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.

Brian looks so happy singing and playing with his bro Carl....a happy time for him I hope!
Carl was just 18 here, what a life he must`ve lived. He is sorely missed.
Mature beyond his years---the most mature of the Beach Boys, in my opinion---even if he was the youngest
Three months short of 18, actually; he was born on December 21, 1946.
@@orbyfan thank you mr actually
Must of killed him in that moment that he flubbed the intro
Brian Wilson is probably one of the greatest songwriters of this generation. He is amazing at harmony writing and song writing
Brian Wilson was made by owner of the behind the beach boys years
Brian Wilson IS one of the best songwriters of all time, of Any era of popular Music. He's a truly genius songwriter and singer.
@@derekllewellyn6663 Where are your big hits?
Dennis Wilson had so much charisma. The way he played those drums was just great.
very talented one. a bit waste
He did. We do. It is a bit overwhelming though for us types. We are not that strong... 😎
And the way he married his niece
Dennis Wilson is my favourite beach boy anyway
@@jack18775 yeah inc*st is very admirable right
Don't worry baby... Rhonda's gonna make you forget all about Wendy.
I read a Brian Wilson autobiography once. In his darkest days he ended up in a hospital. The nurse’s name tag had Rhonda on it. He looked up from his bed and said, “Help me Rhonda.” True story.
@@catdaddy3302 One of my parents' friends had a doctor named Rick James examine him when he got in a car crash. (This was before I was born, and the car crash was ultimately fatal).
hahahaha great! regards from the UK
@@catdaddy3302 might be true but Help Me Rhonda was before Brian had his breakdown
@@catdaddy3302 galya peeva she was still saved beach boys years before New York times picture awards TCM
Gotta love that shot of Dennis during the guitar solo. Further proof TV directors don't know what they're doing.
Have noticed the same thing on other video clips of other groups.
@@beatle9239 Oh yeah, TV directors don't nkow what they're doing when comes to shooting bands. They'll show the bass player during the guitar solo, the singer or the drummer during a keyboard solo etc. One of my favorites of this thing was when the band Motorhead appeared on the British TV show The Young Ones. The band had two guitarists at the time, and during the middle of the song, the two guitarists trade off solos, one guy solos, then the other, then back to the first guy, then second guy again. And there's not one single shot of either guitarist while he's soloing. They invariably show the guy who's playing rhythm guitar during the OTHER player's solo!
As a lead guitarist: pet peeve...
For early rock music and TV ratings, it was all about the screaming girls. Nobody thought this was going to last, so the soloist got no airtime. Dennis was the best looking guy. Not much has changed.
@@SeekerGoOn2013 Yeah, but that continued to be a problem forever after. Watch footage of almost any band during the 70's or 80's even, the same thing happens, they show the wrong band members during the solos. The only time doesn't happen is when you're watching some concert video that was produced for the home video market, or MTV or osmething like that, where they could take the time and cut it together later (and then, often times, you'd get out of sync shots because the director decided he wanted a given shot at a given time, but would pull it from somewhere else in the show, or it'd be a few beats off).
Brian with that amazing falsetto and you can barely even tell he’s singing, the cameramen seemed confused where to look haha!
Oh, there's a guitar solo? Better point the camera at the drummer!
@@franklehouillier8865 it's funny 'cos drummers often got ignored.!
@@franklehouillier8865 Exactly! So frustrating!
Rock 'n' roll was still relatively new at that particular time. There was still an alienation between the older generation, who didn't like/understand rock 'n' roll, and the kids, as there had been in the 1950's.
The person at the control panel monitoring the screens wasn't familiar with the Beach Boys music (likely being older), so he didn't know which camera to switch to at what time. Either that, or they didn't establish much going forward in rehearsals.
If you want to see a good example of a crew that is apparently unfamiliar with the music they are filming, you can check out the Beatles' first recorded concert in the U.S., at Washington D.C., in 1964. The crew filming it really didn't know how to highlight who was performing, and as a result, the filmed performance looks unprofessional, by our slick standards of today. On the other hand the way it turned out really makes it something of a timepiece.
