Fan photos from 1963


George and Paul at the Beatles fan club meet and greet (how awesome is that!) on December 14


Fans meet Paul in Carsle on November 21

I would guess this to be a fan photo of a Sweden concert on October 25


Another photo that I assume was snapped by a fan on October 11




A fan with color film! At Wales on May 17





A blurry fan photo of the Beatles performing at the Riverside Dance Club on April 15. Look at those people dancing! Don't they know the Beatles are performing live!



Some lucky and smart London fans take a bunch of photos of and with the Beatles (2 of them here) on February 10. Right now these seem to be the earliest fan photos I know of.





I owe everything I know about the Beatles in 1963 and earlier to Chazz Avery and his site The Savage Beatles .
This guy knows dates and times and information that makes me drool. I can't swear that I have taken all of these photos from him, but I will pretend that I did.
I would think that getting photos of the Beatles in 1963 would have been somewhat easy. However, I wouldn't think very many people did because no one knew of them. However some fans did get photos, and I have put them here for you to enjoy.

  1. RE: October 11th shot: Strange to see the Beatles as an opening act, with Ringo on a lower riser. It's a great photo; George is using an alternate guitar as well.
