crazy fact when the Beatles wrote their last music in 1969, the 2 oldest Beatles (Ringo and John) were only 29. George was 26. 250 songs all in their 20's....never to be done again
There is plenty of great music out there but nothing comes close to what the Beatles accomplished in such a short time
I think they released more than 250 songs
And the development in such a short time.
And Paul was 27
Even crazier is the impact they have had with a recording career of a mere 7 years.
73 million people watched this on tv in 1964
And my mom was one of them screaming and singing/dancing along at the TV. She and Paul McCartney are almost exactly the same age- less than a month from each other-and she is a massive Beatles fan (as am, I to be honest.)
@@redletter2008 There were also only 3 channels at the time. So you will never see ratings that big again.
This was a very popular tv show back in the day. Most everyone watched it on Sunday evening. Ed Sullivan was known for being the first to have new acts.
When Elvis was on, people were so outraged they would only show him from waist up because of his dancing.
I was one of them
@Kevin Nelson I was just barely 5 when they played on Sullivan that night, and from that moment forward (I'm 62) I never had a single doubt what I wanted to do with my life. Play guitar. The list of your favorite artists is packed with players who either saw that February 9th 1964 broadcast or were shown video or audio of it decades later. Watch any documentary that interview clips with a lot of musicians and you'll start to realize the impact of The Beatles, which is still strong.
I remember this episode of the Ed Sullivan show. My dad was dancing around the room mocking them. He said "give 'em a week and you'll never hear of them again". LOL
What did he say 3 years later.lol
Hahaha this has cracked me up 😂
Boy, was HE wrong lol
I remember watching that show too, with my parents. My dad said, “bring those kids over here, I’ll give them a real haircut!” My dad also insisted that they would be just a flash-in-the-pan. Sorry dear ol’ dad, you were wrong!
My dad said the same thing about Elvis in 1956. Haha!
On April 4th 1964, the Beatles managed to occupy the Top 5 songs position on the Billboard Hot 100. No one had ever done this before. Or even come close. The Beatles rule for all time.
This was in 1964 - it was the Beatles first appearance in the US. They were already famous in England. The Beatles appearance on this show ( The Ed Sullivan Show) was the most watched TV program in the history of TV up to that time. It was live.
They were performing LIVE on TV! My dad hated them but did let us watch.
Everyone watched The Ed Sullivan Show back then.
I know. My Irish-born grandmother, visiting us in LA from New Jersey, laughed all the way through the Ed Sullivan Beatles' performances, which pissed off me and my sisters big time. :).
i was 6 years old when I saw this on T.V. and even as a six year old i fell immediately in love!
Ditto, except I was 8. Shaped my musical tastes.
I was 7. This was great for kids our age. I know I bought a few packs of Beatles' bubble gum cards. Everyone at school, in the neighborhood, were Beatle crazy. It was just so much fun and the music was great!
@@debjorgo In all the years since, I can think of no phenomenon that quite rivals Beatlemania. The Ed Sullivan theater audience was sedate compared with stadium crowds, or even the streets outside of the band's hotels.
@@chrisbowling4060 Well, Ed did make the girls promise to behave themselves.
Me too ....I remember sitting in front of the TV on the Floor watching it on the Ed Sullivan show with Mom and Dad. I remember Mom and Dad kept saying ...:Look at their hair" LOL
This was basically the song that introduced the Beatles to the American public. I think it was their first hit song in this country. I remember watching this live on our little t.v. Nice reaction.
I was a toddler with a toy guitar, a Beatle wig, and singing, "I want to hold your HAT!" Great Reaction guys. Thanks for the memory.
I had a Beatles wig too! Don’t know what happened to it, though. Remember adults being appalled by the length of their hair 😂
😂 I'd love their reaction to Wings " Band on the Run"!
asked my mom for beatle boots when they came out with them.
i Had a beatle banjo, which i saw on roadshow antiques show and found out it's worth thousands today!
Hat! That had to be a joy to see. I was born around that time
I remember watching this live. I was spending the night at my Great-grandmother's house. I was 7. I was mesmerized. My Grandma Mary said, "Oh my!" Lol. NEVER have forgotten it.