Everybody is blaming the cameraman, who is only following the Directors instructions. Directors never wasted time listening to songs and was probably totally unfamiliar with the song. To them, it was just 3 minutes of filler before the juggling bears came up.
Seems odd that they seemed to avoid showing the guy doing most of the singing, the leader and brains behind the band.......Brian.
Incredible! The Beach Boys at their prime with Brian performing.
Classic line-up in their hey-day. I wish Brian hadn't bailed
@@intercommerce He stayed behind writing Pet Sounds. Worth it
I thought Brian’s Hair was dark brown, not blonde 😂
one of my favorite bands, this time period was their best.
@@nataliarobinson9514 he might’ve been one of those blondes where when you cut your hair it grows back darker
Man I love how Dennis's drum beat sounds here! I love simple punchy back beats like that. Anyone else like or notice Dennis's kit?
Drums were a bit too high up in the mix .
DENNIS FIRST PUNK DRUMMER...
Love Dennis’s drumming!
Although he didn't play on the records he was obviously a very good drummer!
@@sugarjoe50 interesting, didn't know that. That might be why I like how the drumming sounds here better. On the record, it's more lower and blended with the music. But here I just love how it stands out!
Dennis always makes me smile. So sad he died so young.
Carl was a great singer. I must say that they do focus on Dennis a lot. He had a ton of character.
Such a shame how he deteriorated due to booze and drugs. The last concert he was at with the group, his voice was gone and he could barely function. What a sad end.
@@rocketmom60 he was a badass and a real surfer.
@@joejones9520 live fast, die young. A shame but he lived the life he wanted.
Don't mind me, I'm just over here screaming for sweet Brian. 😍
The greatest pop band in history. Don’t argue with me.
ABBA?
Beatles ? 🙂
Yea, they were fantastic.
@@Jack51971 no
@@Wooburnmusic beatles we’re a rock band. I think The Beach Boys we’re as well, but a case for them being a pop band could be made I guess.
Pure class. My favorite group together with The Beatles
Awesome harmony!
You got that right
Yes, for sheer musical creativity the Beach Boys and the Beatles were equals, and no one else could touch them.
Master Class
My fav bands are those 2 and ABBA
Kind of amusing how much the camera seems to like Dennis Wilson on this performance, even at the expense of co-lead singer Mike Love. The harmonies here are much tighter than another live 1964 recording that can be found on TH-cam.
Yes, and why not show Carl when he plays the solo. Great performance nonetheless.
@@colinsellers9714 WTH????? camera man ripped us off!!!
Cause Dennis is better looking
@@AmazingAwesomeAlaska, yep, the Director knew exactly what the girls at home wanted to see.
I know I'm showing my age, but I remember watching this particular show!
Me too!
It freaks me out when we can look back on stuff and remember watching it, it happened to me the other day watching top of the pops
Lol, you must be 80.
@@lamarravery4094 68
@@rslitman That's not so old. You're lucky to be alive to hear all that glorious music from the 60s and 70s and even 80s. I was an 80s kid.
The drummer looks so laid back. :)
Why not both?
California dude.
@@susankennedy5739 What an ugly statement, shame on you Susan.
@@dickrichards9650 Sorry, just a lame joke. I'll take it down.
Carl was the man what a voice man
One of the few Musical Variety Shows where the artists performed live.
Dennis was a chick magnet ! He looked like 'hey I'm lovin' this! Girls sceaming? Yeah, baby...!'
Still one of my favorite songs.
Yes but why was he hanging out with Charlie Manson and his girls? Was repeatedly being treated for VD. He looks more like a rocker than the rest of the band though.
What a sound. Dennis was the real "Beach Boy"...that is, until he got mixed up with the Manson family....
@@clarkewi - Ultimately, Dennis was able to separate himself from Manson. At some point, Charlie and his "Family" moved in with Dennis in his leased Sunset Blvd. mansion. To escape, Dennis simply walked away from the property. Some Beach Boys gold albums ended up at the Baker Ranch in Death Valley. Afterwards, Dennis commented that he lost property to Manson; others lost everything, including their lives.
Dennis should have been the lead singer and Mike Love should have been put way way way behind the band on drums.
