The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

It's Feb. 2023, and I'll be 69 years young soon-still rockin' to this timeless classic-whose with me?
I’m with you man .. 67.
I’m with you man .. 67.
With you totally!
It' s 2023 too, but December, 8th 😅
72.. I lived through that music scene. Nothing has matched it since.
Ed Sullivan was a visionary. I don’t think people realize how contra-versional these acts were back in the day. Ed was putting drugged out hippies on prime time TV and the younger crowds ate it up. I was only 6 but I can still remember the Ed Sullivan show vividly.
Carmine Appice beating those drums like they owe him money. Love it, and the whole thing.
LOL - Good one.
🤣
Much better than Brandon beating D.Trump out behind the woodshed...or did he? I heard he chickened out.
What an incredible performance. This was 15 years before I was born.
still listening to this in 2024
Me too.
Yup! April 2024. Memories of Middle School!!😊
Estou escutando do Brasil.. saudações ✌🏽
This is talent !!! No computers ! Pure hard talent
Dude this has to be considered the best Ed Sullivan performance. I'm blown away.
Imagine what all the old suits in the audience were thinking!
I remember seeing this live the night it aired on TV ... Absolutely Blown Away‼I've seen the Fudge live twice in the past 15 years. Once with the entire band while Tim was still playing bass., and later when they had to get a replacement for him due to his health issues when he couldn't do it anymore. Amazing concerts at the Sellersville Theatre in PA.
You are Right, This is the All time Best, They Absolutely Killed it!!
This, kids. This. THIS is how good we had it when it came to popular music.
sigh..oh my gosh, you're so right, we were so lucky 😌 I bout wore this album out 😁
This is lasting head banging rock ! Dig it baby. !!
@@PuffKitty the kids today really don’t care dude.
@@jimmy5634 exactly, just like the kids back in the 60’s didn’t care about the music from the 30’s and 40’s.
@@jimmy5634 Cause they're the most useless crop of stiffs to ever suck up our oxygen ....... music ceased to exist in the mid 90s ......
Born 1950,lived the hippie live,and all that came with it,and I’m still alive.
me too brother we were born at the right time...what a trip
hello !! ....me too....1951 in Austria....what a - ride -....we had it all....I'm still a proud hippie....
72y-old-Hippie-and-Yogi from Austria.... Love, Peace-&-Happiness ☮~el~🕉~mar~✝
Appice was I beliwve very underrated. He killed those drums. Best them with no mercy. Amazing drummer!!!
I am 63 years old and I was 8 years old when I saw this on Ed Sullivan. I remember because I did something wrong and was sent to my room. I watched it through the cracked door. Great memories. I also remember that Diana Ross and the supremes sang this song and was confused as to why this group,was singing this too. Funny how a kids mind thinks, confused as to how two different groups could sing the same song 🫤 🤔
No lip-synching or fake playing their instruments. Nice
I am 65 and remember watching this when this aired originally in 1968 ! Ed Sullivan was the show to watch if you wanted to see the Rock and Roll upcoming stars! It seems like yesterday! Time goes by so fast!
It will get faster the older you get, Socrates warned us but we were too young to understand
That’s how you play…like it’s your last. Fantastic.
Yep. You get it.
@@stratcat4450 Drummer Carmine Appice was going up the escalator opposite me at a NAMM music show years ago as I was going down and I yelled "I love you" at him haha...Couldn't help it, just came out...Such an inspiration. He smiled. Was nice.
@@tcellen2136 wow what a great story. Thank you for sharing it.
Left it all on the floor!
200%
I never ever get tired tired of watching this performance. Unbelievable!!!
Commander Riker really rocking that organ
I am 71 and they were the first rock band that I payed any attention to. I thought they were fantastic and still do today! No other band sounded like them .
Dude that drummer was KILLING IT! WOW, that whole band, what a performance!!!
That's Carmine Appice, his brother Vinnie also played with Black Sabbath and Dio later on.
@@dinorocker8647 Crmine Appice recomend John Boham to change his drum set , and then Jimmy Page said, Bonzo"s drums is much bigger Now ! i have to change my telecaster !
@@guillermogonitorello7328 I didn't know that.
Carmine appice was the one that recomended bonzo to ludwig that's why bonzo started playing ludwig drums.
I believe Carmine also made an album with Jeff Beck. He’s a legend.
This was probably one of the most intense performances on the Sullivan show.
