It is the summer of 1960, and the vibe in the Indra music club in Hamburg is uninspired. Five unknown young men from England are on stage. It is their first gig and the few guests who have strayed into the pub are not very impressed. None of them suspect that they are witnessing music history.<\/p>\n

On that evening of the 17th of August, The Beatles gave their first concert. Instead of Ringo Star, the founding members Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe played alongside John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. This first concert in Indra was the start of their two year stay in the Hanseatic city. The club\u2019s owner, Bruno Koschmider, brought over the then still underage boys from Liverpool to Hamburg.
