En vivo: Grafton Rooms, Liverpool

The Beatles performed in Liverpool on this evening for the first time in 1963, with a show at the Grafton Rooms, West Derby Road. It was the group’s second engagement at the venue. The concert garnered record-breaking attendance figures, with a large turnout for the group following their Scottish tour.According to Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, 100 tickets were stolen before the show, but were numbered and so could be declared invalid.
