PROGRAM AT-A-GLANCE | TWIST AND SHOUT Ticket to Ride

The Beatles’ major legacy and revolutionary impact on popular music cannot be overstated. The group made their first appearance in Detroit on September 6, 1964 at Olympia Stadium, and appeared at the stadium once more just two years later in 1966. The Beatles’ unique name was influenced by Buddy Holly and The Crickets in that the band was interested in naming themselves after an insect. John Lennon applied his tongue-in-cheek humor to devise a punnier moniker, and thus “The Beatles” was born. Although Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are widely known as the band’s rhythm section, they were not the original members. At first, the rhythm section consisted of Stu Stucliffe on bass—one of John Lennon’s friends from art school—and Pete Best on drums, a Liverpool contemporary who left after being angered by one of their record contracts. Paying tribute to the band’s legendary discography, this program will make you get up and dance, with popular tunes that will be stuck in your head “Eight Days a Week.”