See the Doors do Light my Fire
All the biggest bands you can possibly imagine, all of them, toured with these guys and knew they were getting their arses kicked every night. Deep Purple was just another Vanilla Fudge clone. They were the most fun after gigs too.
and when Hendrix opened for the Monkees@@whatilearnttoday5295
@@michaelgadilhe1509 Morrison sucks. Doors were great FM music phenomenon, but Jim sucked
Sullivan wouldn't let the byrds perform 8 miles high because of the drug reference .lol.what crap.😂
Carmine Appice is a national treasure. Drummer from the Gods.
To all the young people commenting on the over the top visuals you need to understand how huge it was to be on Ed Sullivan in 1968. 3 channels of TV (4 or 5 in big cities) , UHF TV and FM radio just starting up. AM radio was the king for radio and many channels were farm reports/news/religion. Ed Sullivan show was THE place to actually SEE rock bands.
Mitch Evans Yes, as in so many things, context is absolutely necessary to get a proper perspective on what ever it is that is being talked about.
Also to mention not even everyone had a color TV back then
Also it was a real change for a rock band to be that animated back then. This is only January of 1968. Rock fans had just been turned onto Jimi Hendrix months earlier.
You are so right my friend! I was a Senior in High School when this song came out. I turned 70 2 weeks ago! Never fear! I’m still rock’n!!😆😊👍
I can’t find any of those comments you’re referring to
I feel truly blessed to have grown up in the 60's & 70"s
Class of 1978 Yuma High School Criminals ! :) still rocking at old age :) rock n roll aint noise pollution !
Same 😑
Yes, a great time to be alive to experience the beginning and growth of rock, rock and roll, etc.
Me too I am a 60's Kid born January 20th of 1960 upright
Yeah, driving around drinking beer, smoking weed, listening to Allman Bros, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, etc. On the 8 trac.
THAT, is a band giving 100%!!!
goosebumps here..can't believe this was on Ed sullivan. I bought that album and wore it out back in the day
Carmine Appice Told me this performance was 100% live. I don’t doubt him
Always live on Sullivan, Dick Clark had the lip synch.
@@ronnieguitar99 almost always live. He made exceptions though. e.g. The Dave Clark Five
@@bassball67 I've seen that clip, and what a disaster! They must've waited a good minute and a half for the back track recording to begin. 😂
Ed Sullivan insisted on rehearsals and live performances! That is why these are so good! Only backfired on him with the doors...one lousy word... ;-)
@@JamesAllmond I've seen two clips here on youtube, where the bands didn't play live, but they did sing live. One was the Dave Clark 5, and the other was Paul Revere & The Raiders.
This, folks ... THIS is how you do a "cover." Totally recognizable, yet totally transformed from Motown Sound to the vision of this band. And performed completely live. No lip synching or production tricks. Pure energy and genius at work here.
Correct. Blinded by the Light by Mannfred Mann is another good example.
Um, I had a Vanilla Fudge T-shirt. The album was given to me by the older brother of a friend that went to Viet Nam. He didn't plan on coming back. He did though. One day he came walking up the sidewalk wearing his uniform. He was Maroon beret - Airborne. He wasn't the 18 kid that we all knew when he came back. He was forever changed and not in a good way.

Először 1971-72 körül hallottam ezt a zseniális "bandát", azóta is mindig elvarázsol hangzásviláguk!
I just feel sorry for the kids today. Still, at least they can look back on the 60s with videos like this and see how great it was to be alive then.
Mark Stein managed to hail 300 NYC taxi cabs during this performance🚕🚕🚕🚕🚕
Bwaahahaha!
🤩👍
Lol
My God...brillant.
IDK ! It's between you and Wild bill for the funniest post. I think he tore his rotator cuff flailing his arm around like he did.
Ed Sullivan gave so many bands exposure in the 60's. I'm 71 and I remember so much of this. He was "square" but so cool to showcase these bands.
Ed was a really smart show biz guy. he knew what he was doing and rarely screwed up the programming of his show.
Sullivan had a knack to put acts on his show that would draw viewers.
Yes, Beatles, Doors, Stones… and Topo Gigo. Can’t forget the fellow spinning the plates.
It was the 60’s. Things were eclectic.
Even some guy named Elvis something
Him and Dick cavett had the two rockin shows a lot of great live acts played both places
THIS WAS THE GREATEST SONG VANILLA FUDGE EVER DID. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.
