THE CAVERN CLUB 17 de junio 2017 1 - Introducción El Magical Mystery Tour, les va a acompañar en un viaje que les va a presentar la fascinante historia de los Beatles. Desde sus humildes comienzos criándose en el Liverpool de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a como se conocieron y se convirtieron en los Beatles antes de abandonar Liverpool, durante su ascenso meteórico al estrellato el cual cautivó al mundo de la música popular. El tour incluye los lugares de nacimiento, las casas donde vivieron su infancia, las escuelas, los colegios, los locales donde actuaron durante la primera etapa del grupo y todos los lugares que inspiraron algunas de sus canciones más memorables, como "Penny Lane" & "Strawberry Fields Forever” . Además, el Magical Mystery Tour también les va a introducir a las personas que ayudaron a formar sus vidas y sus carreras. La historia del grupo empieza a finales de 1956, cuando John Lennon formó el grupo The Quarrymen. Durante los tres años siguientes el grupo cambió de nombre varias veces. Nombres como The Black Jacks, Johnny & The Moondogs y The Silver Beatles fueron algunos de ellos, hasta que a finales de 1960, justo antes de su primera visita a a Hamburgo, acordaron llamarse The Beatles.

In both sound and imagery, pop music, particularly that of the Beatles, is a principal medium of memory for the period. For the period from 1965, the progressive aspects of pop music, particularly in sonic and lyrical complexity, expressed a retrospective, pastoral strain that was itself a form of memory of other periods and places, of childhood and country life. The Beatles double-A-sided single Strawberiy Fieldsforever/Penny Lane, released in February 1967, epitomizes these complexities in a suburban version of pastoral, recalling the Liverpool childhoods of songwriters John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
