- Billy Kinsley from The Merseybeats talks about the last time The Beatles played the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.

The show was in doubt when a power cut took all the lights out minutes before the band was due to play. Paul McCartney responded by taking to the piano and performing 'When I'm 64', several years before it was heard on the legendary Sgt. Pepper album.

Then, Paul was 21.
He wrote "When I'm 64" when he was 16.
I appreciate that he listened to, took an interest in, and played an extremely wide range of music genres from an early age, including vaudeville as well as rock and roll. I'd like to say thanks, especially to his father.
Absolutely right, Jim McCartney was such an important influence on Paul's career and his musical influences too.
People diss this song. It is amazing music.
I knew Paul wrote 'When I'm 64' when he was a teenager, but I didn't know he played it on the piano at The Cavern. I wonder if the people who were at the gig, remembered it when 'Sgt Pepper' came out.
Billy Kinsley we interviewed here certainly did!
Imagine you're in a club, you hear the band play a new song you'd never heard before, then you go home that night and think nothing of it again. Then that band becomes the biggest band in the world...... but then, you run out to the record store the day Sgt Pepper is released by said greatest band in the world, and on that record which is destined to become the greatest album ever, is that song you heard them sing years ago when they were just a club band in a dingy, dark nightclub.
******* MIND BLOWN ********
Yes, that is mind-blowing. And from the Cavern to SSgt Pepper it was less than 4 years later.
That is why this interview was so enlightening. A true eyewitness to Beatles history.
that happen to me with nirvana....helped a scruffy band load in at a party in santa cruz that blew me away (being a deadhead) , didnt get their name, said they were on their way to LA to record, and a year later i literally dropped my lunch on the floor watching mtv when teen spirit came on...holy fuck moment...that DAY changed everything everyone was talking about it that night
@@deadlotCamper Wow that had to be something. Proves when you go to a club or bar and see some unknown band playing one of their original songs you just never know where they might go.
That must be incredible but i find it hard he was able to even hear that
The Beatles were, are, and forever will be the "Topper most of the popper most."
Birth of the beatles
And that's where they'r goin' to
As I understand it Paul wrote when I’m 64 as a child, which makes it even more lovable 👌
That's correct. Paul was in his late teens when he wrote "When I'm 64", in the vane of the music that his dad, James, performed. James had his own jazz band in the 20s, called the "Jim Mac band". When the electrics would go out during their stints in Hamburg, Paul would go over to the piano and also play "When I"m 64".
@@lebmanrocks3949 fascinating thanks 😁
@@nezbit8989 You’re welcome.
They played in my town of Fleetwood in I think 1962 as support for my dad’s band, The Zeros, they were booed off!
Oh wow, we knew this happened a couple of times, but not the Fleetwood concert. Do you know why?
Thank you for the supreme music lads
Two-and-a-half-years later, _Rubber Soul_ was IT and the music world changed.
You are right! ❤️
Followed by Revolver
Amazing if you think about it. Even if you think of the difference between '63 and '64.
I'm a big stone fan but gotta say Beatles paved the way
Good for you. Admitting that doesn't make the Stones less relevant. They were my two favourite bands and still are.
Personally the Stones is a amazing band but Beatles was a different level the highest level.
I will always prefer the stones
I love both The Beatles and The Stones. They both are two of the most highly influential bands to ever exist. The Beatles were more "polished" and The Stones were more "raw". However, they were both equally talented.
No they weren’t. The Stones aren’t as talented in songwriting or musicianship. The only Beatle Jagger beats as a singer is Ringo, who is not a good singer. It’s not even close, but no band is close to the Beatles. Doesn’t mean the Stones aren’t a great band, but don’t compare the two bands. Actually the reason the Stones shifted to a more rebellious persona with darker lyrics and sound was because they knew the Beatles had them beat at that kind of music.
The real reason the world is so messed up is because there are no more Beatles.
