I discovered some great recordings of The Beatles in Hamburg Germany that I never knew about before. These recordings were made before they were famous. To a serious fan, I would strongly suggest looking for them. You realize, listening, how good The Beatles were before the slick recording sessions and all the fanfare. To have seen them in that period would have been great. It's kind of too bad that the recording process dulled that down a bit, but you still get it in certain performances like 'I Saw Her Standing There' and 'Twist and Shout'. In a live show, the bass came through much louder and the drums were thudding and hard. It wasn't Ringo at that time, and you can tell why they had to fire Pete, but the drums still sound very rock n' roll. It's too bad that this is all history now.