The only one according yo my 70yo dad
What about you keep me hanging on. And take me for a little while. And season of the witch
When I saw this on the Ed Sullivan show I hopped on my bike and bought the 45 record the next day/Carmines Brutal on those Drums Man!! 🎸
hhhahahahaha, well done !!!!! Such a fucking great song such a great show, even today 100 from 100 points.
Yep to me he was one of the first beat the hell outta the drums rock n roll loud drummer's.
Carmine Appice, 1 of the greatest rock drummers ever!
One of the greatest live videos EVAH! CUH-RAY-ZEE!
Absolutely loving this band and song am 73, reliving my youth. This is in my humble opinion the best version 👌 love love love!!!!!😮🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Totally underrated band. I love how they took an R&B/Soul song and made it theirs. Carmine was a beast on the drums.
Vanilla Fudge and Rare Earth were ahead of their time and legendary.
@@danm5273 and Quicksilver Messenger Service
who exactly underrated them?
Everything is "underrated" now. You fuckers love that word
Carmine is a legend
Man this music makes me wish i was there. In that generation. So I could see these shoes live. And see the growth of hard rock
😢back in the 50's throughout the 70's if you got put on The Ed Sullivan Show you made it big time! 🎉
And they are performing with the appreciation of being on The Ed Sullivan Show.
@@TheHare-rv3hj that's correct
Yes kiddies, music THIS fone was just everywhere back in the 60's. I'm 71 now and I srill have this on a 45
Less than four years after the Beatles were on the stage singing I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Music changed quickly!
In terms of musicianship Vanilla Fudge is one of the most underrated bands in history.
My first touch listening to Heavy Rock was their Break Song. Timeless. Killer!
Carmine Appice is one of the best drummers of rock. His drumstick twirls in between hits, and cymbal muting with his arms are amazing. John Bonham said he studied Appice and that's where he got his triple bass drum hits from.
The Fudge and Rare Earth both.
Brilliant Master Musicians, great piece of music, a favorite for 55 years
I've read it 10000000000 times under every video of 60-2010's bands.
Dude, relax. they were just another average band. nothing more. this song is a cover version BTW.
Ed Sullivan was a master of his times.
Speaking as a 76 yo, this psychedelic ŕock song is in the top ten of the greatest.
This ain't a song, it's a work of art!
This definitely wins the award for the most dramatic performance.
Carmine & Tim ,
Absolute GIANTS!
This is dedicated to the Shah himself, Phil Leotardo, and his mind-blowing experience listening to this song...just a kid...
OMG ! Carmine twirling sticks around & beating those drums.Tim jumping around & doing great backup vocals-this is a treat to see,tx for posting this!
This NEVER gets old - Vanilla Fudge - every band member just brings it - so timeless!!!
Agree, I keep coming back every few months and watching this.
This is a masterclass in live performance. And yes, it’s timeless. Carmine is the most underrated drummer of the era. This is just sick good. Damn
100%
I saw this live. they were 2 hours late arriving at Logan Airport in Boston and it was an hour drive from there. The town shut it down as it went beyond legal time limit. I think they did 5 songs.
@@jv-ep2tc you were so lucky to see them perform those 5 songs..I would have loved to see them.
No one is ever the same after hearing and seeing this.
I painted Tim Bogert's chopper motorcycle back in 1971. it was a wild paintjob.
This is a LIVE performance boys and girls. Almost unheard of for television at that time except for the Ed Sullivan Show.
Right on arlo.. make no mistake about it. This is how a live rock band is supposed to play... not faking it with pre-recorded audio.
@@RickZepp Totally agree. Any band that can't nail their own song doesn't belong on TV pretending to play it.
Seemed live, but guitars did not have any chords plugged in.... wireless back then? Hmmmm
@@donkloos9078 Dependable wireless was not around at that time and as such guitars are hard-wired with cords. Go full screen and they are easier to see. You might also listen with headphones. It's very obvious this is not the studio recording. Lastly, watch Carmine (the drummer) and listen. The audio is spot on with his playing. The man is an animal. This is where most lip synched performances give it away.
@@Arlo360 *Definitely* they have *leads* to/from the guitars.
Plus it is slightly but *definitely different from the vynil version* ( I have which is decades old).
Until now I have only ever heard them, never seen them. I think the kindest thing to say is 'Well, it was a long time ago and TV wanted a visual show too'. Curiously enough Mark Stein looks astonishingly like Philip Hammond the Top Gear presenter.
