BEATLES – Day By Day – 5/21/63
Tuesday, 21 May, 1963
Even though the Roy Orbsion Tour is on a day’s break, the Fab Four keep working. At the Playhouse Theatre in London, The Beatles record two BBC radio programs for later broadcast. First they tape an appearance for the program “Saturday Club,” their first appearance on that important show as top of the bill. They perform “I Saw Her Standing There,” “Do You Want to Know a Secret,” “Boys,” “Long Tall Sally,” “From Me to You,” and “Money.” The show will be broadcast on May 25, and the last three songs are included in the portion of the program that is broadcast overseas. The Beatles are also interviewed, and they show themselves to be personable and witty.
The second radio show they record is “Steppin’ Out,” which is taped before a wildly enthusiastic audience. The Beatles perform six songs, “Please Please Me,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Twist and Shout,” “Thank You Girl,” and “From Me to You.” “Twist and Shout” was edited out of the final program tape. This show will be broadcast on June 3.
