On March 12 and 13, 1963, The Beatles played in Bedford and York respectively, without John, who was suffering from a bad head cold. Has anyone ever seen any pictures of these performances? I don't ever recall seeing pictures of just the three of them on stage.


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

Oops, sorry. 1963.

You'd feel cheated though wouldn't you? No one mocking the disabled! It just wouldn't be The Beatles.

They probably got Neil to stand in for him.

It mentioned it in the Anthology, but I think it would've showed pictures if they'd existed. So probably not.

I've seen pictures of Mal Evans standing in for George during a rehearsal.

You're sure it wasn't Neil Aspinall for the Ed Sullivan Show rehearsals?

I'm sure I remember him being short and stocky. I'll look it up in the book when I get a minute.

Haha, I have a great picture of Neil standing up at the microphone yelling at the crowd to send the cameramen away. John thought he looked like Hitler mid-rally...I must agree, he looks pretty insane as it was very windy and his hair is everywhere...

Bump for this one. I can't imagine that happening!

I love Paul,

I think it would be great! I mean, not that John wasn't there, but it would so obviously not be the Beatles. I can imagine the rest of them cutting up and making a huge jokes all through the performance-- perhaps deliberately butchering songs. It would have been hilarious! (Or so my imagination tells me...)

Did Mal and Neil know the guitar parts for the songs? Or did they just stand up there just to give the band 4 people?
