1961 – The Beatles perform at the Cassanova Club, Liverpool, and at Litherland Town Hall, Liverpool. Advertisements for the Cassanova Club appearance credited The Beatles as the originators of a foot-stomping dance called “The Atom Beat.” At Litherland Town Hall, while The Beatles are presenting a Valentine’s Day show, Paul McCartney sings Elvis Presley’s “Wooden Heart,” and is wearing an actual wooden heart pinned to his coat, covered with satin and embroidered with the names “John,” “Paul,” “George,” and “Pete.” The heart is raffled off, and the winner also gets a kiss from Paul. When the winning girl goes on stage to get her prize and kiss, dozens of other girls follow her, squealing in an early display of “Beatlemania.” John is knocked to the floor and the club’s bouncers close the curtain and stop the show until order has been restored. In 1996, a 35-second colour, soundless film of The Beatles performing at the Cassanova Club on this day is discovered by the son of the fan who filmed it.
