The Jukebox #9 Anniversary Concert was a total success!! Saturday November 6, 2010 was the date that Beatles and Jukebox fans were waiting. The Jukebox celebrated their 9th Anniversary with a very special event at the Centro de Bellas Artes in Guaynabo.

Original Beatles drummer, Pete Best, performed with The Jukebox in a historic event. There was also Beatles artwork and memorabilia for display, as well as Jukebox and Beatles merchandise and collectibles for sale.

Everything started at 4:00 PM with the exhibition memorabilia displays and Beatles Rockband play stations for the kids. The Jukebox went on stage around 7:00 PM. The concert started with a set consisting of "Beatlemania" years material, supported by video screens showing Beatles footage according to each song. During the second part of the show, which was focused on "Studio Years" material, saw the appearance for the first time in Puerto Rico of The Beatles' original drummer Pete Best. The legendary member of The Beatles original line-up joined The Jukebox to perform "My Bonnie" to a frenzied crowd who stood on their feet and were dancing every beat, witnessing history in the making. The band slowed the pace with "PS I Love You" and quickly turned on things again with "I Saw Her Standing There", which had the crowd back in their feet and hundreds of camera flashes lit up the theater.

A representative of the Major of the city of Guaynabo went on stage and gave Pete Best a recognition plaque for his "contribution and inspiration to young musicians worldwide". Jukebox's Fan Club President Yamel Figueroa gave Pete Best a painted portrait of him in his "Hamburg" look.

The Major also recognized The Jukebox for their success making them "Distinguished Visitors of the City of Guaynabo". The crowd cheered both artists as the band went back for their final songs. The last song brought the house down with a killer rendition of "Twist and Shout" joined once more by Pete Best, who played drums along Juan Carlos on all four songs. This brought to a close a historic event that many Beatles and Jukebox fans will remember. A SPLENDID TIME GUARANTEED FOR ALL INDEED!!

The band left San Juan International Airport on the 21 of July.
