The Beatles perform Ask Me Why at the StarClub in Hamburg, Germany 1962.

I love these Lennon-McCartney 1962 compositions with those haunting melancholy minor chords -- does anyone have a time machine? If so, send me back to the moment this was performed at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany -- and leave me there.

This song is an excellent example of the trademark harmonies of the early Beatles.

It technically way ahead of any songs at the time. The Beatles cord sequence was what put them obove any other band at the time.

[PaulGreen]

The musicianship was on point
they were Really tight and well rehearsed
all in tune
Ringo and Paul were perfect

[gabrielfanin]

This performance sounds very good for the long time it was done.John's vocal awesome

[PaulGreen]

The growth from the Deca audition to this is amazing!

[pocopico]

Lol…imagine seeing the Beatles in some small club before they hit it big and what people were saying to each other. “Wow, that band was good!” 😊

When listening to all these old songs, I can’t help but notice how they sound almost exactly like their recordings from their first Please Please Me album that George Martin had them record all in the same day. They sound the same because they recorded them exactly like they had performed them in the clubs for months!

Note the augmented. Very sophisticated

[christianna]

Ok, I think this is one of my favorite versions of this song, maybe my favorite live recording of a song by a band ever for me. I am 20. Hahaha

[jhonngarcia]

Simplemente una joya escucharlos mas naturales, en su esencia en el escenario y sin tanto tumulto

[eddie-nkjk]

Be nice to see interviews of people that were there in Hamburg shows.

[RogerPeet]

John could write 'silly love songs' way back then.

[*] at 0:43 "...but you're the only love that I've ever had!"

[bigbadbillb]

Is Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass on this?

[martinhanley]

Pete Bests drumming sounded okay to me
