Short story:
With members of The Rolling Stones in the crowd, The Big Three record their set at The Cavern Club, Liverpool, England, UK, and release it as the live EP At The Cavern.Full article:
Johnny Gustafson (bassist, Big Three) : It's difficult to say who was responsible for the idea. Possibly Decca realised the material we were given to record was nothing compared to how we were live. I'm surprised they went for it, considering what sort of company they were.

During the gig, the photographer couldn't get anywhere near the stage. After we'd finished, we took off our horrible sweat-drenched suits. Since we hated them anyway we just hurled them in a corner.
