I'm a huge second generation Beatles fan (born in 1965) - so I missed all this. However, when I discovered them in the 1980s, it was clear their genius started with "Rubber Soul" and onwards to "Sqt. Pepper." Even though I don't care for this dated "yeah, yeah, yeah" period from 1964, you MUST REMEMBER, this new happy music was just what America needed after seeing the President blown away just three months earlier. The planets were aligned for The Beatles from then on - and even today.
My dad was only 6 when he watched this live. And here I am now at age 14 watching the same thing that he fell in love with. I'm gonna cry it makes me so happy :)
@knowhair you must have something wrong with your hearing because the Beatles are one of the greatest singing groups ever. And don't ever say paul's voice is bad, he has one of the greatest voices of the 20th generation and is still getting audiences of thousands. Now go back to listening to your auto tuned bullshit
If I had a time machine, this is the first place I would go. Well... this or seeing them at the Cavern Club... or maybe seeing them in Hamburg... Arrrrrrg I can't decide!
At age 5- I asked what are the Beatles? My mom kept talking about watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Amazing all the screaming! So exciting, I fell in love.
I remember seeing this show live on TV. I was watching the show with my mom and dad not knowing they were on or even who they were. Then they came on. I had never seen or heard anything like them. I have every LP and most of their CD's.
They really werent good singers, they were flat and off key at times,,,,but to perform live it was the best they could do back then. Paul really sounded bad....I mean come on he couldnt sing on that show.
Who would've thought these ''four youngsters from Liverpool'' would within the next 6 years build an amazing career and forever establish themselves as the best band in the human history.
Watching this brings back the night it was first aired...all of 7 yrs old and totally wowed! Incredible talent. And what really rocks??? My kids dig it too!
Can someone explain to me how the Beatles look so young here, but in later years, like their performance on the roof, they look atleast 15 years older.Plus they were only a band for 7 years? This always confuses me.
@TheFabFour11 its because the fact that they did almost every drug there is aged them a lot. here they , were probobly pretty clean. type in the long and winding road. thy all look atleast 15y older because that was towards the end of their reign.
A very Paul centric American debut. Two Paul songs in a row, then a Paul and John song. He definitely seemed to be presented as the "frontman" of the group here. Interesting
I was watching the ed sullivann show 48 years ago tonight and having my life forever changed as I recieved mass enlightenment. along with everyother young person in america.never a time like before....never been one since. If you were there you know. if you weren't you can only imagine. the beatles are the best part of being a baby boomer.
48 years ago today the music world changed forever as America was introduced to an act from England, an act which became the greatest band in the history of music. As Mr. Sullivan said, "Ladies and Gentlemen...THE BEATLES!!!"
Thank you so very much for posting this video! I was right there in the audience at the first appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. In fact, I appear in several of the audience shots ... !!! Seats were limited, as you can imagine. While standing on line waiting for the theater to open its doors, everyone was discussing how they got their prized tickets. Mine came through Judith Crist, film critic for the NY Herald Tribune.
Simple, effective rock and roll that still holds up. Brian Epstein once told reporter Larry Kane that the kids of 2000 would be listening to the Beatles. As evidenced by the number of kids I saw at a performance of RAIN, was he ever right!
I'm a fully grown 17 year old male. But if I had the opportunity to be in that audience, I'd be screaming louder than every single one of those girls hahaha
Very nice i remember watchin this on livin room floor in 64 Dad n mom too they just groan i was 7years old n love it then in black n white also....ah old memorys never die folks!
Wow, what a memory to have and be able to tell your kids and grandchildren that you saw them on the Ed Sullivan show the first time they performed over there, when you were a kid yourself.
Funny how Paul went ''1,2,3,4, c'mon'' and they just went with it. And it all went perfect. Today bands rehearse for like a hundred hours and then they use playback anyway.
I was at a boring ass diner party...I started talking to this fat, ugly old lady just for the hell of it. After a couple of minutes I mentioned something about The Beatles, I don't even know why, and she says " such nice young boys". She then tells me that she was sitting in the THIRD FRICKING ROW at this show. Then her even uglier sister comes over and tells me how they hung out with them in New York while they were in town. Turns out there Dad was president of CBS at the time. You never know..
all my lovin is still one of my favorite beatle songs. such a wonderfull arrangement. rock song with a country lead (check out george trying to imitate chet atkins with the lead) and back to rock. i understand that it was playing in the emergency room when john was brought in after he had been shot.
@beatlejim64 What ?The Stones did not know of the existence of the Beatles Love me do it came out, plus they already were taking place in London, in any case without the chicago blues the Stones would not exist. On the rest of these wrong because The Who are fans of the Stones, like Zep, Dylan took more fron the Stone than that of the Beatles or perhaps there is a song called Like a Beatle? . sorry by inglish
I was just turning 12 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Before I saw this telecast, I had absolutely no idea who they were. Wow did they open my eyes. As I understand it, Ed Sullivan hired plants to scream not lnowing how popular they were. He was shocked to see the entire audience going nuts!
What a fucking song!! When George breaks into that Chet Adkins shit, I went crazy. NO ONE HAD EVER DONE THAT BEFORE! Then George did that Spanish lick in that 2nd song. I sat in front of the T.V. that night and my life changed. I was 10 years old and went onto a nice career as a rock drummer and then a world wide biographer. And it was all because of the night the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show. By the way, old Ed looked like your neighborhood mortition.
Since 1964, no one has ever changed history, the world, or music like the Beatles did!
After the tragidy of the Kennedy Asassination on November 22, 1963 the U.S. was cast into a great fear of total destruction of the world. And then The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show on February 9th,1964, and fear was turned to hope, and love, once again! One fact that shows this is a fact is that during that hour, not one crime was reported in New York City! Amazing fact!
@musdeemx Not to mention after the tragic deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper in 1959, and Elvis going into the army a year earlier and then starting a movie career, rock music had really started to decline in the early '60s. It was mainly just cutsey bubble gum type male singers and girl groups from 1960-63. The Beatles brought rock n roll back in a big way in '64.
@baseballeddie1177 All these guys were xlnt musicians, even then! Abbey Road shows what great musicians and writers they really became, and don't forget the genius of George Martin!
@TheBluesnbob Yes...George Martin was a musical genius...i think[correct me if i am wrong]he convinced them to use orchestration...although as we see here they were brilliant without it...it added a new and exciting dimension to their studio recordings...George Harrison had some technically brilliant ability...a one of a kind player...and Ringo...so under rated...i love his style...so many creative runs from verse to chorus to verse...The perfect drummer for the Beatles.
There you go. I "like" all their "periods". Seriously I like it all, I love some of it. I'm over 60 years old and I was old enough to watch it as a teen. I was a magical era. Jim
I was in boot camp with the Canadian Air Force at the time. I called home on my regular Sunday phone call. The first thing my Mom said was, "Did you see the Beatles tonight?" Well, I had on the TV in the Airman's lounge, but frankly I was too tired from training to take notice. But, did I take notice after I got through training!! Changed the world of music!!
im watching this on a computer screen and im losing control i just can't just imagine being in that audience at that time.i'm 14 and i'm proud to say that i'm completely in love with george.
@lookatpics I remember watching this with my parents and aunt and uncle in the living room on a Sunday evening! I was 8 or 9 . it was so great My Mom said they needed a hair cut. my Dad always thought they looked like nice young boys.lol
@jiminlhc woah, ok yeah they're definitely a studio band, but this is live performance at its finest right here. I dream to play this well live consistently, this is really good stuff! Tried and succeeded they did.
@jiminlhc I say that their earlier works were the best ones for performing live. "Please Please Me", "Do You Wanna Know a Secret?", even on up into "Help!" It must be remembered that they honed their skills by playing live, night after night, in Hamburg, Germany, for hours on end without rest and also later, in the Cavern Club in Liverpool. But after they stopped touring and really got into the studio and started experimenting with sounds...I must admit I do like that period better.
@jiminlhc Beatles, not a good "live" band. You need to check out the NME 1964 performance of Long Tall Sally. Mick Jagger called them the 4 headed monster... Beatles invented live performances!
@otterj6 You are right, I frequently hear people, who attended their concerts, say that they remember that the Beatles were a particularly good live band; and these are people who have become rockn'roll pundits not the former screaming girls. It must have been all those years of practice in the Cavern and Hamburg.
@fredmila Althougth I'm not an expert but they had some pretty memorable live performances - the 1965 Shea stadium concert was awesome, especially I'm Down. The main reason they because a 'studio band' was for many reasons - exhaustion, girls screaming and well, death threats. It didn't matter how good they were live - people just came to SEE them, not HEAR them
@otterj6 Yes but they ended up as a studio band because they wanted to and the real music fans did go to hear them but could not. There not just screaming girls in their concerts, you know, read some testimonials below.
In fact they were a "live" band (1960-1966= 6 years) longer than they were a "studio" band (1966-1970=some 4 years)
Everything was so nice back then...no tattoos, no piercings, few if any drugs and the music was bright and cheery...we sure do owe you Brits alot for these guys and their music. They provided such enthusiasm and good mirth....
I wonder how long it took for the boys to get a copy of this performance...considering there was no video or digital back then. Suppose at one point CBS must have snail mailed them an 8mm print of their performance.

