I’d love to hear the inside jokes and perspire in the heat (some of it, at least, from the temperature in the underground room). I would give almost anything to experience that night…to feel the passion and energy in the room when the boys opened the first set with “Some Other Guy” and closed with “Twist and Shout.” I’d love to see John snarl at the girls calling Paul’s name and see Paul’s puckered brow when John made the front three rows swoon. Brian, you see, is introducing loyal fans to the newly re-engineered Fab Four – the group that will soon leave Liverpool behind and step onto the world stage.
This set is to be guided by a strict playlist, good manners, and deep bows from the waist. Then, after a short break, the lads are to emerge again, this time wearing (for the first time ever in The Cavern) their new, exquisite Beno Dorn suits. The posters call it “The Beatles: For Their Fans,” and all week long, compère Bob Wooler has proclaimed it as “a singular soiree for the beauteous Beatlettes ’n all ’n sundry Beatles devotees.” The show’s to be one-of-a-kind: during the first set, John, Paul, George, and Pete Best are to bound out from the Green Room in their traditional, tight leathers and to offer up random, uncensored raucous favorites that’ll shake “the Cavern dandruff” from the ceiling and set the room on fire. With his usual command of the dramatic, he’s planned a never-to-be-forgotten set. You see, Brian has – without making a big deal of it – decided to make this night a sort of debutante’s It’s rare for her to be here of an evening, but this is a special night. She’s standing in her usual lunchtime spot just under the first arch. No, my dream of dreams is to go to the past…to land squarely inside The Cavern Club on Thursday, 5 April 1962 just as the evening set is about to get started: I have no desire at all to whisk away to the future (where I’ll have even more wrinkles than I presently have! Geez!). I’ve always longed for a magic time machine. Jude talks about her #1 favorite moment in Beatles history…what was yours? Tell us YOUR fav Fab moment! We want to hear from you! We’ll draw a name from all responses to win a Beatles gift package.
