Liverpool-D2- Very Late Evening!

That evening we went to Matthew Street and the Cavern Club, located at 10 Mathew Street. It's situated in the middle of Liverpool's city center. The Cavern Club is where much of British Pop Music got its start and has had hit bands start and play there for the past 60+ years. The Beatles played at the The Cavern Club a total of 292 TIMES between 2/21/61 and 8/3/63 and where Brian Epstein discovered them.

The doorway to the Cavern was like any other warehouse entrance. It was now 11pm and “the bouncers” said they were not letting anyone else in that evening. I “sweet talked” them into letting us in and they escorted us through the passage down 3 flights of stone steps which led down into the Cavern, a series of tunnels and archways and a small wooden stage lit by a couple of spotlights (exactly the same as when John, Paul, George and Ringo played there).

We enjoyed a few beers and bought some merch and then listed to two sets with individual singers, on the same small stage where the Beatles played, as they sang old popular rock songs and of course, Beatles music. One singer was celebrating the end of his 40’s as we hit midnight and he turned 50 and we sang Happy Birthday. WE CLOSED DOWN THE CAVERN CLUB THAT NIGHT AS WE LEFT WITH THE LAST CROWD and the last song of the evening, “ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (July 1967)”
