When did the Beatles first put Ringo on a riser?
« on: November 12, 2008, 08:15:23 PM »

Hi All - Posted on another forum, but no one could supply an answer there ... thought I might try here.

Does anyone know when Ringo started playing on a riser? Any Cavern pics where he's off the floor? Was it in early Beatlemania? Or did it start on the Ed Sullivan show?

Inquiring (and apparently idle!) minds want to know ... thanks  :)

Ahh, thanks, pc31. I wonder if this was the Liverpool/Hamburg fashion, to have the drummer on a riser?

Because I have read that this wasn't generally popular to do with the drummer until after Ringo.

He was not on a riser in his first appearance with the Beatles at the Cavern Club (August 22, 1962) or at the Tower Ballroom (October 12, 1962)

He's on a riser at the Star Club in Hamburg (November, 1962).  That was the first time he was photographed on a riser with the Beatles.
