The Beatles were forged live on stage. A huge part of their development came from playing seedy clubs in the port town of Hamburg. Here they honed their skills and mastered the platform, regularly playing live for eight hours a day. Live Icons transports you back to witness how the practice and mastery paid off. Through remastered audio and classic tracks, we aim to put you in the audience and be dazzled again by the fab four. Included are performances captured here with Pete Best, their drummer before Ringo to give a complete idea of their genesis. Presented to you is a clear reminder of how the Liverpudlian outfit would take to the stage and blow everyone away with their unique energy, tight Rock N Roll performances, and supreme confidence that they would come to be synonymous with. Enjoy the live classics that introduced the world to The Beatles.
