![The Beatles (Live at TV Concert, 1963) [REACTION VIDEO] | Rebeka Luize Budlevska](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/A5GpuNRvREk/mqdefault.jpg)
I weep for a generation that doesn't know the Beatles. I've got my grandkids covered and hopefully my great grandkids, if I make it that far.
I'm 19 and a huge Beatles fan. My younger brothers love their music as well.
@@reggie9595 you obviously have an ear for great music, young man. (And good parents too.)
@@YN97WA i’m 15 and love the beatles hopefully this generation will learn about them
@@jacewinfrey3045 I'm really glad to hear that. The Beatles are timeless.
It's not a question of generation... If you don't know Beatles it simply means that you don't love music.
The Beatles were years ahead of their time. My ex fiancee and I lived our relationship through the Beatles.
And the girls hearts went flutter by
Just simply the greatest band of all time. Everyone else is competing for 2nd place.
Yo I couldn’t have said it better simply the greatest band of all time
idk id say queen is pretty tied with beatles
I love how cool and skillful George is. Harmonizes with John on one mic... rips out a cool guitar solo... harmonizes with Paul on the other mic... then back to harmonize again with John. Not breaking a sweat. He was the secret weapon!
It was quite crazy. They didn't even have to be there to get that response. I went to the movie Hard Days Night at my local theater. Couldn't hear it over the screaming.
The crowd was so big to see a Hard Says Night in San Diego that I waited in line until the third showing. It was worth it.
This was their first live appearance on American TV, a truly historic moment. The Beatles are generally recognized as the most important rock group in history. In only eight years, they created some of the most incredible albums and hit songs in music, and are considered the most influential rock group ever. Unfortunately, their break-up was extremely nasty, but all four of them went on to highly successful solo careers. Bassist Paul McCartney and drummer Ringo Starr are the only two surviving members and both remained friends after the break-up. They still occasionally perform together to this day.
No, it's their second, recorded at the Deauville Hotel in Miami, Florida, on 16 February 1964. Their first live appearance on US TV was the same show a week earlier, 9 February 1964, in New York, when they opened with this song.
This is from the Miami show though.
No, it was not. That is from the afternoon rehearsal for their second appearance from Miami.
This was their 2nd appearance on Ed Sulivan Show. In 7 years (1963 - 1970) they released 13 albums. Their break-up was not as bad as reported.
North American TV.
Not just music but they were very influential in hair styles and cloth styles, just look at all the bands that started paying Rickenbacker guitars, a completely unknown company, because of john.
Now there is a big hole to go down if you start from the beginning. There is a reason we are still listening to them now and it is because "Yes" they were that good.
100 years from now, people will be familiar with the Beatles, just as we are familiar with Bach, Mozart or Beethoven today.. perhaps even more so, since we have actual video and recordings.
Courtney, I was sitting in my living room watching with my friends when the Beatles made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show! It was an HISTORIC EVENT and we knew it was when we watched it! THEY WERE THE BEST EVER!
Probably watching it on a black and white set with a 13" screen and about 100 lbs of cabinetry.
@@russellcyr4867 It was a 19” screen and a stand alone TV!
@@scottpollack1007 Wow...19"! You must have been a rich kid!
I wasn’t a RICH KID! Far from it!
@@scottpollack1007 ....just kidding, Scott.
The main reason why they stop touring was that the crowds were so loud that the band couldn't hear themselves perform.
Pfft 😅
Nor could we in this video.
and that touring was insane with the crowds making them hostages in hotels, and also their later albums were harder to recreate live
Paul McCartney on The Beatles quitting touring: "It's like working in a bell factory, after a while, you don't hear the bells anymore".
And when they stopped touring they blossomed, musically.
As an East Texas kid, I was knocked for a loop when I heard that Liverpool accent coming out of the Beatles. It was totally unfamiliar and unexpected. But I soon took it in stride because I was a dyed-in-the-wool Beatlemaniac and loved everything about them. This was a highly memorable and exciting TV experience.
