Ladies and Gentlemen.... The Beatles!

- In the video today, we're looking at the real first time the Beatles were shown on U.S. television, which was actually before their massively more famous appearance, as well as covering the lead up to that famed event in history and what happened after.
We'll never see another band that makes this kind of impact on both music and the world's culture.
Paul Simmons I’d argue that several have made that sort of impact since the Beatles. The difference being that today we are accustomed to ubiquitous marketing, and television is a constant promoter of cultural movers and shakers. In 1964 most people only had three or four channels to choose from, most shows had a rural setting, and the appearance of these guys with accents from a foreign land and singing music they never heard before was overwhelming in a way most would come to expect afterwards.
K ris I disagree. Who? Your argument has valid points, but, who?
@@redram5150 I'm guessing you aren't old enough to remember them in their first North American run. They were truly unique in their effect on music and culture. It was almost like doing acid the first time. You were never the same again.
Ummm have you not heard of BTS? I do realize this was a year ago lol p.s. I'm not a BTS fan but I have watched a similar reaction to this band as was made towards the Beatles
@@kiramiller568 A few really good bands have a huge effect on the generation they play to and maybe BTS falls into this group. However The Beatles were different. They affected everyone. Do you think BTS music will be playing in elevators in fifty years? Will there be BTS cover bands in 50 years? After they played on Ed Sullivan it was a paradigm shift. Not only did music change, but the way ppl looked at it was different. It's impossible to explain to anyone who didn't experience it firsthand.
Unless you were old enough to be conscious in 1964, you absolutely cannot fully grasp the utter earth-shattering experience of the Beatles arrival on the American music scene, especially in New York for that first Sullivan performance. There was never anything even remotely like it before, or since.
Oh my days, I've slipped into an alternate dimension where Simon hosts EVERY RUclips channel
Give it time...
I was thinking the same...😂. But I’ll keep subscribing to every one he does!👍
Simon is part of RUclips Superfriends 2020, along with FlemLo Raps and Mike from List 25, as well as Mikes friends Emma and Tristan. Unbeatable!
Plinkitee As I said in another post, I thought the name of the site had changed to SimonTube.
Mango T Simon can get me interested in topics I have no interest in.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. They changed the life of everyone who lived through that era.
I got my first Beatles record when I was 11 in 1965. That 45...I Feel Fine...flip side...She’s A Woman...was literally worn out as I played it over and over and over. My girlfriends would come over and we would close ourselves in my bedroom and put that record on. I was the only one with a Beatles record as my parents were cool with music but their parents believed listening to the Beatles was a straight trip to hell. Good memories, good times.
My mom has one of the initial DC release....that thing is her third child!
My parents borrowed a little Admiral TV from a friend so my teenage sister and I could watch the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show. It was such an important event. We were really swept away with excitement living in NYC during Beatlemania!
Well done! Big fan of the Beatles so thank you for this!!
Simon your voice is like Sir David Attenboroughs for me. You both make me so excited to learn about whatever it is you have to say. You sir are incredible
Comparing Sir David Attenborough's voice and gravitas to Simon Whistler is like comparing James Earl Jones to Pee-Wee Herman. Simon does a good job and the videos are interesting, but he makes a lot of errors, both in content and wording, and I've caught him plagiarizing from Thoughty2, perhaps others. He's good, I'll admit that. But like Sir David? Not even!
Mark Felton has that same effect
@@thomasdarby6084 you are entitled to you opinions as am I to mine. And I respectfully disagree with you. Im just going to leave it at that.
@@brandonness2809 It's because his British accent you think that. Also, he hasn't been knighted, he is but a commoner.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's 3 am! The Beatles, one of my favorite bands
It's only just past midnight.
Where are you guys? It's around 8:40am here in UK.
Great commentary on the Beatles.
I just found out about this channel on a TIFO video. I spend too much time thinking about how much time you spend recording videos. Love you Simon!
FINALLY, after begging you for months, a video about the Beatles! Thank you, oh thank you Simon.
I once owned the 45 She Loves You, on the Swann record label. Me and my family never missed an appearance by the Lads on the Ed Sullivan Show. That show was our Sunday night ritual for years. Then came the Rural Purge. Poor Ed, Lassie and other programs were cancelled, due to supposed changing viewer tastes.
Again, thank you Simon.
#RuleBrittania!
Wow swann? I’ve never heard of that one. I have a set of capital but I’ve never even HEARD of swann. I have a bunch of books The Fab Four.🤔. I’ll have to go look again. I bet you still owned THAT one!
From what Simon has said on other platforms, he still probably hasn't listened to the Beatles. He doesn't get it. Lol
Thanks to The Blessed Simon and team!
Saw all the performances on the Ed Sullivan show...I was 7yrs old...
I just subscribe to this channel to along with the other one thank you guys for the entertainment I appreciate it currently dying of cancer I have nothing better to do
I remember seeing that show on TV.
I wonder how many of these television appearances my mom watched. She's a Beatles fan to this day. She loves Paul McCartney. She tells me a story of how her grandmother took her the see The Beatles in 1964 and my mom's grandmother said in a few years no one would remember The Beatles! Boy was she wrong!
They did songs about the USSR and revolution, they are comrades
Let my people go-go.
Hold on...
I've always wanted to ask you why do you have such a fat face and that ridiculous haircut?
Back In The USSR was about hot Russian women, not about the Soviet government. Revolution was about "change", but very anti-violence.
