Those tickets for the Ed Sullivan show were golden. They were a gift from my grandfather. Outside the theater, we stood on line grasping our tickets, each one excited to see the Beatles. I'm right there in the group of screaming fans :-) Fifty years ago today.
Vrinda Kanchan My grandfather worked for the Artists & Writers Club, directly across the street from the Herald Tribune Building. Judith Crist, the arts critic, was a customer and gave him the tickets.
Talk about having the right connections. I wish my generation had something as memorable as this happen for them. I can only imagine what it was like to sit in the audience at the theater that night, or to see it on TV. Were you filmed in any of the audience shots?
Vrinda Kanchan Yes ... every time the media show a clip from that night, I am midway up, sitting to the left of my friend who is wearing black rimmed glasses. We are both wearing "jumpers". Everyone around us is screaming but we were more composed. It was a truly special night that I will never forget. Only wish I had saved the ticket stubs.

I met Donovan in 1964 at Redifusion TV Studio when his star was just starting to rise. I'm a few years younger and also a guitarist/songwriter. We shook hands and spoke for a couple of minutes. Of course, I've always also loved the Beatles. I was the 1st kid at my school to tell other kids about them. 1963 Bethesda MD. I still play some of their earliest tunes: 'If I Fell' and Harrison's 'Happy Just to Dance With You.'
LOL.....mufaro, that is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen/heard. Jackson doesn't come close...….he's not in the same league as The Beatles!!! LOL!!!!
Yes it`s true The Beatles are the BEST band on the planet🌎. Four lads that shook the world!!!! They will never ever be surpassed no matter how hard other bands try. We will be long gone, but The Beatles will never be forgotten. They will always be remembered. I liked music, but they made me LOVE music and of course I saw The Beatles TWICE IN PERSON when I was a kid when they came to Chicago. One concert was at Comiskey Park and the second concert was at the Chicago Amphitheater. I WAS THERE!!!! When The Beatles came on stage it was to die for. I wouldn`t have missed it for the world. Had the BEST time of my life. John, George we love you, we miss you😢. Rock them in Heaven🎸🎸. As Ringo would say....Peace and Love✌💗
I love what Donovan says in the last few seconds of this video, and he might be right, because they sure meant allot to my life, and I have always put the Beatles in my number 1 spot of best bands of all time, and I don't think anyone will ever equal them in the near or distant future, 50 years since they came to America and it seems like people keep appreciating them more and more as time goes by, unlike most bands that people couldn't careless about a 5 years after they come out
Great comment. If $$ is any indication of their social value, to think Paul McCartney and John Lennon were worth ~$700 million each in 1967 is simply incredible! Yes, I'd say one of the best, if the best band of all time! And, of course, some of that credit needs to go to Brian Epstein, who was probably as much of a genius in "honest management" as we've ever seen.
@@ibedsmn more than some. You have to keep in mind that IF Brian Epstein hadn't had the determination and to never give up finding a recording contract for them, we would have NEVER had the Beatles. After the failed Decca records audition, there wasn't much left, but Brian pushed on and we also have to thank George Martin who was at Parlophone records which was a subsidiary of EMI, who gave them a chance simply because they were so charming (his words). So even though the Beatles were blossoming talents, it was NECESSARY to get a recording contract in order for them to continue to evolve. EMI had turned them down and sent them over to Parlophone. If George Martin also said, no, it would have been the end of the road, They would have gone back to Liverpool and either continued playing local venues or might have dissolved the group and just look for "normal" jobs. I can't IMAGINE the world WITHOUT the Beatles because they have been there since I was 17, I am 75 now and I love them even more than I did the first time I heard them and saw them on Ed Sullivan, something that I thought woud never be possible after 58 years. TO QUOTE a line near the end of the recent movie "YESTERDAY" ...."all I know is a WORLD WITHOUT THE BEATLES is INFINITELY WORSE." When I heard that line in the theater I broke down and cried. That line summed up PERFECTLY how I felt and how ANY die hard fan of the Beatles would feel.
I was 2 1/2 years old when they first played Ed Sullivan, and I DO remember watching it with my parents. I can say, definitively, that it changed my life even though I was just a little kid.
If there is actually a multiverse - I’m so lucky to be in the one where the Beatles happened the way they did - basic mathematics dictate that something special will come along once and I believe that thing for our universe was the Beatles x
I was 7-1/2 at the time and my father was staunchly anti rock 'n roll so we didn't watch it. In the 60's I knew more about Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman than I did The Beatles. I was never a big Beatles fan for all my life....until....I took up guitar when I retired. Now I'm watching RUclipss of them playing and instructional videos. Working on All My Loving and I Feel Fine right now. Finding out that John was a fantastic rhythm player! Oh well....never too late!
Liverpool is *not* a provincial hick town and never was. It is a large city and in the Beatles time probably the world's largest port. And this guy is a historian and he is British as well! My oh my!
I visited Liverpool recently to check out the home town of the Beatles. I was totally amazed at how pretty, clean, and beautiful this town/city was/is! Our hotel was right close to the sea with very pretty vistas. The Cavern club just walking distance. Penny Lane, John Lennon’s childhood house, etc. etc. Everything seemed so nice. And I always had this image of Liverpool being this grimy blue-collar city that the Beatles came from, or rather ‘overcame’! It was nothing like that image, at least the one I had in mind!
I don't remember them from The Ed Sullivan Show, but I do remember their press conferences. The were smart, cheeky, irreverent, and downright funny. There were like a breath of fresh air and were most welcome to cheer up the Americans after the terrible tragedy of the JFK assassination.
If I live 70 more years I'll still be a Beatles Fan They are the Bomb They can blow me away any time They play and sing the best songs I've ever heard far as Rock and Roll and their togetherness and friendships are great also They dress nice and I love their Haircut's Oh yeah Oh Yeah Yeah Beatles
