feb 20, 1957 - Paul sees John for the first time

Description:

In an interview the Beatles gave during their 1966 Japanese tour, they're asked about people paying to see them perform...

Paul: “I paid 17 and 6 to see Bill Haley. I was 12. Broke me. [Turns to John] I saw you too on the same show. Probably the first time."

Paul's referencing a show on February 20, 1957, when Haley played the Liverpool Odeon.

“The first concert I went to was in Liverpool when I was about 14 years old. I was in short trousers and it was a concert for Bill Haley. I was so amazed. The curtains opened and there he was.”
