[i]On February 9th, 1961- The Beatles made their debut at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. The group already had a following in the dank nightclubs of Hamburg, Germany, but they had difficulty getting a booking at the popular basement club in their hometown. Mona Best, the mother of then-drummer Pete Best, had to beg the club's booker Ray McFall to secure the band even a lunchtime slot.[/i]

Unfortunately there is no video available as John's iPhone got left in the van that night.
