I used to love playing that when I was a kid. But as I grew into an adult I progressed to the real thing. Pitch and Putt!!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

The Beatles in Hamburg: they played night after night, right?

I only know they played every night at The Kaiserkeller on their first visit. I imaginr that by the time they'd worked their way up to The Star Club, they might have had a night off now and then. But somehow I doubt it.

According to Lewisohn they did play every night. In the Indra Club they played for 5.5 hours a night. Later on, in the Kaiserkeller, they were joined on the bill by Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Can I say they played for four hours each?

Four hours each sounds about right to me.

Alright, I started counting!  

In 1960 alone, Pete spent approximately 500 hours on stage with the Beatles. Now, Ringo played with the Beatles from August 1962 till the very end, but he did a lot of (not even) 30 minutes shows. He has to put 1,000 shows against Pete's 1960 performances alone. But I will keep on counting.

In fact Ringo would have to play 15 gigs in 1964 to match one night of Pete's in Germany.

I'm reading Paul's biography now. According to Barry Miles, yes, the Beatles did play 4 hours/night at the Kaiserkeller. He even gives the set times. Cheers!

I guessed that right. And according to Mark Lewisohn they played every night. So, does anybody think that Ringo can beat that?

Um, do we get to count the times that Ringo played with them in Hamburg, either the 1 or 2 times Pete couldn't make it, or just clowning around? That would make Ringo only a million and eight hours behind Pete instead of a million sixteen...

Ringo played with the Beatles in Hamburg at the Star Club. Long nights too, but not as long as two years earlier with Pete Best. Plus they were only there for a week or so. Two weeks maybe, have to check that.

So, you thought we'd all forget about it, did you?