These two young people are just delightful
You have to understand that up until the mid 50s there was classical music, jazz, big band music and not much else. Rock n Roll was very new so when the Beatles, Elvis, and some others showed up, people went CRAZY. No one had ever heard anything like it.
The year before, President JFK was assassinated. The Beatles were the perfect escape.
The Beatles are the best of the best. In six years the led two revolutions. Everyone today owes a little sometging to The Fab Four.
They sure did. Shame the revolution was backed by Bolsheviks
When my parents called me into the living room to watch this performance of The Beatles on TV - it was THE moment that changed my 12 year old life forever. The parents thought I would find them funny - but I fell in love (and the parents were horrified). I was an original Beatlemaniac. Loved them then, love them now, love them forever.
Great Reaction Guys ! Here are FACTS haha: The Beatles recorded 230 Songs ALL between 1962-1970 when they all went off to pursue solo careers after living in each other's pockets for 8 years. They wrote most of those 230 Songs. They are the biggest selling Singles AND Album artists Worldwide. At one time they had The Number 5 Song in The YSA Billboard Charts AND The Number 4 song AND The Number 3 song AND The Number 2 Song AND The Number 1 song. ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
They did not change the World of music, my friends they changed the world and teenage culture for all time and have influenced more groups than any other.
I love how you say they "lived in each other's pockets"!
A little additional information for the OP reactors... John Lennon and Paul McCartney met, and Paul joined John's already going band (not yet called The Beatles), five years prior to the aforementioned 1962. And George Harrison joined the band only a year later. During those early years, 1957-1962, they formed a very tight friendship.
@@luckymustard Yes, you are right, my friend. The Quarrymen even The Silver BeETLES until they replaced the second "e" with the "A" :)
They were great mates,for sure learning their Art by performing for 7 hours a night without a break ( apparently ) solid for 4-6 Months non-stop in The Star Club, Hamburg with Pete Best as Drummer then and the rest is history.....:)
DAMN! I've never heard it put better, "They didn't change the world of music, THEY CHANGED THE WORLD!
Yes, indeed,Raymond :)
I was 12 in Feb. 1264 at the time of this show. Every boy had a flat-top or buzz haircut. The next morning all that hair started growing! Mine eventually grew half way down my back.
The previous November Present Kennedy had been assassinated, leaving young folks bewildered and depressed. The Beatles gave us a reason to smile again!
it wasn't called Bealtemania for nothing.... we adored them.
STILL DO!
Stole all thier ideas from The Rutles.
you dont like them now?
@@wesleyrodgers886 lol
They were all in their early 20s when this was filmed, this is one of their earlier works.
None of them were extremely attractive or anything. Kind of ugly actually. Not sure when the girls went crazy over them
@@evanhughes1510 status, fame, social credit etc.... your name is welsh as fuck but you have the English spelling of Ifan (Evan)
@@penderyn8794 I’m
Welsh and English. And on my Dad’s side Scottish, too
@@evanhughes1510 bruh they were adorable in their early years
@@evanhughes1510 they were back then, obviously
1964 and my dad still said they were ' long haired louts' because their hair was not short back and sides, even tho they are in suits and look wholesome. lololol poor dad...just made us love them even more haha
These were the ages of The Beatles when they first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show:
John Lennon-23
Paul McCartney-21
George Harrison-20
Ringo Starr-23
@@shavedfish These are the dates I show:
Paul was born June 18th, 1942
George was born February 25th, 1943
The Ed Sullivan show in question was on February 9th, 1964.
This would make Paul 21 years old.
This would make George 20 years old and very close to 21.
Do you have different dates than these?
Ringo was the oldest. Then John then Paul then George the youngest.
The Beatles changed the world of music - I was 10 years old when I saw this on TV, and they gave me the desire to play guitar (which I later on did, and played in bands for many years). Their later albums showed their growth and ingenuity, were amazing as well.