Everyone seems to concentrate on the screaming fans (I was one of them), commenting on how The Beatles couldn't hear themselves singing. When the thing to notice is how they hit every note perfectly, despite the noise. That's how damn good they were!
"Not familiar with the Beatles." Well if one lives long enough, one's likely to hear the unimaginable.
Not surprised, I was once in a HiFi store back in the 90, back when they had hifi stores, and they were playing sgt peppers cd, and a guy listen said he liked it but what band was it. I jokingly said some new band I think they are called the Beatles, but i don't think he was joking.
I think it'd be better if she said a New Zealander listens to the Beatles. The gal in this song is/was an NZ star. th-cam.com/video/8UVNT4wvIGY/w-d-xo.html
English not British
@@tonychapman1912 er... both actually. And largely of Irish decent.
Thanks Paul for the reply. You are totally correct. Trying to think of an excuse why I wrote that. No, can't think of one. Have a good day.
It was the height of “Beatlemania”. I was a kid, but my older cousins were fans so I heard all about them. The girls screaming was par for the course at their live shows.
It was the BEGINNING of "Beatlemania" in the US.
Girls screaming is par for the course. Girls screamed for Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, etc. Don't know why girls scream. Dakota Fanning screamed through the whole movie War Of The Worlds. After a while it gets annoying.
Man you're a lucky bastard this generations sucks balls homie
The Beatles are the reason I became a musician. Listen to their songs; The Long and Winding Road, A day in the Life, Penny Lane, Rain, hell, just get their whole catalog from 1963-1970 and listen.
My favorite is In My Life. I love that song solely to the backing vocals and George Martin's piano solo.
I absolutely love watching people discover the Beatles.
A lot of people today don't realize how much of a musical influence the Beatles were. The number 1 songs on Billboard Top 100 just before the Beatles came: 1963 September 21 - Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton; October 12 - Sugar Shack by Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs; November 16 - Deep Purple by Nino Tempo & April Stevens; November 23 - I'm Leaving It Up To You by Dale & Grace; December 7 - Dominique by the Singing Nun; 1964 January 4 - There! I've Said It Again by Bobby Vinton. If you don't know these song, just check them out on TH-cam. Then go listen to the next three Billboard number 1 songs by the Beatles; I Want To Hold Your Hand, She loves You, Can't Buy Me Love. You'll notice a change in the music.
I was 7 years old when that aired on the Ed Sullivan Show. It's incomprehensible to me that someone hasn't seen this yet.
Watching you watch that brought tears to my eyes. Do yourself a favor and do a deep dive into the Beatles.....the greatest band ever!
This was their second performance on the Ed Sullivan Show from Florida the week after the initial show the week before. That date was February 9th, 1964 and on that evening over 73 million homes and televisions were tuned in to watch The Beatles and to this day 57 years later it's still the largest TV audience to watch a show in American history. I got to see The Beatles live in Pittsburgh, Pa. for my sixth birthday in September 1964. One of my best memories 57 years later. What planet or rock were you raised on or under young lady? The Beatles are the biggest and greatest band in the history of recorded music, they hold every record. You need to catch up and check them out unless you're not a music person.
Can you imagine being so old that you remember seeing this the first time it aired? I can and it makes me laugh.
I had a camera and since film and developing were so expensive, especially for a 12 year old, I knew I could only use one or 2 pictures, so I waited for a close up of John (my favorite Beatle at the time), and took a picture off the TV screen. Still have the photo today!
@@avlisk Awesome !
I grew up on the Beatles and Elvis. I’m 37 now. Thank you mom.
It was called "Beatlemania," and it was truly insane. I was just 7 1/2 when the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, and screaming began during the introduction, and didn't stop until the band had finished. Several girls were overcome and had to be assisted out of the theater. I became an instant fan, and received their first American LP for my 8th birthday. I'll be 65 in a couple of months, and I still love the Beatles...