@@just8310 because he's obsessed with cheese, liquor, & every expensive thing on the planet while his people starve, & face atrocities no one should ever face. He's the modern Hitler.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Bluecoats!
Oh, wait, wrong gig. I'll show myself out.
I can imagine the drop in viewers for the Ed Sullivan shows was parents saying “no way!” You watched them last week! We’re watching Lawrence Welk and that’s final!
The Ed Sullivan appearance was on my tenth birthday. The next day in school, it was all anyone was talking about, which was strange because no one had ever mentioned pop music or ANY music before. That same day I bought a Ringo doll (which I wish to God I had kept!). Something very big was happening in pop culture that would change everything.
Speaks volumes about Clay and Liston.
One thing you failed to mention that was very important to the Beatle's great success in America: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. True, the Beatles were popular and known before then, and the early arrangements for their US appearance were made as early as November 10, When JFK was killed, I was not quite 12 yet, and I can recall standing on a stool in my classroom hanging up posters when some girls came in crying, saying that the President was shot... and we all went down to the Audio-Visual room to watch the story unfold on the black and white TV. It was into this sadness that the Beatles came. The death of Camelot, and a new beginning... the Beatles gave us relief from the terrible grief felt by this Nation for the loss of our young President. Young people, especially, needed the Beatles and the hope and joy they offered.
That's awesome info. Such details tend to get lost to time, sadly.
Thomas Darby my earliest memory is of watching JFK’s funeral procession on the telly, I think because of the fact that my ma was crying inconsolably and I was only 3. My second earliest memory was of the whole fam watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Particularly my older sister who screeched a few times until Pop suggested that that was enough of that.
Well done! I watched that first episode back in 1964. My head is full of Beatle’s trivia. However, I didn’t know that Clay/Ali was able to dominate “the boys” that day. Think of the egos in that room. The Beatles and Ali became indomitable in their own fields. Thanks for an amazing story!
I was 9 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and that was the first time I had ever heard of them. My parents watched the show regularly so we kids did as well. I can still see them in my memory but all I remember about the music was screaming girls. Why do they scream!!!!???
Yes Parr was the first to debut The Beatles but Sullivan was first to do so live and that's what really counts.
A few corrections the Sullian Show--NEVER-in it's 17years- gave "top billing" to anybody. A girl by the name of Marsha was solely responsible for the Washington dj's playing of I Want to Hold Your Hand. She got to intro the record on air. In the fall of '63 Chicago's WLS charted Please Please Me . That same song on Dick Clark's rate-a-record- or whatever his new releases' were touted- was met with vast disapproval by the Philly kids. Clark was NEVER fond of them Never.
Makes me feel worn out, listenig to this guy.
Now on a similar vein you should do a video on the rise of BTS, the first act since The Beatles to have 3 consecutive releases top the Billboard 200 Album Chart within the span of a year.
The "live" American television debut.
Why would Capitol Record NOT want to release in the US when there's demand?
The head A&R man the guy making the calls at Capitol had a wife who made many decisions from time to time. After hearing I want to Hold Your Hand -she proclaimed the record to be nothing but trash.
My fellow Scousers!
Beetles video? I bet Eddie Deezen had something to do with it.
(Waits til credits)...Yup!
Anyone else still playing the actual white album?
Still the best band of all time. Trace the "influences" of any musical performer today and you'll find that they all make a stopover in Pepperland.
Ah, I dunno, I think most of the kids attempting to make music today have never heard of the Beatles and their music. :-(
@@gerfmon1 Again, follow the chain of influences. Kids today are influenced by X who was influenced by Y who was influenced by The Beatles....
Well in defense of Liston, his dog was pretty talented.
Ugh...the Beetles had to settle for meeting some guy named Cassius Clay rather than Sonny Liston?! Lol. Amazing how history works out...
Ed sullivan ended in 71,not 73. Just in case you cared.
Where did you ever hear that the Ed Sullivan Show was the first time the Beatles were seen on TV in the US? That's nonsense; this is the first time I have ever heard that statement made (and I was around for that show) and anyone who makes such a ludicrous statement had better do some fact-checking. The Ed Sullivan Show of 9 February 1964 was the first time the Beatles performed live on US TV - it was their American performing debut on this side of the pond. That's why it was, and why it remains, a significant event. Jack Parr merely aired a purchased clip.
I'm glad Sonny Liston got his butt whupped for the bad things he said about The Beatles! And especially what he said about Ringo!!
The Ed Sullivan Show ended in 1971 not 1973.
You’re incorrect. The Edward Sullivan Show did not run until 1973. The last episode was shown in 1971. Don’t you do your research for these videos??
The Beatles invented the music video.
I am going to guess they didn’t like Ali because they didn’t understand American humor. British humor is quite different from American.
I'm here first?
Hellooo....
Shit
Nope
Epstein is pronounced Ep-stine, not Ep-Steen.
I never did like Ali, he was just a big bully and a coward afraid of going to war.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles! ... suck.
The slow pan sucks. There is video of this stuff. Sucks. Sucks.
I only came here because of your morbid sense of humor.
This guy talks TOO fast! Couldn't watch this.
To be fair, he has multiple channels. So, his talking speed is necessary to be able to put up the quantity of videos he does.
Jaqueline do you have learning difficulties
This guy talks so fast. Never before in my life have I so disinterested in hearing about the Beatles.😵💫😔