My memory is that they began to advertise the Beatles with teaser lines at the beginning of the Fall of 1963. They would say things like "the British are coming." We didn't know what they were talking about at first. The British are coming? We thought that was settled before 1776. And, by November, they gave more information regarding who they were talking about. I wonder if anyone else has memory of all the advertising CBS did during the Fall of 1963 besides me? I have never heard it mentioned in any of the videos about them. But, I distinctly remember their coming to the US being advertised a lot. That is why there were such crowds. I was one of the millions watching that night as they were on the Ed Sullivan Show. CBS was the only broadcast channel we could pick up, so that is what we watched, and Ed Sullivan came on, I think it was Sunday nights. My brother and I watched Lassie first and ate our Campbell's Soup for supper, because that's what Lassie ate, and then when Ed Sullivan came on, we watched his show with my parents. I remember my Dad remarking on the Beatle's long hair. Now, it doesn't even look that long. The girls screamed for Elvis, so we weren't surprised by the screaming. I thought they were cute but couldn't figure out the fuss as we also had boy bands in the US, but I figured they must be special like Elvis because all the girls were screaming.
What happened is the most popular rock 'n' roll disc jockey in New York named Murray the K pumped up the hype of the Beatles. He was the Paul Revere in Beatles history. That is why America and New York knew what was coming.
The Beatles..healed American youth. After president Kennedy was Killed..! They were the Best Rock Band in the world....Period..! Thank you so much.. John/ Paul/ George & Ringo..!!!
Actually, there’s another story. A young girl heard them on another CBS story and asked the major New York radio station to play their song/songs. A week or two later, She was invited to introduce them on the air “album“ and it took off.
Paul: Thanks for the memories (circa Bob Hope). You gave us the Sullivan show. We all wanted mo'. T'was a Magical Mystery Tour for sure And it never was a bore. Thank you so much. 😂😍👌
Being 7 years old, when President Kennedy was assassinated, I still remember thinking how there seemed to be sadness everywhere. My parents, my friend's parents, people you saw at the grocery store, it just seemed to be all around you wherever you went. Taken in the context of the period when we had the Cuban missile crises the year before, realizing the potential implications of a Cold War, that on a moments notice could turn into a Hot Thermonuclear War, that had the potential to destroy the entire world. It just seemed overwhelming at times. Then out of the blue, these four "aliens" walked down the stairs, getting off of a Pan American flight from England and for first time in what seemed like an eternity, there was finally something to be excited and happy about. Their press conferences were hilarious and silly. All the employees that cut hair at my father's barbershop were all saying they were going to quit the first time someone asked for a Beatle's haircut. This concept of rebellion just added even more excitement to the whole thing. We were primed and ready for them, just what the doctor ordered.
William Blair I was also 7 when JFK was assassinated, horrible time even through the eyes of a small child. I had just turned 8 when I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan that night. Remember it like yesterday. Everyone talked about in school the next morning in my 2nd grade class!
I think farming, where we're able to settle down grow our own food and livestocks.....After all, if we never had ' farming ' we all would still be ' hunters and gatherers '. lol
I had 2 older sisters who were Elvis mad,then came along the Beatles,i dont think they played an Elvis record again after hearing the Beatles,and it came as no surprise that Elvis tried to get Nixon to ban them in the us,to knock Elvis off his perch at the time they must have been good,today we know just how good, THE BEST BY MILES.
What amuses me, was how cleancut and smart the Beatles looked, with Black suits and Ties, with white shirts. They looked more like Undertaker's than Rock stars. Compared to later, when they introduced so many wild fashion ideas to the world. ALSO---the fact that they always BOWED from the waist, after every song performance. So unexpected. But, that was Brians influence from the beguinning. Forget the smelly shabby Cavern, look like you are starring at the London Pallandium.
The Beatles pulled America and the world out of the deep dark depression of the JFK assassination. I truly believe they were an act of God. Instantly, the world was transformed from tears, to cheers. Laughter and screaming joy. Wow. I will never forget it as long as I live.
The Beatles should have a monument at Mount Rushmore. They pulled America out of its grief when JFK was assassinated. I was 12 when Kennedy got shot so I know.
The Beatles surpass Elvis, Elvis is nothing more than a cover artist compared to the Beatles. Elvis Presley, king of rock and roll, more like the king of nothing, but the Beatles are the true kings of rock and roll.
Brian Epstein: "I may not have experience with managing but The Beatles are going to have me as their manager, and they're going to become bigger than Elvis!" Everyone: "That's never going to happen! This is another one of your silly ideas. It's going to fail, you are going to be bored once again, and you'll be back working in your family's business again." *(John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison are in a different look, they are in a record deal with Parlophone records, Pete Best is kicked out of the band in August 1962 and Ringo Starr becomes the new drummer, the Fab Four takes popularity all over England in 1963, and in February 7th 1964, The Beatles land in JFK International airport where dozens of fans are screaming for them.)* Me years later: "I think Brian was right and those people who told him he couldn't do it owe him an apology."
I love the Beatles with all my heart, but I must say, they were not the best thing that "ever happened" to the planet. That distinction belongs to the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and rose from the dead, to give us eternal life. Nothing can be better than that.
Sure... If you believe in all of that. For everyone that believe in other religions, it may be another idol. The Earth is full of them... As for me, I longly prefer the ones that give love and hope live, HERE, people mixed among us... That's my love. Something I KNOW, not "believe" (or not), it's there.

