Walking home from 7th grade on a cold February Friday in 1964. My friend said, "Are you going to watch the Beetles? (I thought he was talking about the bugs). I looked at him, strangely, and said, Beetles? What Beetles? He said, "It's a band playing on Ed Sullivan"." I guess so", I said. I watched after dinner at my grandparents house with the family. My cousin Linda (3 years older, so, 16) was crying because she thought Ringo was cute. My mother thought Paul looked like a choir boy. The next Monday at school, that was all we talked about. Everyone knew John, Paul, George, and Ringo - The Beatles. The World changed that weekend.
It’s funny that you mentioned that. I also clearly recall walking home from school with my friend in 1964 when we were in 7th grade, and he told me that he was going to the record store in Newton Center, Massachusetts to buy their album. I asked him who the Beatles were because I had never hear of them.
wow- what did you do to be so lucky? Curious as how you got tickets (i mean how your parents did probably) being at that show was a thrill of 1,000 lifetimes!!!! (Of course, not as good as a taylor swift concert , right, LOL? > The kids of today just wouldnt understand....I dont even bother trying to explain.
@@kentk9073 I work as an aid at local schools. One day I was working in the detention room at a middle school. This 12-year-old girl was had detention all day. I asked her what did she do to get detention all day. "I just talked back to the teacher," she said. "You must have done more than that," I said. "Nope, that was it," she said. Somehow she got on the subject of music. She kept saying how great Justin Bieber was, how she was going to see him in concert (she said he was on tour in Canada at the time), how she wanted to have his kids....just on and on. I didn't say anything. "He's going to make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," she said. I didn't say anything, but with some of the entertainers elected now he just might. When she said, "He's already the greatest entertainer in music history", I couldn't keep quiet any longer. "Have you ever heard of The Beatles?" I asked. "Oh he's bigger than them," she said. "Now I know why you got detention all day," I said.
I was only 9 when I saw their first appearance on Ed Sullivan. But boy, what an impact. That's why I play guitar to this day (even have a John Lennon Signature Rickenbacker now just like the one he's playing in this video). (See my avatar)
Lucky person. You should catch Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits) if you get a chance. They were on a par with the Beatles in their day and Peter and his band are still faithful to the originals.
President Kennedy had been assassinator about three months earlier. America was devastated and somehow had lost it's innocence. People were depressed and it was winter. Then out of nowhere, these energized funny talented guys show up with fun songs and cool accents. In a strange way, the Beatles arrived on our shores at just the right time. They gave us a lift. The rest is history.
Yep, 77 days earlier the U.S. was in a black and white funk and these 4 young men changed the landscape to color when they arrived in NYC to play The Ed Sullivan Show two days later.
It was February 9th a Sunday night and my birthday. Before 11 years old i can say life was rather nondescript,but on this night the whole world was going to change. Everyone was tuned into the Ed Sullivan Show. That evening Beatlemania was born. We were growing our hair out,buying anything Beatles,records,boots caps and anxiously awaiting the next hit.There was nothing else it seemed to talk about. The Beatles had become the soundtrack of my life. I feel so blessed to have lived through this phenomenon. It certainly lead the way for other performers but these four lads set the bar high and it’s reflected in their continuing popularity. Beatles 4ever ❤️
I was 11 at the time, but Beatlemania was already cooking in the US. Please Please Me / From Me to You was the first record I ever bought, before they signed with Capitol.
Ringo is just killing it on that drum kit. He drives this song. And the Beatles as a group/team look so poised, well-rehearsed and professional. Kudos to Brian Epstein for that.
Yes. Amazingly poised!. Their previous hard work prepared them well. They are well aware of the audience's reaction while still playing like nothing else was going on!
My favorite moment in this clip is George smiling and nodding at the fans in the balcony 0:45. Supposedly, they were told not to react to the fans, which is why after George nods, John turns and quickly glances and smiles at him.
Looks to me like he was looking at Paul - they clearly make eye contact =^) The Beatles were never told not to react, they just never had time with the pace of the show - also, John's eyesight was pretty poor so he couldn't really see them without his glasses.
I'm an attorney. If you are interested, we can sue for Beatle Battery on a minor. There is no statute of limitations on such a charge. Well, gotta go now. I can hear an ambulance going down my street.
After those initial appearances on Ed Sullivan, music was never the same again. 60 years later and there still is not a band , in my opinion, that has had more influence on music than these guys.
Absolutely majestic! Those first Ed Sullivan appearances in February 1964 give me shivers every time I rewatch them. Still one of the very best rock bands ever.
Ringo was on fire on this track. This is my favorite Beatles era. The later stuff was great too, but my childhood memories are of my sister and her friends dancing in the living room to the early Beatles records. Magical time.
I saw this show. I was 7. On my 9th B-day, I was lucky to see the boys Live ! 22Aug1965 Portland OR It was smack dab in the middle of Beatlemania ! girls were screaming and crying, at the same time They played for 35 mins. It seemed longer. While they played, I felt it was the best place to be on the Planet.
I was 14 when this came on, got a quitar a few weeks after. What an absolutely amazing performance. Everything was on display, talent oozing off the screen.
I watched them on the Ed Sullivan Show that February 9, not knowing who they were or where they were from. OK, I was all of seven. All I could think was, ugh, that hair! Now you watch these clips and you think, so what? Just seeing the four of them together makes everything right.
I was 1 1/2 years old when this premiered. I know my mom was a huge Beatles fan and most certainly watched this show. So I believe that I got to watch this as well, but just too young to remember.
They were a singing group that wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. The early days of that type of singing and playing, and they did it extremely well, propelled them to the “topper most” They exuded talent class and style. It warms your heart and makes you smile
