Two days before their first Abbey Road recording session, The Beatles undertook a second day of rehearsals at the Cavern Club, Liverpool.
The rehearsal began at 7pm, so there were no scheduled performances at the Cavern that evening. The following day The Beatles drove from Liverpool to London, ahead of the session.
