This Day in Rock History – August 17th

1960: This is the day the Beatles first performed in Germany, starting the first of 48 dates at the Indra Club in Hamburg, It’s also the first time the group appears under the name "The Beatles.”

The boys are required to play four hours on weekday nights and six hours shows on weekends. The club owner also encourages them to be outlandish on stage, leading John Lennon to perform once in his underwear and once with a toilet seat around his neck.

While the conditions were less than ideal, the group credits their stints in Germany with turning them into a first rate rock group.