(Yep, the one who crashed a rocket powered dragster north of 300 mph - and recovered).
Vanilla Fudge put their heart and soul on this one. That Ed Sulivan was a heck of a man. I wish their was more men like of him around. R.I.P
Oh my days they really woke this song up didn't they🔊💥
Over the top real and some of the best rock in history. So much raw emotion. That is what it is all about baby!!! One of the best drummers of all time. Carmine Appice. His brother played with Sabbath and DIO.
The way the drummer holds everything together and drives everyone’s energy forward. This performance is so tight but feels like it’s on the verge of exploding at any minute. Pure rock!!!
Fantastic drummer
He is beating those drums like they owe him money 💰
That would be the Great Carmine Appice. Check out Beck , Bogert and Appice released in 1974. Great album.
@@jamesmoore1371 …….and of course his great Rod Stewart years Hot Legs etc, the fantastic work with Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse Of Reason album!!
@@jamesmoore1371 And, of course, the aforementioned Bogert is Tim Bogert, bassist in this video. Highly talented band!
Carmine Appice is truly one of the founding fathers of rock drumming. One of the best there ever was. As a drummer (and a lifelong fan) I can’t help thinking that it took guts to do those stick twirls on such a high-profile show. No room for error there - but as always Carmine was ON it. Fantastic. And he did it on a 4 piece kit 👊🏻
Carmine Appice so young without his horseshoe moustache
Dude played drums like Keith Moon.
@@steveludwig4200 Keith Moon played drums like this Dude !
I fortunately got to see them play it live around 2000.
Too bad the kick drum is so tiny
Memories? Like WOW! Even live they had a great sound! Surprised Ed gave them the time.
Whos still listening to this after they died
I was a kid when I watched this on Ed Sullivan that year couldn’t believe what I was seeing just amazing!
hhhhahahahahahaha lucky guy that you saw this in former times....... :-) I got addicted to the song as I watched Tarentinos film
All i can say is....WOW!!!
mr appice is a monster...all so talented...no samples...nothing but musicians.
One of the Best Bands and One of the best Drummers. Right up there with Dino
Man oh man. These guys were in another dimension. Thank you for this so much talent ❤
After performing this classic song for over 50 years, drummer Carmine Appice plays his part exactly like he did from day one. All of these guys have maintained their form. Simply incredibly done. RIP Tim Bogart.
I'm going to check out Vanilla Fudge. Although I know this version of the Supremes song, I couldn't tell you the name of any of their other hit songs, I'm ashamed to say.
@@janetbaker3616 The Supremes were a groundbreaking act. The number of No 1 hits this trio put out will astound you. Great harmonies and fabulous production made them unique for the times. Take a trip back into the history of Motown and their journey into music fame. You'll be pleasantly surprised .
@@janetbaker3616 oh JB you are in for a treat. check out their early albums. superb recordings: Eleanor Rigby, People Get Ready, Bang Bang, Season of The Witch, Some Velvet Morning, Windmills of Your Mind and many more as well as some great originals as well.....why not get out and see them on the road now!
i don’t think there was a performance harder than this on sullivan, just amazing stuff right here
Steppenwolf ??..
@@chicanobear13 Vanilla Fudge. This is a cover of the Supremes version.
@@oldiesgeek454 i know that..lol.. I was talking about a harder rock performance.. steppenwolf rocked it on sullivan, the animals.. as well as vanilla fudge.. I'm giving examples of Other hard rock bands on ed sullivan
@@chicanobear13 I see now. Since your comment didn't start with "@Buffalo Beatle", I didn't realize you were replying to him. I thought maybe you didn't notice the Title under the video... 🤣
Outstanding performance. The Fudge really had it!
This never gets old.
I grew up with the 80s cover but this is so much better!
Once upon a time in days gone by,bands would pour their heart & soul into the music.They would leave it all on the stage..Those were the good old days.
What a great mix is right!!!!!!!!!! And shows how really great Vinnie, Mark, Timmy and Carmine really were.....What a sound nobody could replicate.... Carmine is a beast and his tenor harmony is epic,, Vinny plays some of the best guitar licks ever heard, Timmys Bass licks were just sick and Mark was just a genius freak. Nobody could play like them. Thats why the were legends.....No rehearsal could prepare for that performance. What all all four had was some thing that just cannot be taught, just that little extra that God gives to some and they shine a little brighter no matter how hard another may practice or rehearse. And when they got this big spot on Sullivan they made the most of it. Just listen to these guys play and sing. Wow!
