The Beatles, first time on U.S. TV

[hermeeown]

and the public have never moved on :)

[deanguy66]

"Their music is no different than anything else, only louder". I love it. The "establishment" really didn't get it at the time.

[Mardawar]

When they're interviewing them lol Paul stop it

[crunktastic14]

&peace;



[cliffburton333]

quite a run indeed

[PERROORION19]

BOJHUJTIBNJJKOTBILNIKJOK

[cory1342]

I want to go to Beatleland!!

[boggyb]

'this is ringo' haha brilliant

[tvcelebrity90210]

The Beatles are & will continue to be the greatest band in ALL the world! Who was YOUR favorite Beatle & favorite song? ☮ David Harrison Levi - STARMAKER☆ ♥ ♪♫

[thebeatles962]

awww abit of John and Paul lovin 2:18

[ohdearcaptain]

i'm just laughing over george going "well this is ringo.."

[observer9670]

This was run on the CBS Morning News on November 22, 1963. A shorter version was scheduled to run on that night's Evening News, but obviously the events of the day pre-empted that.

[RollOverBeethoven63]

hahaha if they can say all that about justin bieber then i will think of him as being "popular"

[jualkyn]

5000 dollars a week...........OMFG doesn'tt sound like much but back then that was insane amount of money

[unclesamfatg]

as revolutionary as Jimi Hendrix!

[beatlesXXXluver101]

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...those are the Beatles, those are" XD

[APRIL141958model]

at 0:32 "...and this is Beatleland, formerly known as Britain..." I LOVE that! And of course he could have later said the same of the USA!

[loltion]

Haha. The Beatles saved the British corduroy industry... how important that was. I guess it was all worth it in the end then. :)

[jossujb]

Aww, George trying to make sure Ringo gets attentiontion too aww <3

[inkey2]

I was in the catholic schools when the beatles hit it big....and the nuns just HATED the beatles.......yet another reason for me to love the Beatles

[goldenslumbers13]

I love how at 3:41 George tries to get Ringo involved...they all had such a strong friendship.

[BeatlesIsWhatWeNeed]

OMG George's Liverpool accent... That freaked me out... *.*

[roman14032]

paul was cuter, john was more clever,ringo was less thretening,but the charm of the beatles was really mostly george.

[roman14032]

alexander kendrik is a dumbass

[dorne]

They definitely had A run!!!

[Aprilshowersss]

NON music!!!!????

[genericgeorge]

I reckon with the right breaks, and a myspace site and luck... these guys could make a dent in the states....

[KaptKan1]

@genericgeorge Nah, they're just a passing fad; all the mainstream media said so back then.

[roman14032]

heres important,smart and sophisticated media "experts"music "experts' and sociology "experts" telling us the beatles suck and will never last.hmmmmmm..........

WE SHOULD CARFULLY LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS

then lol

[KaptKan1]

@roman14032 Well said! Every time the mainstream media trots out their "experts" and "officials" and "scientists" you should set your bullshit deflectors on 'High'. It was ever thus.

[roman14032]

how many kids have started bands in thier school days since 1963?all over the world,every school,every year,almost 50 years,yet a similar convergence of talent never occured again.I think if you just calculate the odds from that set of knowns.the only rational explaination is that they where an act of devine intervention and the best proof i've ever seen of the existance of god,who,aparrently,wants us to rock!

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE!

[dontreallycare3]

What i wouldn't give to be a teenager in 1964.

[KaptKan1]

@dontreallycare3 I was fifteen at the time. It had its ups and downs, believe me. It wasn't all rock 'n' roll music; there was a major war against Viet Nam being waged by the U.S. empire and the cops hated young people and attacked and beat us, et cetera. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of tiimes..."

On the other hand, we had the most creative, exciting music EVER. Every WEEK something totally new and astounding appeared, and the Beatles led the way. It was like. far out, man!

[m1kewithaone]

@KaptKan1 all i remember 'cause i was only 9, was the day before 2/964 i was listening to "april love" by somebody, a song by dean martin, i'm all shook up by elvis, and then, on 2/9/64, i heard 'i wanna hold your hand" and then, ..... the world was never the same again.