My first memory of the Beatles was in 4th grade or so. My grandmother talking about them and their hair. I remember thinking "since when do bugs have hair?"
The Beatles' appearance on Sullivan in Feb. 1964 was a watershed moment in music. Their influence during the next six years as a band and songwriters changed the entire entertainment industry. Here in 2022, they still remain relevant as the most influential group in the world.
I remember waiting around all day to see the Beatles perform this. The whole day dragged. Even my Mom sat down to watch because we were so excited and she wanted to see why the kids were so hyper. My dad stuck his head in the room and watched from the doorway. When the first song was over, dad said "that's what all the excitement is about?" in a bemused contemptuous voice. I looked at him like he had just denied the existence of a round earth.
I’ve known of The Beatles since I was a little kid. My mom was probably a freshman in high school. That’s probably why I’ve loved them all my life. I LOVE THE BEATLES!
and beatle boots. i could hardly wait to get my own pair.
I went to A Hard Days Night in the theater. The girls were screaming in the audience. I will never forget that.
Never heard or watched The Beatles before? As a Beatles fan, I love seeing first time reaction videos, I really loved your reaction.
Get into it sister. The journey will take you on quite a ride. The evolution of their music overtime is most remarkable.
The lineup: James Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr), and John Winston Lennon. Original lineup had Stuart Sutcliffe on bass guitar and Pete Best on drums.
I think Pete Best got screwed by Beatles' then producer, George Martin. Beatles' then manager, Brian Epstein fired Best. Don't get me, Ringo is a good drummer, but Pete helped his bandmates to get there in their fame. On the cusp of 1st recording, he was fired. It was stated that Paul and John felt that handling of Best's firing should have been better.
I learned that Best got some money on early recordings on Beatles' Anthology 1.
@@MrTech226 if you listen to the studio version of "Love Me Do", it's Andy White on drums
@@maxwellharris507 The album version yes, the single version was Ringo
@@DavidGigg the very first recording has Pete Best playing
@@MrTech226 Pete Best got fired because he wasn't good enough and because the other three didn't particularly like him. They didn't hate him, mind you, but he never really fit in. He was a guy who played the drums (not brilliantly, just good enough for club gigs), and then went home, while the other three were TIGHT -- they liked to hang out together even when they weren't playing or rehearsing.
Oh, and George Martin wasn't the first producer to say Pete wasn't good enough, he was at least the third Polydor and Decca producers also rated Pete as inadequate.
Beatles, Paul McCartney (left hand base guitar), John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Star (Richard Starkey) on drums. From Liverpool, England. The first time they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show was 9 Feb 1964. The theatre had about 7,000 requests for ticks for about 700 seats
I remember watching this on TV when l was 8 years old. The next day at school EVERYBODY was talking about it! The excitement they created was phenomenal! ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I doubt that we'll ever see another band as influential as the Beatles. The way the four men made music together was incredible.
I was 13 when Beatles came to USA,. we couldn't wait for each album to be released. Great times
Loved watching you experience them and Beatlemania for the first time. I was 10 when that show aired. I cried like crazy! It was a phenomenon I can’t even explain but I think you felt it yourself!😊
Look at it this way. You get to look forward to listening to a lot of good music. It may surprise you just how much music the Beatles produced in a relatively short amount of time.
I started my Barber career the year they toured the United States and everyone wanted to look like "The Beattles".
I was born after they broke up & I wanted to look like "The Beatles".
I saw this broadcast live on a Sunday night. My most prominent memory is of my Dad yelling at my brother & I "What the Hell is this crap?"
That performance literally changed the lives of many, many people. I was one of thousands of young boys who decided that night to learn music and start a band. I shouldn't say boys only; Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart) saw this performance as well, and once said that most of their girlfriends at school wanted to date the Beatles; the two of them wanted to BE the Beatles:).
take a look at film of their arrival in Australia. Now THAT'S "Beatle mania"!
