16th of August seems to have been a rather significant date for many reasons in rock history.

Yes it is, also Robert Johnson, the great blues singer died on this date in 1938! Some think he was poisoned.

16th August 1962, Brian Epstein told Pete Best that the other Beatles wanted him out of the group, and that he was being replaced. Epstein then asked Best to perform with The Beatles that night at the Riverpark Ballroom in Chester, Cheshire. Pete Best does not show up, drummer Johnny Hutchinson of The Big Three filled in the temporary vacancy. It was a tough decision but the correct one. Ringo was the perfect fit to go with The Beatles personalities, without Ringo in the band the whole story would be different.
