[quote=Anonymous]Let me point to more evidence that they were different from other Liverpool bands by the time they went to Hamburg (and certainly by the time they came back from the first Hamburg trip in 1961): They wore leather jackets, leather pants and cowboy boots. No other bands dressed like that. The others were usually in some version of coordinated suits. They played loud, fast, hard rock n roll. Not the softer Shadows/Cliff Richard stuff that was popular then. In fact, George and John wrote Cry For a Shadow as a spoof on the Shadows. They cursed, drank, smoke, and ate on stage. Sounds tame now but it was pretty edgy back then, when the Cavern technically only allowed jazz. It’s hard to overestimate how different they were from other bands starting in 1961. That’s why people would line up all night for tickets to the next day’s Cavern Club show. [/quote]