This present world age is felled with darkness Satan the prince of darkness. There is LIGHT. John 8:12. King James Version.
@@albertochoa7331 no,it's filled with demential statements like yours
@@claudioperotti9439
"demential"
First time I've ever seen THAT word ! But perhaps you lack a Sense of Humorousness and Ironicalism ?
@@marvinc9994 ma perché non scrivi nella tua lingua
At least there are 2 Beatles left
That's one for ages. There won't be a other group like them in my lifetime.
That’s a fantastic story, thanks for sharing this. What a realisation it must have been when he heard When I’m 64 years later on Sgt Pepper!
I've spoken to several people who were there and they all thought it was just Paul having fun with an old tune!
@@BrightmoonLiverpool He was clearly interested in experimenting with different styles of music even at a young age.
It would be cool to see Paul and Ringo reflect on this
Goose bumps--mind BLOWN.
Brilliant
Just two years after this, just 743 days after this, they played in front of tens of thousands in giant stadiums.
It was a gigantic leap. They made their debut at the Cavern on 9th February 1961 - three years to the day later they were on Ed Sullivan in front of 73 million. Mind-blowing!
@@BrightmoonLiverpool Didn't know that their debut Ed Sullivan Show was precisely three years after the first cavern show. That's incredible:)
They weren't human. They were aliens from Planet "Real Music" and they were sent here to show us Earthlings how it should be done...and did they ever! I just listened to The White Album for the first time in years and 50+ years later it's still incredible. It was so far ahead of it's time back then and just amazing for 4 lads in their 20s. Never again, folks, never again! Sure glad I lived it.
The different styles of music they created was incredible, and the White album is the perfect example. Such an eclectic mix of songs, yet it works. Once in a generation genius!
Many bands have a 'unique' sound, but the Beatles brought a unique sound to every song. I mean, compare Penny Lane to I Am the Walrus to Here Comes the Sun. Except for the voices, it's like the songs come from entirely different bands. Lovely Rita, Meter Maid came from the same band that gave us A Day in the Life -- on the same album!
No Monitors Still Managed To Get There Music Accross As Keith Richard's Said It Best The Beatles Kicked The Doors Open Set A Standard That Still Remains Today All In A 7 Year Period
Billy Kinsley - still playing with Tony Crane in The Merseybeats. Still a top band
And a really top guy too.
Billy Kinsley is a truly decent and modest man. Bowie thought fit to cover his bands the, Merseybeats song Sorrow..
Working with the criminally underated Jimmy Campbell was one of few Merseybeat musicians to progress to stranger things post 64. Liverpool Express were a fine band .
Also a bloody superb bass player and vocalist.
Yes I agree Billy Kinsley is a really decent bloke and a great musician and very highly regarded on Merseyside.The Merseybeats were our favourite band and I remember that event at the Cavern,it was the first and last time I saw the Beatles perform there.We even bumped into Paul later on Mathew st,he had a chat with us and was was very nice,not so Ringo though ☹
Never again will this type of talent produce such an immense catalog of songs where even those considered "Mediocre" would blow the doors in on todays "hits". Debate anyone?
Can’t debate facts. It’s actually pretty stunning that they all lived in such reasonable distance from each other. And then what happened going forward is beyond belief.
@@memphisflashfan1 Part of what made them who they were, what made them so successful, was their charm and their personalities. They had that because they were first and foremost friends. Mates who were all from the same area, grew up with the same interests, and could BS with each other and have a beer and just talk music. Paul and George knew each other long before Paul met John, they rode the bus to school together. So the fact they lived a reasonable distance from each other was all part of the great mix of what they became. Until then rock bands - or any band in general really - were assembled from the outside based on what was needed. Need a bass player? Call this number. I need a drummer..... there's a guy in this down who plays drums and is looking to hook up with a band.
These guys were school mates and neighborhood kids who sat and listened to the Saturday morning radio shows together, went to the movies together, and played in the street together like any other group of kids around the world.
