at the Odeon sharing the billing with Roy Orbison, and on
(thu)December 12 that year returned to a tumultuous reception from thousands of ecstatic young fans. All police leave in the city was cancelled and a fleet of ambulances were put on standby. The Fab Four also visited the city on
(thu)November 05, 1964.
Kate has treasured her memento of that historic night for 54 years, but isn't sad to part with it because somebody else will treasure it. It goes to show that its often the objects acquired without the least thought for future profit that turn out to be the best investments. John, Paul, George and Ringo have attained a sort of immortality that only artists with something unique can. There is something so new and appealing yet sweet and sentimental about the lyrics and music which changed the way a new, post-war generation of baby boomers woke up to music. And didn't they look great, those four nice ordinary boys from Liverpool, apparently so similar but very different personalities, full of charisma and talent? That's why the young and the young at heart really got 'Beatlemania'. Liverpool, The Beatles' spiritual home is a place of pilgrimage with visitors heading for the Cavern Club and the childhood homes of Lennon and McCartney, both of which are now owned by the National Trust, which describes the latter property as "a small house with huge musical significance". When John Lennon and Paul McCartney dreamt up "Ticket to Ride" they can hardly have thought it would be to their own childhood homes! It is extraordinary how each generation discovers The Beatles and 'Beatles heritage' is big business because the songs seem timeless, appealing to young and old alike. The buyer of Kate's album is just as likely to be a Beatle maniac who always wanted their autographs as what is usually thought of as a collector, which makes these particularly unusual 'collectable'."

1960(昭和35)年05月22日(日)はオフだったが翌23日にはアバディーン州のフレイザーバラにあるダルリンプル･ホール (Dalrymple Hall) で公演する。会場のダルリンプル･ホールへ向かう途中、運転手のゲリー･スコット (Gerry Scott) はジョニー･ジェントルに運転を代わってくれと頼む。ところがジェントルはその小型ヴァンを他の車にぶつけてしまう。その衝撃でドラマーのトミー･ムーア (Tommy Moore) に楽器が崩れ落ち、彼は脳しんとうを起こして歯も抜ける。ムーアは病院で手当を受けていたが、ジョン･レノンとダルリンプル･ホールのプロモーターがやって来て、彼を会場に連れて行った。多量に鎮静剤を投与されたムーアは一応問題なく演奏したが、自分がどこにいるのかわからなかった。
ポール･マッカートニー ⇒ 僕らはあのツアーでスコットランドを巡り、例えばフレイザーバラの教会ホールで演奏したけど、悪くはない出来だったよ。僕らはプロなんだと実感できて、それはよかったよ。でも僕らは「金が届いてない」とラリー･パーンズ (Larry Parnes) の事務所にくり返し苦情の電話を入れてたんだ。数年後に僕がこの事をラジオ番組でしゃべったら、ラリーは僕を訴えると脅してきた。彼のおばちゃんが「ラリー、あなたビートルの子たちにお金を払わなかったの」とやかましく追求して来たんだ。あれはホント彼の経歴の汚点だったね。

1960(昭和35)年05月23日(月) アバディーンシャー州フレーザーバラにあるダルリンブル・ホールにてコンサート。これはシルヴァー・ビートルズがバックバンドとして同行したジョニー・ジェントルのスコットランド・ツアーの3日目。このツアーは屈辱的な内容で、ジョニー・ジェントル共々プライドを傷つける最低の扱いだった。
1961(昭和36)年05月23日(火) 2度の契約更新の後、2度目のハンブルグ巡業が4月1日より7月1日まで行われ、92日間、のべ503時間トップ・テン・クラブのステージに立つ。前回の最初のハンブルグ巡業と並んで、ビートルズのスタミナと実力を飛躍的に向上させた有意義な巡業となった。
1962(昭和37)年05月23日(水) 3度目のハンブルグ巡業35日目。出演場所はオープンしたばかりのロック専門「スター・クラブ」。1時間演奏して1時間休憩というローテーションで3～4時間演奏した。今回は7週間の巡業で、そのうち2週間はジーン・ビンセントが競演した。
1963(昭和38)年05月23日(木) 2月、3月に続いてなんとこの年3回目の全英ツアーが開始された。この日は5日目でノッティンガムのオデオン・シネマが会場。ロイ・オービソンとのパッケージツアーで、ヘッド・ライナーはもちろんビートルズのメンバーの敬愛するロイであったが、観客の要望でまもなくビートルズがメインを務めることになる。さらに会場で販売されているプログラムの表紙もビートルズをメインとしたデザインに変更されることとなる。セットリスト、、、「Some Other Guy」「Do You Want To Know A Secret」「Love Me Do」「From Me To You」「Please Please Me」「I Saw Her Standing There」「Twist And Shout」

These are probably the earliest "performance" photos of any of The Beatles.
I'm making three assumptions here -
‡1. These photos pre-date the ●(thu)23 May 1957 photo seen in the next section because Ringo looks a bit younger here.
2. This is Wilson Hall based on the rectanular designs on the wall.
3. That the photo to the right is the same date.
At this time, I cannot verify any of these theories.
See an article about this band by Bill Harry - here
The personnel in this line-up is different to that seen in the next section.
There appears to be an additional member and other members seem to
be on different instruments. Can anyone clarify this?
See the next section for a list of the five member line-up.
