Moin, Moin,

That’s what the folks in Hamburg say for “Hello”, “Good morning”, “Good night” and everything in between.

Why do we use this unusual greeting? Because we are about to share part 1 of a travel vlog that we filmed in Hamburg, Germany, in March 2020, only a week before the world closed down its borders. 

This is the first of a 3-Part “MLT Club Special” in which we explore the early 60s Beatles history of the city, including an interview with Mr. Rotthoff, the owner of the legendary music store with a history as rich as it gets.

If you’ve enjoyed the videos we’ve been sharing with you over the last week or so, there are dozens of others over at the MLT Club.

In times of digitalisation and environmental awareness we think that offering our music and other content in digital form for a small monthly fee is an ideal way for fans to get an increased regular supply of music and videos – without financing shipping companies and straining resources.

If you have been toying with the idea of becoming a MLT Club member we hope that the last few emails could give you a better idea of whether that is something you would be interested in exploring. Here is even more info on all other types of content:

We’d love to see you on the inside!

Take care,
Mona & Lisa

    The time they played in Hamburg (and some time later in England) was the “real rock and roll” period for them. It´s nice to read about this time in Bob Spitz´s book “The Beatles – Biography”. The shows with Tony Sheridan and other artists were absolutely insane”!
    Even when they played by themselves (with a guy who didn´t know how to play the bass!! :-)) this was what rock and roll really meant.
    But soon they were forced to “sell theirs souls” to the records industry….wear those funny suit and ties, etc.etc. They tried to keep a bit of this “Hamburg mood” in one song or another – I like Paul singing “Long Tall Sally”, or George in “Roll Over Beethoven” – but surely it was not the same “organized musical chaos”, haha…

    Too bad the presentations in Hamburg were not registered in film (as far as I know) or just a few takes ( if ever).

    Sehr gut gemacht. Ich habe auf ‘m Kiez gewohnt und gearbeitet. Hans-Albers-Platz.
    Great to see the place again. Brings back so many memories. Needless to say I frequented the bars in this video on more than one occasion ;-). Keep up the good work. Looking forward to part 2. Grüss aus Gloucester

    Ja das ist gut, meine liebschen!
    Ww, a muscial histrorical journey brought to life.
    I was in Hamburg twice in the early 1970s on a school exchange.
    Alas never got to see this, so many thanks and much appreciated.
    The Beatles were modern day music pace setters in the 60s
    Mona Lisa twins, thank you for following.

    Thank you so much for the visit in Hamburg . it is very interisting to see how it is today, all those places that we saw in Beatles books. I would have loved to see the Fab Four there. MonaLisa you are very good to describe the place. Merci beaucoup de nous faire visiter ces endroits merveilleux.

    I visited Hamburg in the mid 1980s to see Southampton play football! As a Beatles fan and guitar player I did of course explore the infamous Reeperbahn.

  18. Bob Galella 02/11/2021

    Thank you very much. Found the “tour” you conducted was very interesting. Amazed at the talent that played there like a all star 60’s roster. Please keep them coming.

    Very interesting – thank you! – never knew what Hamburg looked like – or where the Beatles played there. Was, I’m sure, very controversial in their day because 1961 was only 16 years after the end of WWII and I’m sure their parents’ generation questioned their going to play in Germany. It is so interesting that German youth loved English and American rock n’ roll of the time. It was a new day. The Beatles were such a breath of fresh air musically. In the USA they and Motown rose together to the top of the charts. I think that Liverpool, being the port it was, had a vibrant cross-section of musical influences. You two would know better than me, being the Beatles historians you are. The Beatles took African American rhythm & blues and some rock-a-billy and I guess English skiffle music (?) and put their own original inspirations into the mix to create such a joyful original sound. I always find it interesting that for some of their songs I think “Oh – that will just be !,!V,V & minor vi” and then it is like – “oh wow! that is so cool they went to that chord – and that – and that”. I just was playing some rhythm guitar for a friend of mine named Brooke who is recovering from arthritis surgery to her left hand so she has to not play too many songs in a row on guitar – at a community garden in Brooklyn, NY – a set for the little kids – and the set she prepared was half Beatles music – plus some folk and an original song of mine thrown in. it is so great that the Beatles’ music speaks to so many generations – it wasn’t lost on Brooke or me that it would have been John Lennon’s 81st birthday.

    When are you guys coming to America, there’s a great venue here in Michigan, called DTE music theater (everyone knows it as Pine Knob music theater) before they changed the name, anyway it’s a outdoor venue with pavilion seating and lawn seating on The
    Hill, Bob Seger played there all the time, you guys would love it.

    I did this very trek back through the early Beatles time in Hamburg in 2017.It is a shame the museum has closed. Looking forward to part 2!