No arguments here my friend. Cheers 🇬🇧🇨🇦
Beatles are my favourite band of all time. Recently I have been really impressed by Larkin Poe. I see some similarities ie: personal charm, great songwriting, amazing harmonies, top level guitars, and years of interesting recorded music as they break through the music industry. Their work with Nu Deco hints at their musical potential.
No debate. You win.
Billy has a great singing voice. Thanks for the memories Billy.
He has. Great musician and great bloke too.
This is a good story that I've heard many times before and the like music never get tired of hearing them .This is a great Great Channel 😎👌 P.S. My son is now a resident artist in the cavern and does excellent covers of Beatle songs , I would say that though wouldn't I 😁😁😁😎👌🎸🎸🎸
What's your son's name? Best of luck to him. He must be good to be resident there.
My sons name is Ray Durie has been resident for about 4/5 years my other son Ross sometimes accompanies him . They do lots of local gigs around Liverpool they're Known as the Durie brothers . 👍👍🎸😎🎸
+Beeetle Boy Talented lads! I will look out for them
@@BrightmoonLiverpool have a look at my latest upload on Beeetle Boy Channel you can see where they get their talent from 😁😁 👍👍👍
no idea I'M 64 was in 1964, l listened to that song on ALBUM Peppers. Wow had no ldea.
It was the best of times...
It certainly was
I saw Pete Best on the crowed, on the third row. He's giving the Beatles the middle finger. You see him.
WHERE WHERE WHERE?
Liar. You're full of sh*t!
On top of those facts, Pete Best took getting sacked for Ringo better than any one could possibly imagine. He's a man!
@@THE-HammerMan Pete took legal proceedings against them , so he didn’t take it that well.
Interesting... both "When I'm Sixty Four" and "One After Nine Oh Nine" were written way back then and not released on record until years later. Who knew...?
that was my 14th birthday (it was also Jimmie Nichol's 24th birthday)
There are some great channelings of John and George by Karl Mollison. (GetWisdom)
Hadn't come across those.
He has a UA-cam channel (GetWisdom). John's is a couple years old but it's in there. FF to about 34:00 to get to the first question.
I mean, if you're into that sort of thing it's great.
This is the Paul era. Paul McCartney died in September 11 1966
Silly question; did you get the Covid vaccine yet?

Cannot duplicate yet,
the Quarry men got back together again:: if you didnt see it look for them on youtube
We have them in concert on this channel
What other songs did they perform that last show at Cavern in 1963 ? And didn't Epstein promise 5 or 6 future shows at Cavern sometime in future ? Which i think they declined.
They did, as far as we know, a lot of their current songs, as Please Please Me was out by then and a number of hits. They weren't larking around much like they used to, though the power cut helped add some fun! Brian did promise 6 more shows but they never happened.
@BrightmoonLiverpool and pics from that very special night ? Just 500 allowed in.
A few pics, and restricted to 500 by request of Brian. They were huge stars by then and even 500 was a squeeze, with only one way in and out. No health & safety rubbish back then to comply with! It was a potential death-trap 😂
Talk about sucker bait...............this was nothing
The Beatles were a pop band (the best ever) that played a few rock songs. As a lover of rock first and foremost, I could never consider the Beatles as a favorite band. This, and the fact they didn't play live in the era with proper sound systems diminishes them in my eyes. Maybe the all time talented band, but I need to rock, not just bop my head.
That’s amazing, playing “when I’m 64” in August of 1963. Never liked Twist and Shout, only song they ever did I disliked.
In Lennon's words....that's a granny song. Most of John's writing was Rock and roll based.
Twist and Shout is by far the best cover song they ever did. They probably played that song on stage more than any other song.
@@stevestroh2267 I know, I know, but I never liked the song. Apparently a lot of people do.
@@countalucard4226 how dare you not like that song. J/k
@@stevestroh2267 look at it this way of ALL the songs they wrote I love them all. Except T&S and Revolution #9.
