"...And probably, in my opinion anyway, we reached our stage peak in
Hamburg. That was well before
we were famous, and so the people who came to see us were drawn by our
music, or whatever
atmosphere we created......And we got to be very good as a band, because
we had to play for eight
hours a night......We got together a big repertoire of some originals,
but mainly we did all the
old rock things......At first, when we went on the road as a famous
group, it was good fun. But we
soon found out that we had to play our records to promote them. We could
only sing our hits and none
of the old rock things we'd loved doing in Liverpool and Hamburg......as
I said, we got very tight
as a band in Hamburg...."
