I was in Liverpool recently and took the chance to walk down past the Cavern Club. I didn't go in, but spent some time looking at the outside. It gave me a real tingle, imagining what it must have been like to have been there in the 1960s, being in the midst of all that was happening. Every generation has their version, but this must have been like witnessing something unique. It had never really been done before.
They have a wall of fame outside the Cavern now, with bricks of artists that have played there, past and present (I didn't notice the Beatles one, but I suppose it must be there). Interestingly two of the bricks have been removed, and replaced with one of Liverpool's own, as you can see from the pictures.
Leaving aside whether or not they should have been removed, it seemed to miss the point slightly by putting up a plaque explaining it.