Yes, and the Melbourne concert is the best recorded concert of all. All the others have been "enhanced" in recent years.
What gets lost in their live performances (and what ultimately caused them to want to quit touring) was how GOOD they were live. Their musicianship, their harmonies, they actually could sound as good or better than the record live if it wasn’t for all the damn screaming (or if they had stage monitors and amplifiers powerful enough to overcome the screaming which wouldn’t be developed for another 6 years after this)
They were magnificent. They were ahead of their time.
The Beatles.
I was thinking about what everyone has been saying about how they were ahead of their time. I have said it too, but I realized just now that that is incorrect. They weren't ahead of their time they defined their time. This is much more important. Frank Zappa was ahead of his time but was less important overall than the Beatles. The Beatles were the time.
Embarrassed to say that I'm old enough to remember this. Live on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Me too. ((
I'm afraid to say that I, too, remember this as well. I think I was 13 at the time!
Me too. I wonder how much glue was used to keep those girls in their seats. 🤔
@@dilbertdoe601 Yes! Laura Keene was fabulous!
You'll love them. I'm a child of the sixties.
I grew up listening to there music. In my sixties now n I still listen to this great music. It's timeless. John is no here but his music live on.
i was 5 years old when they were on ed Sullivan. my parents had went out to eat and my little sister and I had a teenage girl babysitting us and she went absolutely nuts watching the beatles lol. at 63 years of age now i know i witnessed rock history that night.
They _were_ British, here visiting the U.S. for the first time to appear on _The Ed Sullivan Show_ (the second week, in this case, filmed in Miami, Florida instead of New York City as the show, and their first week on it, normally were) and give concerts in New York and Washington DC. Being in the U.S., they refer to the record company, Capitol Records, that released the album containing the song in that country.
I saw this live . I was 7. Beatlemania . It was enormous !. They came to Dallas but I was too young to go...
aThis was a live performance, no lip synching or precorded soundtrack like many artists do today.
Hi Courtney! This is my second video of yours that I've watched and it's great like your Abbott & Costello video from a month ago. What you just saw, Courtney, is an excerpt of the American television program, The Ed Sullivan Show, with The Beatles appearing on that program for the second consecutive week(Sunday, February 16, 1964). The previous week from that very same program, The Beatles performed before the largest television audience in American television history(Sunday, February 9, 1964) at approximately 73.7 million people( the comedy series The Beverly Hillbillies held the previous record set on Wednesday, January 8, 1964, with the airing of the episode "The Giant Jack Rabbit," where the main character "Granny" mistakes a kangaroo for a wild jackrabbit) watching the band that had been the subject of conversation with American teenagers since the previous month, thanks to the release of the record "I Want To Hold Your Hand" that hit No. 1 on America's multiple music charts. That song, and the group themselves, had produced such fanatical hysteria throughout America that Americans had to see for themselves the sensation The Beatles caused for its young people of that time. And even 57 years later, it's unbelievable to see that hysteria unleashed before one's eyes from that period of time. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 📺📺📺📺📺 😁😁😁😁😁
I believe this was from their second appearance on Ed Sullivan broadcast from the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach. They also did an excellent version of 'This Boy' on the show.
I was a seven year old kid when my family and I, along with 73 million other Americans, watched their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. I am now a 65 year old man, and my brothers and sisters and I still love The Beatles. It really is strange that we knew that we were watching something special that night, and that we would never forget it. This video was just the beginning for The Beatles. They just kept getting better and better as the years passed. Amazingly great music that they recorded for the short time that they were together. Do yourself a huge favor and start listening to The Beatles music. You'll be so glad you did.
I'm 66 years old and still enjoy the Beatles as much now as I did then, possibly more.