[LostCityisaBand]

haha 2:05-2:12 the girl in the black dress is having a fit and the girl to the right is just sitting there haha :D

[Manwithjeep]

Back then I tried to cut my hair to look like the Beatles and ended up looking more like Justin Bieber and did I look stupid or what?

[paperdollz100]

there will never be another perfect band with this much passion again !!!

[sicoticosandro]

LOL... what a failed "musichologists"

[Supaduck0]

And quite a run they had

[whathoney73]

corduroy ?

[TheDorr71]

Funny how this reporter and Ed Sullivan called them "boys" or "younsters", when they were in their twenties..

[albuorkka]

How come george is called the quiet beatle? I wouldn't bet on it, but on interviews and such I have seen George talking a lot more than Ringo

[acepigpup99]

the video on Beatles RockBand of them on their way to America for the 1st time is hilarious. they hear theirselves talk in a microphone and they're like cracking up, john being the funniest of them all. :L

[manc1962]

47 years later that crappy band from beatleland is all but forgotten whereas that tv presenter is revered and respected the world over.just check on youtube the billions of old broadcasts of his ,you,ll be staggered by the number of views he gets.

[fanof41]

'Wonder whatever became of that group?

[WeTechReview4u]

awwe 3:40 Geroge is like: This is ringo :), Poor ringo :s the most underrated drummer evarr

[mrstevehartman]

@WeTechReview4u So true, and not just for Ringo. Have you ever seen a rock band with the drummer included in the " front row " ? Naw, they are always shoved to the rear behind the rest of the guys ! Well, Ringo did leave his mark after all. Im sure he got plenty of coin out of it, even if the interviewers didnt ask for his opinions very often !!

[WeTechReview4u]

@mrstevehartman Yeah, he sure left a mark on John. When John was making his new album he kept nagging on the drummer saying "Why can't you play like Ringo instead? :( Play like Ringo!"

[mrstevehartman]

@WeTechReview4u Go Ringo !!

[inkey2]

@mrstevehartman the only drummer I ever saw positioned out in front of the band was "The Dave Clark 5".....but then again he "owned" the band so he could do what ever he wanted

[mrstevehartman]

@inkey2 Good point !

[huntergruntetr123]

Hahahah :) George trying to introduce ringo! "this is ringo" XD looove ya georgie!

[Heidibear76]

Quite a run indeed ...

[MusicAddictization]

Beetle just doesn't look right without an 'A' in it.(:

[crispbeer]

I could not stop laughing when, right at the end of the interview, George says "this is Ringo" because he hadn't said anything, and then the clip changes instantly. LOL.

[themillenia]

I am a really good speller and all, but after I got into the Beatles, I was wondering why they kept saying, it's Beatles with an A. Isn''t that how beatles is spelt. Then I forgot about the real Beetle spelling. LOL

[gianttoadstool]

"Quite a run" indeed! 

[JerichoDitch2]

the beatles walked right past me at the Pittsburgh airport in 1964 ... I was 6 years old...

[stevenlennon1979]

@JerichoDitch2 wow bro, thats canny lucky, amazing mate ...wish I had been around then...the greatest band that canged politics music culture fashion and peace for all, and they waalked right past you, thats WKD man. God bless

[WileERobby]

Wow... I feel so lucky to have lived during this time. I want to do it again.

[john365303]

After watching this video I remember and understand better why the "sixties" are considered a decade of revolt. I am so glad I was a part of it. I still have a problem with the "establishment".

[inkey2]

@john365303 yes, this to me was the beginning of then "60s"......1964. People today, who did not live through this can't imagine how so very radical their look and sound was. IT really started a social revolt

[RastafariPoet]

Beatle-Land, Beatle-Mania, Beatle-Fanclub, Beatle, Beatle!

[dbmcfc]

this is ringo

[skw33zr]

Non-music?

[Excalibur159]

AJAB SOOSOOL HAYE INA HASTAND

[Zimnyification]

"Well they probably will but you know, it depends how long it takes for them to get tired..."