I hope you young people realize that when this show was aired (I was 13), there were no videos, no home computers and no cable TeeVee. Nowadays, if there's a group or singer you want to see or a song you want to hear, all you have to do is punch a few buttons on your phone and you have it. The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show three weeks in a row, and that's when we saw them. If we weren't in the living room when the show came on on Sunday evening, we were out of luck. They'd appear a few times on shows like Shindig, but that could be it for an entire year. We had records, we had the radio, we had magazines, and we had the rare appearance on television. That was it. So the excitement was amazing when we actually got to see our heroes. You could go a year and see some giant groups six to eight times. That's one reason they mean so much to us. For lesser groups that we also loved, the Stones, the Dave Clark Five, the Beau Brummels, the Kinks and the Zombies, the Beach Boys and all, it was the same. Our music and the people who made it were precious to us.
Their appearance on this show was iconic, to say the very least. It was one of the highest viewed episodes of this show. Even the crime rate in the US was down for a short time while these four from Liverpool were performing.
FYI The Beatles are the best selling artists of all time, by a country mile.
"The Beatles was love" Son, nobody ever said it better.
The first Beatles song I ever heard.. 6 years old. the fact that I still remember that is crazy.
they were the most famous band in the world through 60's and 70's...they were the first pop/rock band...their catalogue is enormous! they all had very successful solo careers too....
I was a senior in high school when this was shown on TV. You didn't seen many males in the audience because #1, the girls would have trampled them to death on the way in, and #2, most guys were flat-out jealous of the Beatles and we took some time before we really appreciated their music, but we came around in short order.
I was 10 years younger, so I didn't have any adolescent calculations in mind. However, when I was 18, Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours," Heart's "Dreamboat Annie" and Jefferson Starship's "Red Octopus" were big with girls, so we guys -- even Zep-heads like me -- found a way to like them.
This was the first time i actually seen the Beatles This song was a big hit on the radio at the time. I was at my friends house waiting for them to come on . When they came on our mouths were wide open . I said that their hair was as long as girls . Boys had short hair up until that night.The next week everyone was talking about the Beatles with there long hair. We loved them of course.
Feb.9,1964.....This was watched by OVER 73,000,000 people! This particular night....this was the most watched TV program of all time! After this night...NOTHING has ever been the same! On April 4, 1964...The Beatles had the #1...#2...#3...#4...and #5 record in the Billboard "Hot 100"...plus they had 7 other records in the charts...AND...the #1...and #2 albums on the charts! They broke up in April 1970...and have sold an estimated 2.6 BILLION records worldwide!!! Not streaming...BUT 2.6 billion in physical sales!!! The changed everything...and they stand alone at the top!!!
this was their US debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, a major variety show in the 60s. It was 1964 and I begged my Mom to let me stay up and watch it. I was 8!
The Beatles rocks!!!! Greeting from Chile, guys!!
I am 64... and in 1964 it was a Sunday evening and dad had taken the family out for a Sunday drive and we stopped by his sister's home (our cousins) and while we went upstairs to play with Tom for a little bit, the parents talked amongst themselves. We heard a noise and came downstairs to see his sisters watching Ed Sullivan and it was the Beatles first time in America.. I knew I had to play music at that moment. My dad played piano and had written a few songs, but nothing like this of course. I was a few days from being 7 years old and the world would never be the same.
More Beatles
They always said they wouldn't come to America until that had a #1 hit, and this was it! December of 1963, then they came to New York and played the Ed Sullivan Show in early 1964. They were a hit making machine! They once had the top 5 songs on the charts at the same time!
They set the record for billboard hits in pop music that has never been broken to this day! Undesputed kings of pop!
Thank You for helping me celebrate The Beatles on this anniversary.
I so appreciate seeing young people enjoying the Beatles. They truly are timeless. You said it well - their music is love.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand was a total hit in those days.
Since you asked how old they were. John Lennon & Ringo Starr were both 23 years old during this performance. Paul McCartney was 21 years old, and George Harrison was only 20. As a matter of fact, his birthday was February 25th, over two weeks after they performed on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Mccartney was still only 21 at this time. Not 22 until the following June 18.
@@davidread7492 my bad. Keep a watchful eye, I’m gonna edit my comment.
That great camera work when the camera goes back toward Ringo and you can hear his drumming clearly, he was a genius on the drums!