I watched this performance on television with my aunt and uncle and my cousins in Beaumont, Texas. I'll never forget my uncle's reaction (in a southern drawl...) LOOK AT THAT HAIR!!! LOOK AT THAT HAIR!!!
For seven years they released a new hit single EVERY MONTH. And every six months an album that became a classic. No one will ever do that again.
You can't fully appreciate popular music from 1970 to today without an appreciation and understanding of the Beatles. They literally changed the music landscape by themselves. Some of their stuff seems weird and primitive and archaic nowadays, but trust me; they were world-changers. If nothing else, they created the Sgt. Pepper album, the Abbey Road album, and the Let It Be album. But there was more. There was so much more.
They started out as a bar band doing covers. Then they started writing their own songs. Without all their concerts and tours, there never would have been Sgt. Pepper and all the studio music.
I was in 6th grade, a few months shy of 12 when I saw this live. As I sit in my den typing this message I have two little box to my left that I read over and over. I am now 69 years old I am a retired teacher coach and as a musician I dabble in music trying to use a lot of the Beatles technique. In there 8 years they ( mainly Lennon and McCartney ), that other groups or people sang. Celia Black and 3 Dog Night did IT’s For You, Peter and Gordon WORLD WITHOUT LOVE, Many songs by Badfinger were written by the lads. I believe the song Come and Get It, was written and produced by Paul McCartney.
I remember watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show although I think it was when they sang She Loves You. The captions named each of them, and when it came to John Lennon, the caption said, "Sorry, girls, he's already taken."
In the late 90s my daughter was in high school. She was never a big rock fan. She sat and watched a Beatles Anthology with me on television. When all was said and done, She exploded into Beatles fandom.
As a kid I remember being over my aunt's house (modern type family they were both 2-4 years older than myself and my siblings, and we'd play these beatles 45 over and over. Hard Day's Night, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. And I also don't know how anyone cannot know who the Beatles are, even if you are young.
My dads friend was a trainer and was Friends with george harrison
The first time I saw them was on Jack Paar's Tonight show, (before Johnny Carson), when he ran a clip of them in England and was making fun of their haircuts. Little did they know...
I first heard them in October, 1963 on Chicago radio. And during December, 1963, on an all-night Boston radio show, I heard "I Want to Hold Your hand" -- it wasn't playing on daytime radio. Then, because of many requests, he began playing "Hand" even more, then started playing, "I Saw Her Standing There" (which he introduced as the "B"-side of "and,", which was not true).
I vividly recall him eventually explaining that they were, "The latest big thing in England," and that, "They aren't going to go anywhere."
Hi Courtney. Lovely to see you again my friend. Yes you hear all the girls screaming. It got so bad that they performed their last live concert in 1966 because they couldn't hear themselves when they played. They broke up in 1970, long before you were born, so it's not surprising that you don't have much knowledge or experience with the Beatles. Their first live introduction to America was on my 9th birthday, Feb 9 1964, on the Ed Sullivan show so I was introduced to them at a young age.
3 generations of my family gathered around the black n white television to watch the beginning of Beatlemania in the USA.
All members loved the Beatles.
I still have my first 2 Beatle albums..( had to replace all my others due to bit of a basement flood ).
As of this comment. 12 1 2022, I'm 67. I've been a Beatlemaniac since February of 1964...
You'll know if you're becoming one when the magic hits you!
This is one of their earlier songs/performances and generally when they performed the audiences were completely hysterical. They actually stopped touring in 1966, because they couldn't hear themselves when they were performing, although this was also down to poor PA technology at the time. After that they were solely a studio band and, whilst their music had already developed and diversified a lot by that time, this gave them even more opportunity to experiment and develop their abilities. They became pioneers of multiple music genres, even creating what many people agree to be the first heavy metal song and they did all of this in the space of seven years, while they were all still really young. Between 1963 and 1970, they released 13 studio albums and, when they split in 1970, George Harrison was still only 25, Paul was 26, John and Ringo 28. It's unbelievable that anyone could be that young and have that body of work behind them.