I lol'd

[lianrilianri]

"We just hope we're going to have quite a run" Awww they had no idea what they were in for

[divingcometsmom]

I so remember this, I was all of 5 & did the jerk in our living room!

[Zimnyification]

@divingcometsmom Jerked in your living room :O

[MizzouSucks]

@divingcometsmom I was about 5 myself. And I do remember this. Until youtube, I was not sure that my memory was real. I don't think I recognized them as a musical group as such, just as something very bizarre and intriguing going on in England. I have a visual memory of the audience, the mania was striking to a 5 year old. When they appeared on Sullivan, my older sister went insane, screaming, pulling her hair, turning blotched red.

[blkhawk60]

46 years on, we all still love them :)

[Callmeslim11]

What A Ridiculous question... if we would ever get tired of the Beatles???

We Will Never Get Tired of Their music!!!

[flurry345]

i love their attitue towards all this pop stuff!

[Cozycriter]

"Sheepdog hairdo"??..LOL! I've never, ever heard it put that way. Wow..can you get a load of the mocking tone (it seems) that the reporter seems to have for our boys? Unbelievable. And describing all the psychobabble regarding their abilities vs. how The Beatles, themselves felt.. It's rather condescending, if you ask me. Obviously, the media at the time didn't seem to take them all too seriously. Well, time has proven that they were AND STILL ARE a force to be reckoned with. Go, Beatles, go!

[Tinewashere]

"hurr hurr, what a gimmick!" hahaha..

george harrison's accent is the most pleasant thing to listen to in the whole world.

[RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2]

that music was louder? wait til they hear death metal! and poor Ringo, he didnt get a chance to say anything in that interview. )-;

[superfob54]

Alexander Kendrick... does anyone else have the strong urge to punch this reporter in the fucking face?

[orchidgal8]

George is so cute in this interview

[cartoonfreak1877]

@orchidgal8 I agree!!! ;)

[superfob54]

"This is Ringo"- LMFAO!!!!

[pokemonperson2468]

I was sooo born in the wrong era :( I deserve to be there. I'm going to give up my dream of being as big as the beatles and make a tine machine

[stemvis]

@pokemonperson2468 people shouldn't say they were born in the wrong era. if you were around in the 60's youd be complaining that you cant watch beatles cos youtube hasnt been invented, then you'd be off to work with asbestos for 10 hours for three quid a week. we dont have it bad - they did

[pokemonperson2468]

@stemvis good point

[MysteriousDude1]

@scottmackeen "NOT"? :)

[scottmackeen]

Hahaha George at 3:38 "This is Ringo."

[superfob54]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah- LMFAO!!!

[Syzygy60]

i learned from all of them

[robertny]

First reports...November 1963, while US dealing with JFK, months before they came to America, which was Feb 1964. Great footage.

CBS news about The Beatles

Before Ed Sullivan and Jack Paar, first time on U.S. TV

[kdpflanders1]

They've had quite a run.

[jule12ify]

i love gergore vocie

[AxeManJax]

@jule12ify Is that the 5th Beatle? ;)

[PepperDr94]

Im from America and i dont think they're ANYTHING like pop music. I look at them in a 100% rock n roll way! The BEST rock band of ALL time the Beatles are.

[iplayforkeepsproject]

Do you think the public will get tired of you? The public is still madly in love with them.

[xCelsius451x]

"We just hope we can have quite a run", haha I think they have had much more than a run

[NowhereMan1966]

I believe this was supposed to have been broadcast on November 22nd, 1963, I think it was shown first in the morning,but later that day, the JFK assassination bumped this piece off the TV.

[GodExistsEternally]

"Inspired the sheepdog hair do."lol

I guess that's what they called in back then, before my time, but it must of been a big deal back then to have hair a little bit longer.

[SNIFFMYBADGER]

" depends how long until they get tired' Not sure if that will ever happen John!

[spidahMONKEY]

The Beatles don't just represent authentic British youth, they symbolize being authentic itself! :)

[smeh69]

4:37 George looks a lot like Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie.

