In 1958 – The Quarrymen, featuring John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison recorded ‘That’ll Be The Day’ and ‘In Spite Of Danger’ in one take each.
And in 1962 – The Rolling Stones played their first concert at the Marquee club in London. Their line-up consisted of lead vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarists Keith Richards and Brian Jones, Dick Taylor on bass, pianist Ian Stewart and Mick Avory, later of The Kinks, on drums.