Hi Courtney.
110,000 Subscribers is very impressive :)
The Beatles played in front of 70 Million in this video as the introduction to The USA!
To demonstrate the extent of their popularity HALF A MILLION fans lined the streets from Adelaide Airport to their hotel when they stayed there :)
Hello Courtney. The video you're watching is of The Beatles rehearsal performance for the Ed Sullivan Show from Miami on 2/16/64.
You can guess how old I am when I say I was outside playing army with Lance and Butch Stewart and we had to quit to go in and watch the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. My dad was a barber on a sub in the navy so he always cut my brother's and my hair, which was always a buzz cut. When the Beatles came along, we ssked him to leave us bangs so he gave us Hitler's mustache on our foreheads, which we promptly cut off. After that we started saving our lawn moving money and paid for a barber. Our first Beatles record in our house I Wanna Hold Your Hand, followed by Eight Days a Week. We wore those records out. Hard DAy's Night movie was life changing and I copped my first feel listening to Hey Jude.
I've got a DVD of all the performances' of The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Davey Jones of the Monkees also performed on the first night when he was in the musical "Oliver." The DVD also came with all the original TV commercials at the time which made it additionally interesting.
The Beatles only recorded together for about 7 years. In that time, their music evolved exponentially. They have influenced the direction of music for generations. Listen to the Beatles first album Please Please Me, then listen to their last Abby Road and listen to the difference. I have a hard time picking a favorite album, but I would have to rank Abby Road as my favorite due to how it was produced, even though I find Rubber Soul to be really enjoyable.. Others would cite Sargent Peppers or maybe The Beatles white album as their best. Listen to the Beatles and you will find a sound that you will enjoy. :)
Facts
Back then audiences were told they would be removed if they got out of their seats. It had to be so hard to not jump up. Great video!
I remember skipping Bonanza that Sunday evening to watch the Beatles.....Beatlemania was born and we couldn't get enough of their music, movies and cartoons. The rest is history.
The band with the most #1 hits in history.
I was 13 years old and saw them live in Santa Monica, California USA.
Changed my life, I put down the ball and bat and picked up an instrument and then multiple instruments. I’ve been playing continuously since 1964 and have no thoughts of stopping.
That began a 6 year period of the Beatles changing music like no one did before or after.
This woman seems well spoken, personable, media savvy and on-the-ball. It certainly is hard to believe that she doesn't know what all the fuss was about.
I think this was from their second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, one week after their American television debut. The debut was on 17th of February, 1964; and the girls in that audience were LOUD.
lmaoooo. they go crazyyy!!!
Correction: February 9th is the actual date, I goofed
Have no recollection of the Beatles doing this song on the second appearance in Miami. Can't believe how everyone says they remember their appearance on the first Ed Sullivan show. I remember Ed saying The Beatles and then them opening with All my Loving. All my Loving was not on the second show at all. Not sure where this video is from but not from the first two Ed Sullivan Shows. Sorry.
That’s called Beatlemania! Girls would actually get so excited they would faint! I probably would have fainted too. The Beatles had a real gift for making people feel they were singing just to them.
Love watching you watching the peerless Beatles. They influenced The Bee Gees and practically everybody else who ever picked up an instrument or sang. You're adorable!
Some artists, change the style,the sound,the cultural landscape of a generation-they changed the world!
to understand Beatlemania, you need to see live performances at outdoor stadiums like Shea Stadium in New York and many others. Ed Sullivan was a very small TV studio audience. They dominated pop music with many hits from 1963 to 1966. Then the produced in studio, the Sargent Pepper's album that changed rock music. Still Later, there are truly beautiful and classic songs such as Something, Hey Jude, Let it Be. If you react to more Beatles songs, you need to decide whether to do so in chronological order (which I suggest), or by popular request.