The popular explanation for the breakup of the Beatles is Yoko Ono, John Lennon's wife, but it was really creative differences between all the band members.
They just grew up, that's all. They started at 20 and they were pushing 30 and wanted families. That's it, that's all.
@@Retnoob John, Paul, and George started when they were 14 to 17 years old.
Business had a big part in the break up.
@@ronalddobis6782 Well I meant at the time of this video, but since you felt the need to mansplain at me, I'll let you have your fun.
@@Retnoob Well that's not what you wrote so I just corrected what I considered to be an error so that the makers of the video would have the correct information. If you think all corrections are mansplaining I don't know what to tell you. If you had typed the correct information I would have given a thumbs up. From your handle I have no way of knowing whether you are male, female, or mineral. Anyway however much you hurt me I still respect you.
This was the night all American Pop/Rock music changed forever! Ringo (drummer) was left handed playing on a right hand drum kit which gave his drumming a different sound.
I loved it when you stopped at the girl enjoying the show. I always rewatch it a couple of times. She's so into it, so happy :)
I still remember that night in 1964 and was also 6 years old . We were all so excited when we heard about the Beatles being on the Ed Sullivan Show . The show came on at 8:00 that night and we came in the house about 7:45 . Just watching on tv you could feel the electricity in the studio and just mentioning their names , the girls started screaming and going crazy . And when they finally came on stage the place just exploded with screams , it was hard to hear them singing at first because of the screaming . It was like that at the concerts where they played one of the reasons they stopped doing concerts was because they could barely hear themselves singing because of the screaming . That night was truly a magical night that I'll always remember and I thank you guys for taking me back on this trip down memory lane and the music from my childhood . :-)
This single (originally a UK No.1 nearly 58 years ago) still resides in my loft, where it's been carried from house to house. I used to listen to it on our old mono record player - because it was in mono! These things got made quickly.
I believe this was their 1st big hit in the States.
Yep!
According to Wikipedia... "It was also the group's first American number-one hit, entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 18 January 1964 at number 45 and starting the British Invasion of the American music industry."
The Beatles is the best band in the world!!!!!
From 1st Album to last 8yrs bro!! Mind-blowing the evolution of the band. From my home city of Liverpool. Greatest of all time.
Look up the 1960s British Music Invasion for more info on this band and others.
The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964. On 4 April 1964, the Beatles had the number 1 song on the Billboard top 100. And the number 2 song. And the number 3 song. And the number 4 song. And the number 5 song. And they also had seven more songs in the Top 100. This has never been repeated.
This was the Ed Sullivan Show and the Beatles introduction to the American public at large in February 1964. 73 million people were watching, which was well over half the TV viewers. They split up in 1970 and are still the top selling musicians of all time.
I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing, etc. the first time I heard this. Their music was that new and revolutionary
I believe this is their first time in America on the Ed Sullivan show. I was up late watching with my parents. Ed always had the best music groups. I saw the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley. Those are the ones I remember but were many others. Loved Ed’s intro of the program... “We have a really big show tonight”😎
I saw them on TV. I was little but it made me wanna be in a band. They were the best.
This was recorded on the Ed sullivan show In early 1964 and people still watch these over and over again 🤯🤯
I seen this..blew the WORLD away...60 yrs ago!!!
I moved to Long Island on the same day they played the Ed Sullivan show and that was the first program we watched in our new home. I was 5 and still remember it well. It was a big event.
They not only had the #1 spot, but at one time (April 4th, 1964) they held the TOP 5 spots SIMULTANIOUSLY!! They were 1) Can't Buy Me Love... 2) Twist And Shout.... 3) She Loves You... 4) I Want To Hold Your Hand... 5) Please Please Me ... They are THE ONLY band ever to do that (and probably ever will be..) .... All in all, The Beatles had TWENTY #1 hits total. Another record that has yet to be broken. They were also the first musical act to be animated in cartoon form AND play a stadium (Shea Stadium, NYC April 15th, 1965) thus kicking off the arena rock era!!!