There aren't enough words to describe the Beatles, the band that changed the world forever 💖
Laura Kenney You're so right Laura. They're aren't enough words to describe them. They were so incredible and ahead of their time!
I couldn't agree more, I don't think any other band could follow their footsteps so easily
You had to be there. Thank goodness (or whatever) I WAS.

100% they were a gift from god

Not often mentioned is, they revolutionised recording techniques too, with multitracking etc etc, aided of course, by genius, George Martin.

Not in our remaining life times nor in our children's life time will we ever witness something like this again.

Donovan you're right..The Beatles were the best thing that ever happened in this planet...
All of those early albums made on a two-track recording device. Amazing. As a band, their sound was incredibly "tight".
George Martin had a lot to do with that.
Live long The Beatles!!
How true it is: The Beatles were 'the perfect storm' when it came to a band.

He's from southern England, unfortunately a condescending attitude towards northern England still prevails down there.

They were a much needed distraction, after the evil deed of the JFK murder, but especially, for the young.
The bands/artists that changed the world; Elvis, The Beatles, Nirvana. These 3 revolutionized music and pop culture.
I would defanitly say Elvis and The Beatles then Michael Jackson those are my top three

And the dream died December 8th 1980.😢😢😢
1:36 Their "Stamp Out Detroit" campagne kinda worked, didn't it? Eventually.
And then there was music!
At that time in American History. Americans needed the Beatles. They delivered !
What amuses me, was how cleancut and smart the Beatles looked, with Black suits and Ties, with white shirts. They looked more like Undertaker's than Rock stars. Compared to later, when they introduced so many wild fashion ideas to the world. ALSO---the fact that they always BOWED from the waist, after every song performance. So unexpected. But, that was Brians influence from the beguinning. Forget the smelly shabby Cavern, look like you are starring at the London Pallandium.
It will cheer people up! And it DID!!!! We were able to turn the page.
The Beatles pulled America and the world
out of the deep dark depression of the JFK
assassination. I truly believe they were an
act of God. Instantly, the world was transformed
from tears, to cheers. Laughter and screaming joy.
Wow. I will never forget it as long as I live.
"Four shaggy minstrels".............that look like virginal choir-boys today !
More than a once in a life time. And it's funny, because to THEM, it was no big deal! John even said it.