On Sunday, February 9, 1964 The Beatles performed twice. Here is the reason: Brian Epstein had made a deal with Ed Sullivan that The Beatles would play on his show for 3 consecutive weeks. But there was a problem. The Beatles had to fly back to England on Saturday February 22, 1964 and wouldn't be able to appear the next day, February 23, 1964. So at 2:30pm on Sunday, February 9, 1964 about 700 people (mostly screaming girls) were let into Studio 50 and The Beatles preformed 3 songs live in front of that audience that was taped to be shown on the Sunday February 23, 1964 Sullivan Show to fulfill their contract. In that afternoon performance they did "Twist And Shout", "Please Please Me" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand". The audience was let out. The Beatles returned to their room at the Plaza Hotel. At 5pm they returned to Studio 50 and did a dress rehearsal for the 8pm show. Then they again returned to their hotel. They came back at around 7:30pm And at around 8:05pm performed live in front of a new audience of a little more than 700 people and for all America. Over 70 million people were tuned in to hear them play "All My Loving", "Till There Was You", and "She Loves You". Then other acts preformed. The Beatles came back in the second half of the show to do 2 more songs live. "I Saw Her Standing There" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand". John Lennon was never happy with this iconic performance for these reasons: Paul sang lead vocals on 3 of the 5 songs and the other 2 John sang in harmony with Paul. He felt that people watching would think that Paul was the leader of the group. He was right. When I watched the show as an 11 year old boy, I thought Paul was the leader. They even flashed his name first when putting the names under each Beatle. John was also unhappy about the fact his mic was too low in the mix.
I am assuming the harmonic for the Please Please Me performance was pre-taped or dubbed? Maybe there's a story there. Clearly the rest of it was recorded live.
@@MarkChesak Every Beatles performance on Ed Sullivan was live. No lip syncing or dubbing as you call it. John did not play the harmonica on Please Please Me on Ed Sullivan. It was just George doing the riff on his 1962 Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar plugged into a Vox AC 30.
I was 8 years old, I didn’t see the Ed Sullivan performance, I wasn’t in charge of the TV set and my parents were separating at the time, but I grew up loving The Beatles and so did mom who had custody of me,,,,”Please Please Me” is my favorite song 🎶
What a journey they took us on for the next six years. I still can't get my head around how they went from the mop-top band here to stuff like Come Together before our very eyes. It just defies explanation.
John was so confident and at ease behind the mic. The entire presentation of the group was dynamic and tight in this clip. Shows their great showmanship and mastering of the performance grooves they were in at this stage of the Beatles worldwide impact before live audiences.
Pasen todas las presentaciones ...a. Color...y con sonido perfecto...!!! Sería genial..!! Histórico de colección y para todas las generaciones...!!!!!!!que todos sepan quienes fueron y lo que hicieron y porque marcaron un antes y un después el la música y también con cambios sociales del mundooooooo!!!!!!!!
With all the craziness going on in the world right now, it just makes me smile when I hear one of the best songs from the greatest band that ever was!!
I was 7 when they came to NY, it was chaos around the city. I had to sneak out of my bedroom to watch the TV from behind the couch, what an experience!
Are you smiling listening back ? No autotune just live talent.. i sure smiled when i was young and caught the bug (ha ) it was well after the Beatles break up 70s but I'm 57 now still grips me today, Ringo drives it and song ,melody ,chords , harmonies , yep ! . The Beatles !
Excellent video, thank you !! Here we are, 60 years later in 2024, with this superb melody, tight harmony, quick tempo, and romantic lyrics. An early Beatles masterpiece ! People will listen to this one hundred years from now !!
Notice how John is singing and looking at the audience. He's not wearing his glasses so it's blinded about as a bat but the audience is relatively close and he can see the girls out in the audience just acting goofy as hell and he can see he's singing with a grin on his face it's a wonder he didn't just bust out laughing
Two minutes of sheer musical happiness. Love the look on John's face around the 34 second mark. They were having as much fun as the audience. Thank you for uploading this!
We can all argue about our favourite Beatles' songs. It's impossible for me to choose only the one - but this piece of majesty is always in my Top 5. Even without the harmonica. Beautiful.
wow, great color job! but the very coolest part of this video is to see john tune his guitar before launching into "PPM". i watch this performance just for that, over and over...
Their melancholy tunes were touching and memorable, but the up-tempo ones were my favorites. I was 10 when this aired. Little did we know we were experiencing something that would change the music and entertainment world forever.
Sadly I was only less than 3 months old when the lads made their debut on Ed’s show. So I probably slept through it. When you showed the crowd I wonder if any of them recognized themselves.
While doing Stand-Up at a restaurant in Philipsburg NJ, I learned Sid Bernstein was seated at a table having dinner with friends. We asked him to take a few minutes and talk about the Fab Four. Even in his 90s he charmed all of us with stories about the events leading up to the Beatles appearing at Shea Stadium in NY, and the Young Rascals. Rest in Peace Sid. ❤️
young John Lennon was something else, i just cant describe it. when i see footage of him in his 30s and with yoko ono, its like a complete different person. i love this early apperance so much! so full of energy!
The chord changes in this one happens SO DARN FAAAST ! lol Just finally worked 'em all out for myself - Key of E , naturally -- such a bright key, E ... ... It MEZMERIZES me, how Paul's SUCH an expert on all these changes, he doesn't even hafta look at his hands ONCE ... (A , F sharp min., C sharp min., A minor: back to E ...) etc. -- on all these rapid changes !!! Incredible ... and George and John - these luscious harmonies, eh, all?!! (THANK YOu always, GEORGE MARTIN, FOR WORKIN' 'EM ALL OUT AND ARRANGING '[EM, FOR THES 4 SUPER-POWERED SCOUSER LADS !!! ) -and Ringo's always PERFECT drums licks ... what an EXPLOSion they were ... !!! all through Hamburg and though rough, ruff, tough times ... These lads sure paid their dues. BEATLES FOREVER! ❤❤❤💗💓💙🙏
NOTE: This is an old colorization. It's not my proudest work, but I finally managed to get it unblocked, so enjoy! Color fades in at 0:08
Can you do one of twist and shout and I wanna hold your hand?
Thank you!
Nicely done. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Best way with colour
I wish I watched this earlier sorry Beatlealex but love it keep it up and lm just 9 years old