The Ed Sullivan show was every musicians dream. Vanilla Fudge took full advantage of that moment and hit it out of the park. Let’s remember this was LIVE!
Many bands that came after the Beatles would never have been on the Ed Sullivan show had it not been for the Beatles
My first concert ever, age 16, the cool kids at church camp took me to San Antonio, Vanilla Fudge and Canned Heat. 1968. Thanks cool kids, for ever.
Of course. Gonna leave the city, got to get away.
I'm reminded of the Trent Reznor interview where he's asked about Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, and he replies "It's his song now."
I don't believe that I've ever heard this exact performance, and wow.
One of the best cover songs in rock history. I love 60's R&B but this version left the Supremes original in the dust.
Are you serious, and giving no credit to the Supremes and the Motown sound. The only reason I watched this is because I heard George Clinton and PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC performed with VF and only reason.
@@makenomist8aboutit43 One could conversely say that Jimi Hendrix' version of 'All Along The Watchtower' left Bob Dylan's original in the dust - 'giving no credit to Dylan or the folk music sound'. And DYLAN WROTE IT. The Supremes did NOT write 'Keep me Hangin' on' , the songwriting team, Holland Dozier Holland did. Most Motown hits made popular by the artists who recorded them were written by others. Your argument is moot. I agree with Christopher! 🤣
I always wondered what "The Supremes" thought of their cover.
Sorry but that's like comparing apples and oranges,two entirely different versions of the same song.
Supremes & VF versions are great! The Supremes version was groundbreaking too , it had a rythym guitar riff and Diana's voice was double tracked , technics not used before
"Epic" doesn't begin to describe this incendiary live performance.
I truly feel bad for the act that had to follow these guys
It's not live
@@TANTRUMGASM it's not. It is pre recorded.
@@zeebatser6930
Says you…..
@@zeebatser6930 Oh no. It is most definitely live. That's NOT a backing track you're hearing.
With all due respect to the Supremes this is my favorite version/cover.
That is crazy to think my dad was in Vietnam when this was going on TV. I just visited him at the cemetery for veterans a week ago first birthday and I broke down in tears like no other.
I too am now a veteran myself. The Vietnam War and everything with the music was just such a powerful era.
I love my life and my family but when I do finally die at least I can see my dad again
The thought of seeing my mother again has comforted me for 45 years.
Cowboy, my Dad died 19 years ago. I think of him every day. Wisdom he taught me still guides me and always will. They're with us always just not in a physical body. When you think of him, think of a special moment with him and it will bring a smile and fill you with joy.
@@bobkeenan2907 Thank you for that comment. I always think of the great times we had together with him and my brothers.
It was a powerful era and it shows in may songs. You will be with your dad.💞
Thank you and bless your

Impossible to overstate how far ahead this was of everything on TV then (and much since.) Just unbelievable!
Man, these guys really rock. The drummer makes me want to be a drummer.
60's music gives me chills...
These guys should have been superstars.
There were big egos involved
They are
Carmine Appice is on another planet with his drums. So damn awesome! This performance was great!
Considering that is was 1968 on Ed Sullivan makes it all the more sensational!
I still have this album on vinyl!
Many thanks to the poster!

Once upon a time in Hollywood brought me here.I love the moment when Brad Pitt´s character realizes that he has a knife nailed in his hip.😂.AMAZING BAND.Amazing performance.Amazing song.
And to think this was done LIVE! No pro tools, no tick track, no studio tricks, no digital manipulation, no quantized drums… just sheer raw talent…
I wonder if the Ed Sullivan show was one of the few shows back then where performances were live. Nothing is more irritating than finding older live video clips where they really aren't playing "live". ☹
They had talent.
@@DrummerDanVa From what I've read, the performers had to stay a week in New York and practice on that stage each day before the show. It was worth it to the performers. Remember, only 3 networks back then, so the audience was enormous. So, no lip-sync. All live.
No one screaming and cheering while they play.
Well all of us younger bands at the time immediately started playing their version of the song, especially because it was such an easy number to do. Seemed so dramatic back then and for young white boys to be covering a SUPREMES hit! Wow! It was revolutionary! Then Beck, Bogert and Appice. Then Cactus... Ted Nugent/Mitch Rider Buddies... all...
One of the most intense performances ever on the Sullivan show...
