Backbeat

The story of how the Beatles ‘became’ the Beatles. Featuring the all-time rock ‘n’ roll classics that the Beatles cut their teeth on – "Money," "Long Tall Sally," "Twist and Shout," "Good Golly Miss Molly," "Please Mr. Postman," "Rock ‘n’ Roll Music" and more, "Backbeat" is set in 1960 when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best (the drummer before Ringo Starr joined the group) and Stuart Sutcliffe (the band’s original bassist) embarked on their journey from the docks of Liverpool to the red light district of Hamburg. There they worked in the clubs of the tawdry Reeperbahn district, performing rock ‘n’ roll covers night after night, all the while honing what would become the Beatles’ sound.
