Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Geoff Emerick

The Beatles intended to begin the recording of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds during this session. Rehearsals took so long, however, that no proper takes were recorded.


The session lasted eight hours and, although the night's progress was recorded, most of it was later erased.

Present in the studio on this evening was a reporter from Life magazine. In the subsequent report, George Martin was quoted as saying: "We are light years away from anything tonight... They know it is awful now, and they're trying to straighten it out. It may be a week before they're pleased, if ever."

The Beatles began recording Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds on the following day, 1 March 1967.

Harrison’s Car Crash
February 28, 1972 - In the late evening George and Pattie left their Henley home, Friar Park, in their white Mercedes en route to London to attend a Ricky Nelson party. George’s reckless driving nearly cost them their lives. Just a few days after the year long driving ban had lifted on George’s license he drove recklessly at 90 mph in the dark during an electrical blackout on a road under construction. At around midnight as they approached a recently opened roundabout George collided with a lamppost on a center barrier.

Ливерпульский клуб Cavern,где несколько лет выступали ранние Битлз, закрыт.

Over 10,000 pounds in debt, the owners of Liverpool's famous Cavern Club -- where the Beatles got their start -- decide to close the rock institution. 100 fans barricade themselves in the club, but to no avail. The venue would later become a subway station, although the Cavern would eventually reopen in a different location.