With the arrival of The Beatles onto the music scene, it was totally a revelation to all..It's like ' HOLY CRAP did you hear THAT '?...and ...' What THE?..We've never heard anything like THAT before '?..lol..Great reactions you two...Cheers.. Long live The BEATLES, ' YEAH YEAH YEAH yeahhhhhh '..
I love the aesthetic and style of the 60’s. So cool!
This was the Beatles' first big hit in the United States. It kicked off a flood of British bands coming to the US. This movement was called the British Invasion.
It’s impossible to overestimate the impact the Beatles had on the world - not just musically. They influenced culture from fashion to hairstyles. The world had never seen anything quite like them up to that point. They were the spokesmen for an entire generation. And musically, their influence is untouchable by any other artist or group. They not only broke records, they charged the way music is recorded. The number of famous musicians who cite the Beatles as influencing them and their music or their decision to become musicians is very, very lengthy indeed. If you are really interested in them, there is a documentary series called The Beatles Anthology - you should definitely watch it.
This song introduced The Beatles to America and the world, very historic performance
The harmonies on this is much different than the studio recording.
Coz John’s mic was busted
They also had a hard time hearing over the screaming girls... lol
@@shavedfish you can hear John's vocal so his microphone wasn't busted.
Just a case of vocal mic balance. If they could have heard themselves better they would have naturally adjusted their proximity to the mics.
In the 60's they usually set one mic for the lead singer and the others for backing vocalists. No one expected the Beatles!!
I'm 56 years old and STILL wasn't born yet.. almost, I was born in April of '64. Timeless! You should check out when Paul McCartney went out on his own in the mid '70s and formed Paul McCartney and Wings... Several great songs. Start with "Jet" and "Live and Let Die" - I think you'll like them!
You should react to "a brief history of The Beatles", it tells their history pretty well.
I watched this performance on TV when I was probably about the age you two are now! It was just fun music, and you could not see this performance again - it was just this one time on Sunday night - Ed Sullivan show.
This is real early Beatles. This song was their first hit single in America. At that time the girls screamed for them all over the world. They were larger than life throughout their short career and just as successful as solo artists.
The performance that launched a million bands!
For that Ed Sullivan show there were 66,000 request for tickets in a theater that only had 728 seats! Also that night was the largest TV audience in US history at that time. Police even noticed that crime dropped in New York City (where this took place) during that hour that the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan SHow. TV audience was something around 73,000,000
A few months before, Ed Sullivan landed at Heathrow airport in London at the same time as the Beatles. There were so many people there that Ed thought perhaps the Queen was there too! He asked to find out what was happening. He didn’t know who the Beatles were but the fact that so many fans were welcoming them at the airport made him book them for his show in New York. Fun fact in this performance: John’s microphone doesn’t seem to be working so all you hear is Paul’s vocal. You can appreciate his harmonies on the bridge 😃
On Nov. , 1963 John Kennedy was assassinated, America went into MONTHS of mourning. When Ed Sullivan had them on his TV show in Feb. 1964, it was like the unofficial moment that America could begin to stop mourning, and move on. In 1964 John and Ringo (Richard Starkey) were 24, George was 21, and Paul was 22. That year they released a movie called "A Hard Day's Night." it's still funny, energetic, and worth watching, Some compare the frantic comedy in it to the 'Marx Brothers, and the music is classic!
this was their first live performance in the USA on the Ed Sullivan Show in NYC. Look up the 1964 Billboard 100 top songs in 1964 --the Beatles dominated radio.
Check out the history of the Beatles. It is AMAZING! By the time they hit this part, performing on the Ed Sullivan show, they've already had a bit of success. What came after is amazing!
My Mum saw The Beatles live a few days before this song hit No.1 in 1963 in Sheffield at the City Hall!
"The Beatles was love!" Hell yeah!
Fun fact: The Beatles first appearance on Sullivan had 50,000 requests for tickets. There were only 700 available. They received $10,000 for three shows or about $85,000 in today's money. On April 4th, 1964, The Beatles held the top five songs in the US, a feat never equaled since.
My sister was kneeling in front of the tv during this performance screaming. She was in high school.
In just three years we went from the Beatles singing “I want hold your hand” (1963) to The Rolling Stones singing “Let’s spend the night together” (1966)!
