photo by Mike McCartney showing Paul after a Cavern All-Nighter, 1961.
"I mainly watch Lennon. He's like a caged animal, never mind a Beatle. Not that I've got anything against my brother, but he's just a brother (you know, the one who picks his nose and won't come off the toilet 'cos he's playing his guitar or reading those nudy books). Lennon just stands there, legs apart, defying you to come up an' hit him, with the odd, razor sharp intro and mongol movement, but Paul gets the girls (and some of the musical lads) going with Till there was you. It' s a most unusual, Dad orientated, melodic song in the middle of all the rock 'n' roll screamers. Then he finishes 'em off with a more than passable Long Tall Sally.
         When it's all over and the magic Sesame Street door to the drezy finally opens and SLAMS behind me (to keep out the fans), the inevitable 'the Coke's warm' follows . . . usually from George. After stripping off the dripping black T-shirts and leathers and towelling down their sweat saturated bodies, they dress in blue jeans and black polos. Then the 'Cavern Conga' snakes back through the girls once more and down to the pints of bitter. This procedure continues ad infinitum till the pubs close and then we all sit it out in the drezy till morning.
         At daybreak Paul and I climb our weary legs out of the all night cave and headed, tireder but somehow wiser (and certainly happier) for the number 86 bus stop, where we look at the latest winkle pickers in shoe shop windows or sit on pillar-boxes with the wind whipping up from the Mersey, and wait for the first bus home... magic days." from: Mike McCartney, "The Macs: Mike McCartney's family album" (1981)

The Beatles by Dezo Hoffmann
fun fact about the last photo: George has a black eye, because he was involved in a fight with a Pete Best fan, who was upset about Ringo being the new drummer. Dezo Hoffmann tried different angles and lightning to hide it.

Paul McCartney, John Lennon & Mike McCartney at the Cavern, 1962
Page 70: Paul playing piano down at the Cavern, with John practicing his harmonica for “Love Me Do.” When the record came out, some critics noticed its similarity to Bruce Channel’s “Hey! Baby,” which had been a hit earlier in 1962. John denied that he’d “borrowed” the lick, saying that they’d never heard the song because they were in Hamburg when it was in the charts. But the photograph on page 42 shows the Beatles had actually appeared with Channel at the Tower, and John had simply “got some tips” from his harmonica player. It seems John was being economical with the truth. There’s a story that John had shoplifted the harmonica on the way to Hamburg. Rubbish! It must have fallen off the counter and John caught it in his pocket to stop it from smashing to pieces. Those are my fingers walking along the piano. This was my surrealist stage, when I did very odd things, like walking around the streets of Liverpool with a handkerchief stuffed in my mouth. Paul told me I had stop because Gerry Marsden (of the Pacemakers) had asked him if I was soft in the head. Strange Dada behavior didn’t go down well in Liverpool in the sixties, it seemed.
From Mike McCartney, “Remember” (1992)
