What was there first big gig?
well they started their whole.. band.. as in the beatles (paul, john, george, and ringo) were all together as a band in 1960. They played at the Cavern Club in Hamburg Germany until late 1962 when Brian Epstein found them and asked them personally if he could be their manager. They were really uneasy about it but eventually they said yes. then Brian went to Decca records numerous times and had them audition and the were never accepted throwing them out with, and i quote, "Rock and Roll is on it’s way out" so then brian started to get very frustraited and the fact that George Martin was always "in a meeting" didn’t make him much happier. it was said that epstein once got so mad that he threatened EMI studios if they didn’t start making progress with the beatles. So in June 1962 they went in for what they thought was going to be their first recording but turned out to actually be another audition but this time for George Martin. And this was at abbey road. George felt he had little to loose and was charmed by their humor and charisma so he let them in. then October 1962 they recorded Love Me Do and the world Fell in love with them….

They were discovered in Liverpool, playing in the Cavern Club and straight after that did some touring round Europe, like Amsterdam and came back to England to tour. They constantly rose in fame and in America shot right up.
I’m listening to the Beatles right now..

Their first big hit record ("Love Me Do") hit the British Top 40 charts in 1963. The first most Americans heard of them was when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964.
The rest, as they say, is history…….

Their first big gig was at the London Palladium in 1963. The Beatles themselves considered this to be a giant step into the spotlight.