There was something about the Beatles that went far beyond the music. I can't explain it, but I know it's true.
Im 79 i was there in that TV studio they were just electric i,ll never forget it.

What a night...used to have a "John" cap,saw Hard Day's Night 11 x in the theater(1.25/ticket).History was made that night
@@kayequinn7146 it certainly was Kaye 👍
If there ever was a band ready for the big time it was the Beatles.
Their talent couldn’t be denied.
Yeah their years between hamburg and Liverpool paid off
They were already big before they appeared on this show!
I often wonder if it was really the big time that was ready.
Sure but not in the US.
What a tight band...practice makes perfect, all those hours in Liverpool and Hamburg paid off😊
Exactly and serendipity
The Beatles on Ed Sullivan was so important for us in 1964. If you weren't around you can't understand what it meant.
I was around waaaaaaaay back then, as i was10 in January 1964 - 5/24/2024 🤠 Canada . - THE BEATLES!!!! FOREVER!!
The Best Then Now And Forever
The only thing I can think to rival the Beatles coming to the USA was the first moon landing.
Best bass riff ever! My big sister saw them in 65! I met and talked to Queen in 76 but she will say I saw the Beatles 4th row..lol
well kennedy was murdered just three months earlier so the country was hurting and needed something to feel good about.
Ringo is just killing it on that drum kit. He drives this song. And the Beatles as a group/team look so poised, well-rehearsed and professional. Kudos to Brian Epstein for that.
I have no idea who is that
@@BrunskitANM Brian Epstein was their manager.

