Live Performances
The Beatles would often play Three-Thirty Blues during late-night sessions at The Kaiserkeller in Hamburg, Germany. Often, Ringo Starr, still two years from actually joining The Beatles, would request the song. Paul McCartney recalls, "Ringo used to come in very late at night. He liked the bluesy sessions, when there weren't very many people there. I can see what he liked, too. We were getting down by then, pulling out all the B-Sides. We used to do a number called 'Three-Thirty Blues'. I remember Ringo would always come in, order a drink, settle back and request 'Three-Thirty Blues'."
