A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BEATLES

1962  The Beatles perform at the Subscription Rooms, Stroud. The supporting act is the Rebel Rousers. A poster advertised The "Sensational" Beatles as "...Liverpool's top vocal and instrumental group:" and ":stars of Polydor records:". The poster also advised boys not to wear Teddy Boys, and "Ladies" were advised not to wear stiletto heels.
1963  The Beatles, on the Montez/Roe tour, perform at DeMontfort Hall, Leicester, Leicestershire. This is the final night of the tour.
1964  Wax replicas of The Beatles are placed in Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in London. These wax figures would be used three years later on the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album cover.
1964  In Australia, The Beatles hold the top six slots on the singles chart: #1 "I Saw Her Standing There"; #2 "Love Me Do"; #3 "Roll Over Beethoven"; #4 "All My Loving"; #5 "She Loves You"; and #6 "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
1964  An important day of filming for "A Hard Day's Night"--the filming of the movie's climax (the "live television performance" in front of a studio of screaming fans). One of those fans is Phil Collins. Four songs are used in the movie, The Beatles performing lip-sync with their records: "Tell Me Why", "I Should Have Known Better", "And I Love Her", and "She Loves You". "You Can't Do That" is filmed as well, but it will not be included in the final movie; however, it is shown on the US "Ed Sullivan Show" on May 24. One shot during "Tell Me Why", looking from the stage towards the audience, reveals the film's director Richard Lester.
1964  After a day of filming, the Beatles go to the Playhouse Theatre to record a radio segment for the BBC series "Saturday Club", for broadcast on April 4. The Beatles are interviewed, then they perform "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby", "I Call Your Name", "I Got a Woman", "You Can't Do That", "Can't Buy Me Love", "Sure to Fall (In Love With You)", and "Long Tall Sally". John Lennon did a separate interview about his book "In His Own Write", for the program "A Slice of Life".
1965  The Beatles continue filming for the movie "Help!", at Twickenham Film Studios (the movie's working title has not yet been changed from "Eight Arms to Hold You").
1967  The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Glockenspiel and another organ part are overdubbed onto "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite". The "Kite" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" are mixed in mono.
1972  The Beatles Fan Club is officially terminated.
1973  Allen Klein's contract with The Beatles/Apple expires. It is not renewed.