I was 6. ☆
Yes. This was the moment that woke up my little rock and roll heart.
I see what u did with that "yesterday" Punt there clever old chap
i remember it like it was 60 years ago!

I was a little boy when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan. A defining moment that woke up my little rock and roll heart. I'll never forget it.
No matter what kind of mood I’m in, early Beatles always make me smile.
What a great rendition of the song without the harmonica. They have been pleasing me for 60 years. I’m 73.
That bow at the end of their performances, no doubt suggested by Brian, was so classy.
That's still one of the best-sounding and coolest songs I've ever heard.
The sound of youthful optimism
Agreed!!!!
Yep, it’s a perfect little pop song. Tight, well constructed and just, well perfect.
I think it is their best song.....
@@rickjeren147 Certainly among their top five. The beginning is an instant mood lifter.
Power Pop Personified ! How hard this hit a 13 year old cannot be overestimated !

Ed Sullivan was a showman and he had a hunch....
I am 73 years old, and I saw them perform in the Bay Area. It was electric!!!
Absolutely majestic! Those first Ed Sullivan appearances in February 1964 give me shivers every time I rewatch them. Still one of the very best rock bands ever.
Think how iconic and embedded in our lives the combined sound of John and Paul's voices are!!
Brilliantly remastered. Probably what it sounded like on the Ed Sullivan stage.
Ringo was on fire on this track. This is my favorite Beatles era. The later stuff was great too, but my childhood memories are of my sister and her friends dancing in the living room to the early Beatles records. Magical time.
All you have to do is watch an old video like this one to understand how these boys took the world by storm 60 years ago.
and two of them are still rocking on

Well boys, I thnk you just got your first Number One hit
"Have a listen boys, and tell me if there's anything you don't like" George - "Well I don't like your tie for a start"
One of the most perfect and totally positive milestones of the 20th century.

The Beatles were a way of life. They learned by doing and passed that knowledge on to the rest of us.
no they didn't.
So true bestie 🙏
One of the most memorable performances by the Fab Four ever! Near perfect!

Sounds as fresh as it did in '64 and better than anything today.
On Sunday, February 9, 1964 The Beatles performed twice. Here is the reason: Brian Epstein had made a deal with Ed Sullivan that The Beatles would play on his show for 3 consecutive weeks. But there was a problem. The Beatles had to fly back to England on Saturday February 22, 1964 and wouldn't be able to appear the next day, February 23, 1964.

