The Beatles at the Cavern Club | Early Rare Great Sound (1962)

"Some Other Guy" was part of the Beatles' early repertoire, and film footage of The Beatles performing it live is the only known film with synchronized sound showing the group at the Cavern Club.

The grainy footage features John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing the song's melody in 1962. It is also the first film of Ringo Starr as the Beatles drummer, Pete Best having been sacked the week before. At the end of the song, someone in the audience can be heard shouting "We want Pete!"


This footage was featured on Anthology, while a BBC live version was released on the album Live at the BBC in 1994.
