A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BEATLES (MARCH 11 )

1961	The Beatles perform at Aintree Institute, Aintree, Liverpool, and at the Liverpool Jazz Society (LJS). The LJS booking is a 12-group, 12-hour "Big Beat Session"; the capacity is 1,000, but with people coming and going all night, about 2,000 people see at least a part of the show. Some of the other groups on the bill are Kingsize Taylor & the Dominoes, Rory Storm & the Hurricanes, and Gerry & the Pacemakers.
1962	The Beatles perform at the Casbah Coffee Club, West Derby, Liverpool.
1963	With no tour performance this day, The Beatles travel to EMI House in London to appear on their fourth (and final) Radio Luxembourg "The Friday Spectacular". The Beatles are interviewed, and both sides of the "Please Please Me/Ask Me Why" single are played. The radio show is broadcast on March 15.
1964	Filming for "A Hard Day's Night". The first day of shooting at Twickenham Film Studios (8 am - 10 pm). Filming on a stage set made to look like a train guard's cage, where the Beatles play cards and lip-sync to "I Should Have Known Better".
1964	Release in Sweden of Beatles single "Can't Buy Me Love/You Can't Do That" (Parlophone). Twelve weeks in the Swedish charts; highest position #1.