Excellent video, thank you !! Here we are, 60 years later in 2024, with this superb melody, tight harmony, quick tempo, and romantic lyrics. An early Beatles masterpiece ! People will listen to this one hundred years from now !!
Notice how John is singing and looking at the audience. He's not wearing his glasses so it's blinded about as a bat but the audience is relatively close and he can see the girls out in the audience just acting goofy as hell and he can see he's singing with a grin on his face it's a wonder he didn't just bust out laughing
John could only recognize people three feet in front of him. The audience would be blurry to him.
Best I've ever seen ❤
Two minutes of sheer musical happiness. Love the look on John's face around the 34 second mark. They were having as much fun as the audience. Thank you for uploading this!
Damn. They sound great
Superb! Absolutely superb‼️
🎶✌️😁❤️🎶👍
Amazing!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I like This song❤
We can all argue about our favourite Beatles' songs. It's impossible for me to choose only the one - but this piece of majesty is always in my Top 5. Even without the harmonica. Beautiful.
Quality colorization. Nice job. Such an epic and historic performance on Ed Sullivan.
I'm sure they were nervous but u can c their joy for being there✌️♥️
Thank you Beatlealex loved it never saw a live performance of that song keep them coming
It is stunning how good they are here. The singing is simply amazing.
カッコいい～🎉👍️
wow, great color job! but the very coolest part of this video is to see john tune his guitar before launching into "PPM". i watch this performance just for that, over and over...
Five words that changed the world that night
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles"
Ringo's drumming was ON FIRE during this song. It's a shame the camera showed so little of him.
Time machine back to sitting in font of an old black and white TV watching them on the Ed Sullivan show. Lives were changed forever that night.
Their melancholy tunes were touching and memorable, but the up-tempo ones were my favorites. I was 10 when this aired. Little did we know we were experiencing something that would change the music and entertainment world forever.
The Beatles are perfect. Period.
Never disappointed. Never.
Beatles forever. 😊
Sadly I was only less than 3 months old when the lads made their debut on Ed’s show. So I probably slept through it. When you showed the crowd I wonder if any of them recognized themselves.
This looks so good in color.
So tight. Power pop right out of the blocks.
While doing Stand-Up at a restaurant in Philipsburg NJ, I learned Sid Bernstein was seated at a table having dinner with friends. We asked him to take a few minutes and talk about the Fab Four. Even in his 90s he charmed all of us with stories about the events leading up to the Beatles appearing at Shea Stadium in NY, and the Young Rascals. Rest in Peace Sid. ❤️
young John Lennon was something else, i just cant describe it. when i see footage of him in his 30s and with yoko ono, its like a complete different person. i love this early apperance so much! so full of energy!
That’s Beatles and that magic ingredient they have ❤
The chord changes in this one happens SO DARN FAAAST ! lol Just finally worked 'em all out for myself - Key of E , naturally -- such a bright key, E ... ... It MEZMERIZES me, how Paul's SUCH an expert on all these changes, he doesn't even hafta look at his hands ONCE ... (A , F sharp min., C sharp min., A minor: back to E ...) etc. -- on all these rapid changes !!! Incredible ... and George and John - these luscious harmonies, eh, all?!! (THANK YOu always, GEORGE MARTIN, FOR WORKIN' 'EM ALL OUT AND ARRANGING '[EM, FOR THES 4 SUPER-POWERED SCOUSER LADS !!! ) -and Ringo's always PERFECT drums licks ... what an EXPLOSion they were ... !!! all through Hamburg and though rough, ruff, tough times ... These lads sure paid their dues. BEATLES FOREVER! ❤❤❤💗💓💙🙏
Glad to know all the old people can get to see this again with their own eyes in color like they did when they first saw them
But most of us saw it in black & white back then.
The entire world was black and white back then. In 1965, a natural phenomenon happened and suddenly colors came into existence. Man, that was weird!
Those were the days.
THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME THE IMMORTAL LEGENDARY BEATLES
Off the charts great!
Fantastic
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
