The Beatles' second appearance on February 16th, 1964, was broadcast from The Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. John Moffitt, the Ed Sullivan assistant director, remembers how fans took over the venue, and when it was time for the Beatles to perform, a teaming throng of teenagers blocked the group's access to the ballroom. As security guards wedged a passageway through the crowd for The Beatles, the show was being broadcast to America. Unaware of the delay, Ed was about to introduce them. Moffitt recalls...
"Ed is saying 'And now, here are—(a beat)—The Beatles right after this.' And he went to a commercial. And during the commercial, finally at the end, The Beatles broke through, they came running up the aisle, they got hooked up, and I believe there was one microphone that didn't get hooked up. But you couldn't tell because all you could hear was the screaming."
Audio difficulties aside, the boys plowed through "She Loves You," "This Boy" and "All My Loving" for their first set, then turned the stage over to the comedy team of Allen and Rossi ("Hello, Dere"), singer/dancer Mitzi Gaynor, acrobats The Nerveless Knocks and monologist Myron Cohen.
The Beatles returned to close the show with performances of "I Saw Her Standing There," "From Me to You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand." After they finished, Ed called them over and congratulated them, passing along word that legendary composer Richard Rodgers was one their "most rabid fans."
Again, The Beatles on Sullivan proved a huge ratings success, nearly duplicating the record-setting performance of their first appearance. The second show also attracted 40% of the American population.
