[BOBkropkaPL]

One person is a fool

[Athabina]

Seems that John's microphone is either off or turned down!

[jesusroxyouknowit]

Its funny people say the beatles suck HA you don't see crowds going crzy lik that anymore. I don't. Do you???

[al1936ful]

It always freezes in the same place, about 2:10 minutes into the video!

[John1948OneC3]

@al1936ful Not for me. I wonder if it has to do with the size of your cache. Try pausing in until the full thing loads and then watch. I'm pretty low-tech so this may not be the answer...

[iLuvDevonBoStiCK]

Ahhh,these were the happy days

[Juliaflo]

Long live Edward Vincent Sullivan.

[beebop333]

it was like aliens had landed in new york , thew beatles changed everthing !

[diboimat50]

This was the start of the evolution of music in America. I lived in CT. when the Beatles came to NY. Nearly 50 years later I have about 20 or so of their albums.

[GoingCamando20]

who's the band playing at the after party?

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

Never will forget this date, Feb 9 is my birthday, celebrated number 11 on this night, best present i got that year, and perhaps put me on track to become a singer and musician 5 years later when i first picked up a harmonica after listening to Paul Butterfield

[arilalala58]

2:45 hahaha i love the one guy in the audience who doesn't care, and the rest are just crazy screaming girls =)

[The6thSimpson]

were their instruments tuned down slightly?

[lissy11228]

awwwwww ringo is the cutest!!!<3

[captainblack1967]

No. This is not the full performance.

[John1948OneC3]

@captainblack1967 Tell me more. What's missing?

[captainblack1967]

@John1948OneC3 They did I Saw her Standing There between She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand, and Ed Sullivan informing the audience of the wire from Elvis is the first thing he said on the show

[John1948OneC3]

@captainblack1967 I wonder why it was cut from this clip? I guess I should just be thankful for what I have.

[BeatlesArchivesHD]

@John1948OneC3 There is a lot more than this!, about 25 minutes worth of the beatles performing. This is the first part and the second part is also easily available via bootleg dvd's. I happen to obtain a copy of one of them so i'll upload it.

[CAMoretti2006]

I want to know where some of the people in the audience are today. Imagine...we did not know how successful the Beatles would ever be.......

[DEEBIC021]

for once, no dislikes on a beatles video!!!!!

[John1948OneC3]

@DEEBIC021 So far. But don't poke the bear.

[ticoshell13]

@John1948OneC3 hahaha "poke the bear" too late someone disliked :(

[sickpoola]

02:22 :))))

[John1948OneC3]

@sickpoola She's enjoying herself!

[yonoquieroESTAMADRE]

How called the song heard in the bar where they are?

[John1948OneC3]

@yonoquieroESTAMADRE The song is Money (That's What I Want). It was originally recorded by Barrett Strong on the TAMLA label. The Beatles, and many others, covered it later. I can't tell who's singing it in this clip because the audio is not too clear.

[cjohncan]

Great guitar solo George, 3:55

[MissMyrnie]

I still remember sitting with my sister and Dad watching this amazing moment in history. Still gives me goosebumps. I'm still a huge fan!

[allyouneedislovelala]

6.01 <- love this moment :D

[DancerProductionsx3]

my God, i love Paul. <3

[MarCanada35]

Imagine, Elvis wishing the Beatles luck! Wow. They are the greatest, most influential band of all-time. I watched Blackeyed Peas during the Super Bowl and couldn't help but think: Where have all the good groups gone. There will never be another Beatles.

[Asweezy411]

@MarCanada35 Have you listened to Mumford and Sons.. They are amazing and a breath of fresh air in a world of pop music.

[mongreletf]

It was 47 years ago today...

[John1948OneC3]
