February 11 was an eventful date in frenetic early days of the Beatles. On this day in 1963, the group recorded 10 songs in a single session for the Please Please Me Album. A year later on the same date, the group made its live US debut, doing a brief set at the Washington, DC Coliseum in front of a delirious crowd. And on 2/11/1965, Ringo Starr married Maureen Cox.