The Beatles never were a good "live" band, much more of a studio band that tried to play their stuff live. I was there kids, I'm past 60.

@jiminlhc woah, ok yeah they're definitely a studio band, but this is live performance at its finest right here. I dream to play this well live consistently, this is really good stuff! Tried and succeeded they did.

@jiminlhc I say that their earlier works were the best ones for performing live. "Please Please Me", "Do You Wanna Know a Secret?", even on up into "Help!" It must be remembered that they honed their skills by playing live, night after night, in Hamburg, Germany, for hours on end without rest and also later, in the Cavern Club in Liverpool. But after they stopped touring and really got into the studio and started experimenting with sounds...I must admit I do like that period better.

@jiminlhc Beatles, not a good "live" band. You need to check out the NME 1964 performance of Long Tall Sally. Mick Jagger called them the 4 headed monster... Beatles invented live performances!

@otterj6 You are right, I frequently hear people, who attended their concerts, say that they remember that the Beatles were a particularly good live band; and these are people who have become rockn'roll pundits not the former screaming girls. It must have been all those years of practice in the Cavern and Hamburg.

@fredmila Althougth I'm not an expert but they had some pretty memorable live performances - the 1965 Shea stadium concert was awesome, especially I'm Down. The main reason they because a 'studio band' was for many reasons - exhaustion, girls screaming and well, death threats. It didn't matter how good they were live - people just came to SEE them, not HEAR them

@otterj6 Yes but they ended up as a studio band because they wanted to and the real music fans did go to hear them but could not. There not just screaming girls in their concerts, you know, read some testimonials below.
In fact they were a "live" band (1960-1966= 6 years) longer than they were a "studio" band (1966-1970=some 4 years)

I wonder how long it took for the boys to get a copy of this performance...considering there was no video or digital back then. Suppose at one point CBS must have snail mailed them an 8mm print of their performance.