I think you are exactly Right!
Shotgun was I think a wee bit more intense. Superb all around !!!!
Looks live to me
Think you mean overlbown and hammy ?
I love it, powerful as hell ! do you think any drugs were harmed during this performance?
Imagine being a kid in 1968 watching the telly with your family surrounding and this happens?!
Life-changing performance. Carmine is a beast.
Sullivan often had "hot" rock groups. Watch the Sullivan show and you saw who was going up or already there.
I was one of those kids. 1 TV in the house. My parents watched the Ed Sullivan show, so we kids did as well. I probably saw this show.
I can imagine that - my dad would have turned the channel!
We too, music was SO happening, My parents welcomed all the music in. GREAT! Born in 56
I don't have to imagine, I was that kid and I loved it!
I was 13. The Ed Sullivan Show was our Sunday night dinner routine.
Good song I remember this song years ago when I was younger I was born in the 60 I am so glad I grew up in those days when the music was the best ❤
I’ve never seen a drummer 360, 720 his drum sticks like that ever, guy is amazing!!
Vanilla Fudge was waay before their time! Hard to believe this performance was done in the 60’s! Carmine Appice was KILLIN it!!
Uriah Heep owes a lot to Vanilla Fudge
""Vanilla Fudge was waay before their time!"
> I have never heard that being claimed.
How were they ""before their time"?
They are trying -way- too hard to appear as if they are "rockin", very phony.
@@richardpaulhall there’s always a critic in every crazy house
Dude, this song sounds straight out of its era. If someone were to ask me to give them an example of how bands in the 60s sounded, I'd send this as an example. Vanilla Fudge were not ahead of their time, they are a quintessential product of it.
@@richardpaulhall you had to be there, meaning that time period.
About 3-4 years back, Vanilla Fudge showed up on Jimmy Fallon's show and performed this song to support their album "Box of Fudge". Carmine hit virtually every single note and beat identical to this performance almost 50 yrs earlier. STILL killer. I could listen to this song every day and not tire of it. These guys rocked it
I first listened to this song on Mafia III, and ever since I was hooked by this song, the Extended Version is awesome!
When music was 'real', and touched our souls...................
The bass player’s dorkalicious moves and singing faces are legendary
Tim Bogart.
Telecaster bass is cool
Ever heard of Beck, Bogart and Appice?? Good Idea to check 'em out!
@@dabbydude Cactus!!!
@@masterofmuppets357 HA! YES! Wasn't Jim McCarty on guitar? And Rusty Day vocals. Wow! ALmost forgot!

which are the other two?
@@nilse7793 The Animals playing the House of the Rising Sun and The Beatles
Epitomizes the incredible standard of music in the 60s.
This one song should have made them superstars.
I grew up watching alot of Artist on The Ed Sullivan Show,The Beatles in Feb.1964,JamesBrown 1965,The Temptations,etc,This Group was totally electric !! As a Drummer… Mr.Appice was a total Monster showman !! Great Talented Group!!!
SHOWMANSHIP! Loved it in 1968, appreciate it in 2023. I remember this like it was yesterday, because my family never missed Ed Sullivan's Show on Sunday nights. I graduated high school 7 months prior to this, I was three days from my 19th birthday, 5 months from getting drafted by the U.S. Army, 17 months from beginning my tour in Vietnam, and 2 years, 8 months away from finally being released from Fort Devens Army Hospital, and 'Coming Home'.
Welcome home brother
@@robertkast9299 Thank you.
@@dizzman5546 Thank you.
Wow oh wow.
Chilling! Thank you for your service and for advancing democracy/Freedom. Fuck all these naysayers that said the war was for nothing.
Much kudos to Ed Sullivan for changing with the times and letting these groups get their spotlight.
I think Ed was trying to stay relevant in those fast changing times.
You're right. He could have easily turned into Lawrence Welk if he wasn't open to change.
I agree.Wasn't that the year 1967, Ed told Jim Morrison not to sing “girl, we couldn't get much higher” to “girl, we couldn't get much better”. Also in 1967, The Rolling Stones performed on The Ed Sullivan Show under one condition - they change the lyric of their hit “Let's Spend The Night Together” to the more family-friendly “let's spend some time together.” It was reported that Sullivan's exact words were, “Either the song goes, or you go.” Mick Jagger was diplomatic about his song,
Jim Morrison wasn't as diplomatic about "Light My Fire"😆
