The Beatles - I Feel Fine

14 August 1965: The Beatles' fourth Ed Sullivan Show

The Beatles had wowed US television audiences during their first three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, recorded in February 1964 during their first American visit. On this day they made a fourth and final appearance.

They were driven to CBS-TV's Studio 50 in the morning of 14 August 1965, in a convoy of limousines. Rehearsals took place from 11am-2pm, as The Beatles were unhappy with the initial sound balance and continued work until they were satisfied. A dress rehearsal took place from 2.30pm in front of a studio audience of 700, and the show itself was recorded from 8.30pm.

The Beatles performed six songs: I Feel Fine, I'm Down, Act Naturally, Ticket To Ride, Yesterday and Help!.

There was a short break after Act Naturally, after which The Beatles returned to perform the remaining three songs with a different stage set. Ticket To Ride included a lengthy introduction during which the cameras panned to each of the group. Paul McCartney sang Yesterday with a pre-recorded string trio backing, after which John Lennon remarked "Thank you Paul, that was just like him". Lennon, meanwhile, forgot some of the lyrics to Help!. The edition of the The Ed Sullivan Show was screened on 12 September 1965 at 8pm EST. Other acts making an appearance were Cilla Black, Soupy Sales, Allen and Rossi, and Fantasio the Magician. The broadcast received a 60% share of the night time audience.

Despite being their final live appearance, in future years The Beatles gave a number of promotional clips to be debuted on The Ed Sullivan Show.

@Coleaptera I love the feedback in the beginning of the song

Most of the Beatles have hair that is a little bit longer. IMO it makes them look even more hot. That might make all the girls in the audience even more excited. Yet Paul has hair that is still relativly short, but he's still so beautiful. It is ironic that the one who changed in appearence the least happens to be the one rumored to be dead and replaced. It is more obvious in Magical Mystery Tour. I believe Paul survived through the time of the Beatles and still lives now.

I love this show. I enjoy watching the Beatles on theEd Sullivan Show. This is part of the last episode. The episode is diffrent because it was aired quite a bit later. "I Feel Fine" is one of my favorite Beatles songs.Many of the other songs are on one of my favorite Beatles albums, Help!