The Beatles: Like John Lennon said the dream is over. His first LP. You better take time to know the LORD. Otherwise HE won't take time to know you.

If it wasn't for John the Beatles would never blow up cause he did the seriousness in the songs and Paul would do always do like children sounding lame music like "a day in the life" Paul ruined it with his lame part that he woke up and dragged a comb across his head or whatever or like his song "Eleanor Rigby" and other lame children sounding songs his only good song was "yesterday" like John even said all Paul had was "yesterday"
No room for facts and truth in your tiny tunnel vision mind, eh? I believe your God, John, told you to get stuffed too!
Helter Skelter, Birthday, She's a Woman, Oh Darling, I'm Down .......come off it mate. You're a mug.

yes and also them wearing Sgt peppers T shirts.... you see Sgt Peppers wasnt out yet. i hope you get it.... ((Fans Bringing T Shirts Back in Time with Them::::
I saw them in the Cavern 1962 whilst docked in Liverpool, happy memories!
That must have been incredible. Was it with Pete or Ringo?
@@BrightmoonLiverpool Hi, yes it was a fantastic time and great memories, I saw them a few times during our time docked in Liverpool, it would have been Ringo on the drums, it was in late Summer of 62.
Well, that makes me so jealous that I hate you 😂😘. Lucky you!
@@mazasan the down side to that is that it shows how old I am ☹️
@@chrislofotos and there you are, still watching videos about music on youtube! You’re young inside……..and saw the Beatles in the Cavern 😡😂😘
Going by pictures of the inside of the cavern, it's a wonder why they didn't shut it down. That many kids crammed into a hole like that is a disaster waiting to happen.
I stood outside the cavern 4 years after this....and it was a bit of a memory then...
people talk of the Cavern as some 'great' place..it must have been terrible with it being underground , packed with people and the smoke & sweat . I'm sure more than a few contracted lung diseases years later..it would never have got a licence with today's H&S regulations. I've never been to Matthew Street. Seen plenty of film & photos. the council filled it in-buried it years later. Would have been good as a museum to those times...
@@vincentl.9469 I’ve been inside in the eighties but I think it was a rebuild...
@@vincentl.9469 .working underground is dangerous....ask a coal miner.. the Beatles didn't work a 40 hour week in the cavern,so that was good,. the Beatles smoked Marlboros...George died of cancer..
@@david-lt9wj that would be the new one ..people play there now but the original could have served as a reminder ..
@@vincentl.9469 I'll never understand what the developers did at the cavern...theres sort of a modern high building on top and a reconstructured cavern club underneath and I thought I was in the old cavern in the early eighties...but I don't think I was...i suppose it's sort of a Disney cavern made out of the original bricks...add a few old posters and Paul stood here plaques who would know?
I went with Pat Rooney, great night.
Want to share some memories with us? We would love to hear from you.
Thank you very much for the upload.
Ha, “we hadn’t seen them *for a few months*”. :)
In the right place at the right time, right folks?
Billy was on the bill for that gig - he was on just before the Beatles
@@BrightmoonLiverpool yeah, I was drooling in envy. :)
Crazy to think then that their last show ever was just shy of 6 years later, while bands like the rolling stones are still around almost 60 years later
True, and look how much progress they made in those six years, which is more than the Stones have in 60.
Cover bands go on and on……. LOL
@@BrightmoonLiverpool
Sadly the Fabs never got beyond the screaming girls period as a live Band (1966).
Their biggest mistake.
@@petermills542 why a mistake? Once they became a mostly studio band, they created a series of recording masterpieces!
Ringo was the final piece to the puzzle.
Ringo had impeccable timing, and understood his role as accompaniment. But in that role he made the band better. Ringo was indeed the piece to take them over the top.
Paul sold his soul to Satan years ago at least Lennon wanted a refund
Zzzzzzzz.
