I Saw Her Standing There – Debbie Greenberg

Send us Fan Mail

Tim is joined by Cavern Club owner and author Debbie Greenberg to explore I Saw Her Standing There. They examine the song’s explosive energy, its rock and roll roots, and how it captured the raw excitement of the Beatles’ early Cavern performances.

Debbie shares extraordinary first-hand memories of seeing the Beatles live 292 times at the Cavern. She reflects on their transformation from local “lads” (fresh from Hamburg) to leather-clad rock and roll trailblazers, the shock of Pete Best’s departure and Ringo’s arrival, and the band’s effortless onstage humour and chemistry.