I was 9 years old when this came on the TV. I remember coloring in a book on the living room floor, and saying, "Eh, they're okay."
I remember watching that first American performance by the Beatles. I had just turned 7 years old. I saw all those girls screaming for the Beatles and thought to myself, "That's what I want to do when I grow up." Well I tried but didn't try hard enough I guess. I'm a huge Beatles fan. Thanks for the memories.
ALOT of people say that they're the best band ever. If you've ever seen the video of when they got off the plane in NYC for their first visit to the U.S., it was nuts! Thousands of teenage girls screaming and crying. It was CRAZY!
WOW! This was '64.....they were about 21-23 yrs. old. Just kids really!! So amazing. Actually....they were still very young in '70 when they broke up. BTW....I think you two make a great reaction duo!!
How neat is it to see young people still dancing to this 50+ years later?
I like The Beatles' early recordings, such "I Saw Her Standing There", "Please, Mr. Postman" (a cover of a song originally recorded by the Marvelettes on Motown Records), "Twist And Shout" a cover of a song originally recorded by The Isley Brothers on Atlantic Records), and "Money (That's What I Want)" (a cover of a song originally recorded by Barrett Strong on Tamla Records, and nationally on Anna Records (with distribution help by Chess Records); Tamla and Anna were sister labels to the Motown Records label).
They changed and matured with the generation, always at the cutting edge.
We were all holding hands in these days, like you two. I saw them in Atlanta Stadium. Peace and love.
This is the song that made them in America!
WHEN this was on the Ed Sullivan Show it was their first appearance in the US, Paul, was 21, George would turn 21 two weeks later, Ringo and John were both 24
Yes, I saw this first American appearance fot them in 1964. As you can hear the girls went crazy!👍🏾🙆🏾♀️🤗🎶
I love watching you younger people reacting to the Beatles. I saw your reaction to "A Day in the Life," and I couldn't help but smile at you all. Gotta remember that the Beatles began to experiment with music as they experimented with mind altering drugs, especially LSD. They practically lead the way in the psychedelic era of the 60's, and their sound was very eclectic. :D
Go to concerts now while you can. For the last few years, my wife and I have been going to see old bands that we either missed because of life priorities or we couldn't afford it. We have seen a bunch of bands, but some are no longer with us. You'll never regret going to see someone you like in person.
that night set a record for most watched tV event in history... even crime dropped in NYC that night... EVERYONE was watching Sullivan.
The really cool thing about this performance is that John and Paul were both lead singers on this song on the record, but on this performance John's mike wasn't on. The sound engineers made a mistake. Even without being able to hear John's voice very well, Paul carried the day, and the performance still explodes off the TV!
More Beatles like When My Guitar Gently Weeps , Elenor Rigby, I Am the Walrus, etc. Thank you.
Great Band they were. Endless music still loved to today. I love your guys reactions. Bravo !!!
so many things to love about this video.... one thing that always makes me laugh is that first you see that young girl screaming, and think it's a teeny bopper thing... but then at 5:57 you see a woman at least in her 20's who also been bitten by the Beatlemania bug... I was 9 years old when I watched this on Ed Sullivan which was on a Sunday night.... the next day at school on Monday morning the whole place was buzzing with excitement and it was like a new world.. the start of a great ride that lasted 6 years and the music they created in 6 years still seems astounding.
I'm 67 English. Family circumstances meant I missed early Beatles and was too cool for school about them till my daughter discovered them around 1999.
It's fashionable in pretentious circles to applaud their stuff from Rubber Soul onwards to detriment of early records. But the massive exuberance of their first fame pop music is at least as astonishing as their later stuff. The skill and technique displayed in playing instruments (not mere simple strumming with more capable musicians in background) while singing 3-part harmonies on songs they wrote and arranged themselves was a totally new thing. They took Everley Brothers, Crickets, early Motown, Little Richard, girl harmony groups anf created a new dynamic excitement
Keep the great music going.
There are countless Beatles documentaries,( some of the earliest done while they were still together,) that you two can watch and learn everything you want to know about them.