...or Walla looks like George.

[CountVonPappenheim]

This is such an interesting interview to watch now. "Quite a run". The Beatles broke up 40 years ago and their run still hasn't ended. And the commentator was so condescending towards the Beatles and their fans, now he's the ridiculous one.

[eddyl3690]

We who are old enough to remember these times,are very lucky. It's just what this country needed at the time. Brings back lots of memories. I drove all night with my brother from Boston to miami. To try to get a look at them in Miami the police had the beach roped off where the went for a swim. It was a great time I was 15 yes old.

[Khultan]

@eddyl3690 I'm not from your era but I gave ya that first thumbs up.

[Stantzs]

Man It must have been wild to have been there way back in the 60's. Lennon was killed by some crazy guy over a decade before I was born and I first found out about them when Harrison died of lung cancer, when I was like 10 or 11 and my mom started playing their music all the time.

[kirbysuperstarsultra]

this was the twilight back then, except it was loved by everyone

[notonedrop]

Hahah, George.:) "This is Ringo."

[augustusdes]

This is good reporting. Quite accurate in its early analysis of the meaning of the Beatles..

[DanM25456]

Sometimes, the Beatles make me have second thoughts about the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber, until I have third thoughts. The Beatles might have been a "boy band," but they were the first. The concept of a boy band is something that can only be created once.

[emilyXcross]

Do you have any fears that your public eventually will get tierd of you and move onto a new favorite! I was born about 30 odd years after this! and The Beatles are my Favorite band! You Can't beat them!! xx

[beatlesnumber9]

What an exciting time to be alive!!!

[DreamerM]

The report is so condescending! "no different then conventional rock-and-roll...except maybe louder."

History dictates otherwise, sorry News Anchor Dude.

[TheBeatlesLady]

I just started crying. haha XD! <33

[Groundbase]

"we just hope we're gonna have a good run" hahaha

[hankaaron1961]

A clip of the Beatles where Ringo appears dull, boring and uncharismatic. Never would have thought that!

[JamesTKirkCobain]

they steal those haircuts from Jason Beiber

[jippo21]

@JamesTKirkCobain Jason beiber?? you mean Justin Bieber

[TheKaratekidGodzalo]

@JamesTKirkCobain they had those haircuts before he was alive

[tastethewake]

i love how its just john george and paul talking to the interviewer and then at 3:40 george goes "this is ringo" hahahahaha.

[ishu161]

@tastethewake lol....hadn't noticed that......funny,though Ringo normally isn't the type to sit back uninterested..

[VonFisch1]

@tastethewake Ha, ha, noticed that, too! Poor Ringo, George noticed they were leaving him out.

[sarabeth1410]

plz invent a time machine i need to watch the beatles in person :)

[RollaArtis]

I am so grateful to the Beatles for reviving the sagging corduroy industry.

[Zimnyification]

@RollaArtis lmao

[Rafflefull]

I love how John's lookin' at that weird shaped microphone. "What the hell is that?"

[cha2kat12]

Thumbs up if you want Ringo Starr for president!!

[papialeman]

Its like they are catching the unholy spirit the fans!! Awesome

[bashbrannigan]

The reporters from those always sound like such idiots. What the hell was he thinking when he asked "are you worried about your fans getting tired of you".

[jakeTW1996]

at least 20 times more popular then the jonas brothers at their times. hell if they around around now nobody would hear of the jonas brothers. wouldnt that be sweet?????!!!!!!

[random4life219]

"Do you think the public will ever get tired of you?"

We never did.

[UltimateMcCartneyFan]

3:41 George says "This is Ringo!!" LOVE THEM!!!!

[maxpowers518]

lol, the best part is when the reporter says something like "Don't you feel that the public will eventually get tired of you?"

[OscarLiu24]

"Some say they are the authentic voice of the proleterian" That was the funniest thing I ever heard in my life!!!!

[sptaaffe1977]

"yeah yeah yeah, those are the Beatles those are"..."some of the girls can wright"!!!!! Who is this guy?!

