Over 60 Years Ago, The Beatles Had a Residency That Changed the Band's Lives Forever

When one looks back at the history of The Beatles, it was a combination of chance and incredibly hard work. The Fab Four were all from the same town and started working together when they were only teenagers, but while their success can partially be attributed to luck and talent, the truth behind their stardom is that they worked themselves to the bone in ways that would frankly be considered illegal nowadays. In 1960, when all of them were still teenagers, and George Harrison was still underage, they received an offer that would change their careers, though they didn't know it at the time.

With that mismatched lineup, The Beatles headed off to Hamburg. From the start, the band shares in the Anthology, the quest was complicated. They arrived at the club at night, and there was no one to greet them. When someone finally appeared, they were taken to sleep in the closed club. After that, they all shared a room in the backroom of a cinema for months. The band was between the ages of 17 and 20, with a drummer they didn't have chemistry with, and a bass player who couldn't play the bass. And yet, in those months, Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney became the greatest musicians in the world.
