This work is a documentary that relives the early days of The Beatles over a period of about six years.

1960. Wanting to offer something new to young people, club owners in Hamburg heard from sailors that American-style rock and roll was being played in England, so they invited artists from England, where it was cheaper to come to the club than the United States. On August 15th, the Beatles made their first visit to Hamburg by minibus, as they could not afford train or boat fares. I thought I was going to perform at a club, but instead I ended up performing at a strip club called Indra. I spent my time sleeping in the movie theater next door, with no bed, no lights, and no heat, with a Union Jack flag over my head. All teenagers, the youngest of whom, George Harrison, is just 17 years old, will be performing and sleeping in the middle of the world’s largest red light district. On stage, he gradually learned the tricks to attract people and established his style. Indeed, Hamburg became a place of learning.

At first, the venue was unknown due to “Indra,” but after a week or two it became crowded, and after 6 weeks, live performances were banned due to complaints from neighbors. Finally, I will be able to perform at Kaiserkeller. Later, when he asked to play in the Top Ten with Tony Sheridan’s band, Kaiserkeller’s manager Koschmieder threatened him, saying, “If you do that, you will never be able to work in Germany again.” The band members respond, “You too,” but on the first day they performed at Top Ten, Koschmieder spills the beans on the police, and Paul and Pete are indicted and deported to England.

In April 1962, the Beatles were invited to the opening of the Star Club in Hamburg, but when they boarded their first plane to Hamburg, the only person waiting for them at the airport was Astrid, Stuart Sutcliffe’s girlfriend. Members learn of the death of a former member. In August, drummer Pete Best was removed and replaced by Ringo Starr. They revisited Hamburg in November and December and finished their performance at the Star Club on New Year’s Eve, and 11 days later, “Please Please Me” was released and became a huge hit in the UK. Those who know about that time say this in unison. “Liverpool didn’t create the Beatles.”

It is a well-known fact that the Beatles were born in Liverpool, England, but before his death, John Lennon said, “We were born in Liverpool and grew up in Hamburg.” This work covers the history of their first visit to Hamburg in 1960, through the hit of “Please Please Me” in 1963, and up to their sixth visit in 1966, with testimonies from former members and those involved, as well as archival footage. Bring it to life using audio, animation, etc.

Paul McCartney explained the circumstances that led to his deportation, in which he was “handcuffed and put on a plane like a prisoner.” Astrid Kirchherr, who dated Stuart Sutcliffe after he left the band, details how she saw the Beatles perform for the first time, as well as the reactions of John, Paul and Pete Best when they learned of Stuart’s death. speak

Little Richard shared an anecdote from his dressing room, saying, “I’ve never met anyone like John Lennon.” George Martin, the Beatles’ record producer, confessed his reasons for replacing Pete Best with Ringo Starr, and fans from back then who didn’t know that Pete had been removed until the live performance at the Cavern in Liverpool said, “ “Pete, forever! Ringo, never,” he recalled.

In a later interview, John said, “In Hamburg, I slept on stage, ate, swore, and was completely natural.” Afterwards, John said, “I slept on stage, ate, swore, and was completely natural.” Afterwards, John said that he was a fan who attended a fan club night at the Cavern. “The Beatles appeared wearing leather all over, but after their one set, they changed into suits, and after that, they were no longer seen in leather,” he says, revealing that he witnessed the transition before his eyes.

The movie “No Hamburg No Beatles” will be released nationwide from December 6th.