[sptaaffe1977]

@sptaaffe1977

Wright?..".Write"

!

[elmoeful]

@sptaaffe1977 Who the hell are the jonas brothers ?

[jonaspv]

"You haven't fear that your public will eventually get tired of you and move on to a new favourite?"

Now, 46 years later all I can say about that comment is: LOL!

BEATLES FOREVER!

[RockerMasked]

They was very modest....xD!

[SuperStigmata]

when was that ????

[esteban21022]

great video, I'm spreading my music with animations.

[ilovethebeatles44]

Gosh, they are beyond adorable :)

[NewBornVampiire]

Aww, George: "This is Ringo..." HAHAHAHAH! I adore them.

[Daniel2626100]

why cant we get info on the first dummer of the beatles ???????

[ThisisPunk]

kick-ass band.

[YouDonteverhavetodie]

google Tavistock + Beatles + coleman ..= Have fun!

[Moppa824]

John Lennon, we'll never get tired of the Beatles music.

[rougetwo]

i agree of course, but would they have been as impactive so soon if Kennedy was still around in 64, although probably facing possible impeachment/scandal over his sex life? i not so sure it was just kennedy's death that most biographers seem to evidence as the motivator behind their instant success and i m not sure at all kennedy wouldnt have picked up on them however remote.makes u think

[dewojet76]

i was born in june 18, 1942. i went to school with paul

[SuperYvetteallyoutub]

@dewojet76 omg how was he like

[MrHeinrichHimmler]

@dewojet76 liar.

[xiheartzacefron94x]

@dewojet76

my dad's like 2 months younger than you, he lived down the road from him :)

[rondenronde]

Aw george my love "This is Ringo"

best band ever in al time and room!

[rougetwo]

I often wonder whether John Kennedy ever saw this or was aware of the Beatles emerging success and influence before his fateful trip to Dallas in November 63.

[adamkincaid1234]

@rougetwo he couldn't have known. It was only because he was shot that the Beatles made it so huge Stateside. They needed something to cheer them up.

[firebreeze]

Brilliant! I've been searching for this historical broadcast. This is what Ed Sullivan watched, which really made him sit up and take notice of them. (Aside from his first sighting of Beatlemania at the Heathrow Airport.)

[funkster007]

sheep dog hairdo LOL

[MrMarkwolfe]

this reporter is a total douche bag.he should ease up.

[cvetlica3]

legends...

[siljebaben]

This is Ringo. heehee. Love it.

Ringo just keep smiling:D It's hard to choose a favourite. must be George or Ringo. :)

[PureEvilFilms]

Damn, this reporter doesn't seem to like The Beatles that much haha

[TheJaaaack]

1:05, Some of the girls can write. hahah

[HoganRox12]

Poor guys! all those girls swarming!! lol thnaks for it!

[00Jose00]

<----- "Oh this is Ringo <.<  LOL

[shanin425]

That girl looks like she's having a seizure jesus christ

[Bellyflops2]

Wow they let George talk in the early days.

[NonStopRocker]

nobody stopped George from talking...he just got fed up with the constant lame questions the press kept asking him.

[Smokinbonez]

At the end of this everybody was trying to figure out why everybody like them. Besides being good at what they did they wrote there own music and not the record companys. Which means it was what they wanted in there own style and interpatation of rock that was coming from America. True people were doing it here but not as much freedom as they were givin. RCA turned them down when they first heard them but later admitted they were dumb asses in the formal language of the day.

[beatlespaullover101]

if you watch ringo the whole interview he is smiling i love him hes always smiling even whens hes talking and drumming

[ilovegeorgeharrison1]

God I could watch George talk all day :) So precious and cute.

[cartoonfreak1877]

@ilovegeorgeharrison1 Omg!!! ME TOO!!!

[ASBfilms]

2:06-2:12

lol how the 1 girl is flippin out, yet the other is not amused

[beatlesbesot]

I saw this news clip way back when I was an adoring juvenile fan. Now I'm an adoring Senior fan! Loose interest? I think not!

[MadelinAro]

"This is Ringo.."

xD Oh George, you cutie.
