They said the most important time for them as a band was the time they spent in Berlin... they went there not really knowing what they were doing or what they wanted to do and left 2 years later with their act together and a goal in mind

Boldness because fortune favours it!
Reply:Playing together in long gigs in Hamburg, despite troubles retaining a true standing drummer until Ringo joined, was the catylyst to the Beatles belief in themselves that they could be a success musically. Help from mentors such as Brian Epstein and the support from George Martin did much to help them make history.
Reply:"it came in a vision- a man appeared on a Flaming Pie and said unto them 'from this day on you are Beatles with an A'. 'Thank you mister man', they said, thanking him".





That was from John in 1961, according to this article from the BBC.





I recall someone saying something about it being similar to the Crickets, which was the name of Buddy Holly's band. I think it was in the Anthology DVD, but I don't remember who said it.





I've always thought the Flaming pie story was funny, though. He had a good sense of humor, some of the time.