I'm old enough to remember this show- but I also remember other artists and songs that formed souls in those years. If you're interested I can recommend a few.
You don't remember this show, because it was the untelevised afternoon rehearsal for their second appearance from Miami.
This was their first appearance on US TV, it was going to get a lot more crazy.
I was 13vyears old then living in southern California. I watched this on TV and so did most of my friends! This was really a key part of the beginning of new kinds of music and a revolution in rock and roll.
Opening lines of Erich Segal's best-selling novel, later made into a hit movie, "Love Story":
"What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful. And Brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. And the Beatles. And me."
Remembering from The Shire...I am just old enough to remember them on the Ed Sulivan show...They also made a couple of movies you should check out..."A Hard Days Night" and "Help"...Both were mindless bits of fluff that were very watchable...Enjoy...
It demonstrates how happy they made their audience. They had a profound effect.
There is a PBS Documentary with a reporter who traveled with them. Beatlemania was EVERYWHERE!
I have been to 2 live concerts of The Beatles one in 1965 the Hollywood Bowl and Dodger Stadium 1966 it one my greatest concerts I went to.
They broke up more than 50yrs ago, two of them have died and they still sell more albums annually than many modern artists.
Actually, three of them have died. Stu Sutcliffe (he was the original bassist) passed away at 21 from a brain hemorrhage after getting into a fight while in Germany
I was a tiny tot when the Beatles first appeared on the scene, but all the kids in my school were instantly rabid fans. No other music I heard as a child mattered to me.
You just witnessed perhaps THE cultural turning point of entertainment in the 20th century. 73 million people tuned in to watch this performance and were blown away by it. No one in America had seen anything like this before, and nothing was the same afterwards.
I know that views and plays on places like Spotify are the metrics today, but the Beatles have sold more recordings than anyone in the history of the planet. Over 600 million albums as of this year.
So there are 9 people for every copy of a Beatles album.
This is sooooooooo life! I love when George comes in with Paul on the harmonies with his cool Carl Perkins solo
2 things you rarely see. John and George sharing a microphone (Sharing with Paul made more sense as Paul is left handed so less chance of bumping when turning towards audience) and George and Paul singing together without John. I don't know if they always performed that verse with just Paul and George or if John just didn't feel up to singing that verse that day.
Something I have noticed is the lineup is always the same, George in the middle, Paul on his right and John on his left. Even in a lot of studio videos I've seen, they seem to stay that way.
I was 12 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show...still remember as if it was yesterday. Living through that era was an awesome experience.
Beatlemania was something else. Their fans tested the resolve of police and airport security everywhere they went. In some instances, they had to use firehoses to clear fans away.
Even after almost 60 years, the influence of the Beatles is still present. There was no band that dominated the musical landscape like they did.
"In some instances, they had to use firehoses to clear fans away."
False. You're conflating police actions against civil rights activists during the same years.
@@jnagarya519 Actually, you're the one that is false, and choosing to make that conflation on my part. Look up 1964: Beatlemania published by the Atlantic
It is estimated that 73 million Americans were watching that night as the Beatles made their live U.S. television debut.
You might enjoy watching "A Hard Days Night" Great movie.
One of the reasons the Beatles stopped performing live was due to the P.A. Systems of the time were not able to provide the band with enough sound to overcome the crowd noise on stage for them to hear themselves play.
Never heard the Beatles? That's like not knowing who Mozart was.
Or what planet we live on!
They were considered long haired stars at the time and it was the start of men growing their hair to actually go over their ears. Lol
This is from the afternoon rehearsal for their second appearance from Miami.
This was the third weekend, down in Miami, and the tickets went to 'grownups' mostly. The youngsters were told to stay seated and shut up, and if you find their first performances in NYC, the crowds are considerably more energized.
Not they "were", they "are". I don't know where the world might be without The Beatles. They changed everything.
my dad was not a beatles fan but loved this song love from GB
She said how famous they were, but it's how famous they are!
