The Beatles - Live at the Star Club bootleg, 1962

'nuff said. Far from being contingent to the obligatory Beatles pop worship, this stands alone as a document of what many consider to be, possibly, the only decent rock n' roll group to have emerged from the UK. What else did we have, the tamed sounds of Cliff Richard's sub-Elvis efforts? The fact is British rock n' roll was always a poor imitation of the vitality and energy of the American originals...
And it is, aptly, the Beatles who would push the UK onto the world stage with beat music, a harmony-laden pop fuelled by the American rock n' roll/R&B heroes of the previous decade and skiffle from the UK.

What amazes me though is that anybody had the foresight/equipment to have recorded this set. There is nothing wrong with the sound bar the vocals being a little distant, as they would have been anyhow, heard from the back of a room through a comparatively primitive PA. But they still go hell for leather. Tight as a drum and the most impressive part is easily George's guitar work, which is much less subdued playing this kind of music. There are only a couple of Lennon/Macca originals to be heard, and these are predictably the rockiest ones

Haha, no worries. As long as it gets enjoyed, it doesn't matter when.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

yes i do . it is in 128 which is pretty annoying, but depending on how much you value it that site also has it in FLAC somewheres. personally i dont think i can be bothered to spend fifty hours downloading it and converting it to HQ mp3 with Winamp.
there was this 'top 101 Beatles songs' list thing that Mojo magazine did years ago I have been trying to track down to no avail, and what was special about THAT was that they got musicians to do vox pops for each entry - Billy Childish chose a Star Club track. I believe they also had Ozzy Osbourne doing 'In My Life', Wayne Coyne 'strawberry fields'... forgot the rest
