This Day in Rock History – August 29th

An important day in Beatles history…

1959: Down to just two members (John Lennon & Paul McCartney), the Quarrymen are asked to be a last minute replacement for the Les Stewart Quartet (who have broken up) at Liverpool’s Casbah Club.

One member of the Les Stewart Quartet agrees to sit in with Lennon & McCartney on the date. He is also a friend of Paul’s and goes by the name of George Harrison. The group still lacks a drummer.

1966: Seven years later to the day, the Beatles play their final live gig before a paying audience as they complete their second American tour with a show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park. The last song they play is “Long Tall Sally.”