@@asu.jaguar6739 - There are no limits to what Mike Love haters will go to to criticize the man. Your post is pure nonsense.
Ed had ‘em all. Thank you Ed.
Brian looks happy here...and I'm just noticing how much he and Carl resemble one another.
Carl was a senior at Hawthorne High school when I was a freshman
that's cool, did you see him in the halls and stuff, was he a big deal at that time? I wish I had lived in that time and place.
Carl and David Marks both attended some school in Hollywood for artists. This was for their final years of HS.
Damn and I thought I was old.
Cool though
Was he a cool guy?
I live in Hawthorne from 1991 to 1994 and never knew the BB were from there 😂
Their harmonizing was amazing, great band
The cool thing about this , is the expressions on their faces, that this is real and Awesome
I think the same things....just seemed like so much innocence and freshness. Humble.
Dennis must've had a line of girls waiting for him after this show judging by how many girls were screaming for him in this performance
Of course! I bet he railed one of them after the show
@@nataliarobinson9514 probably. I remember you
Ummm.... I don’t think so, I remember The Beach Boys!
@@nataliarobinson9514 From the all my loving video
someone someone which one I’ve watched many
First of all ..people talk about "the Wrecking Crew" being a big part of their studio sound...but I say..they sound Great live!!
Pure innocent genius!!!
I always hear musicians saying that playing live and playing in the recording studio are 2 different talents. The fact that Brian used the Wrecking Crew made for great recordings. But after watching a lot of Beach Boys live on TH-cam videos, they were a fine live act, playing the instruments, too.
@@avlisk Yes, it sheer laziness of mind when people say they didn't play their instruments. As time went on, and as Brian expanded as a producer, he wanted the best. Plus, he could create in the studio while the rest of them were off playing shows with his replacements, first Glen Campbell, then Bruce Johnston. One big thing though, when you look at those session sheets, you'll see Carl playing here, Dennis playing there, Brian too. Even on Pet SOunds and Smile, it wasn't all the Wrecking Crew.
One of the other things (and the whole reason I ever explored them) was the respect they got from Clapton and Beck, both loving the older lead guitar solos of Carl's (you see plenty of video of Carl)...and of course Brian's writing (makes me wonder if that studio work Beck and Brian worked on back in 2013 will ever get finished).
It's The Beach Boys (for the most part) who played on their first 7 albums, it wasnt until The Beach Boys Today (1965) that the Wrecking Crew came in
What a performance, The Beach Boys and the 4 Seasons are two of my all time favorite bands.
Mine also!🥰 Love the falsetto guys and harmonies
Both groups kept up their hit making during the British Invasion. It was the end of their careers for so many American artists. But the Beach Boys and Four Seasons continued on throughout it all. Both were unstoppable. Speaks well for their creativity.
Are you a Lou Christie fan? He might be right up your alley.
@@vanillajack5925 a big fan of Lou Christie and definitely an under rated singer song writer of his time. It’s really a shame the so called music industry picks and chooses who is to remain relevant in the Industry. The Four Seasons were one of the most successful bands who wrote their own material whiling playing their own instruments and they are not given their due respect.
@@georgemusic4all4seasons You've got good taste!
Mike Love hasn’t been carded since he was 10
LOL the girls all scream for Dennis!
Yes. You can tell he knows it too. LIttle grin...lol
I always thought all the girls screamed for Carl and Brian
Love Dennis’s drumming!
@@Cinemagoer_64 , Amazing that Dennis ONLY learned the drums because that's the instrument that Brian, Carl, Mike and Al needed filled for their band. I think both Carl and Dennis took their basic drumming lessons at Hawthorne High School.
Dennis looks stoned.
The really great, unbelivable thing about that performance is it was done live...no lip-sync, no instrument track.....just great mic placement and incredible performers.....!!!!!!!
FTW Denny was one of the best r&r drummers ever !
1:42 Oh my god... that short deep harmonisation is soooo good.
Notice how every time the camera is on Dennis the girls scream
It is when he plays that signature drum fill.
A friend of mine worked at his old bar, in Santa Monica, the Chez Jay.
and they stop when camera goes on Mike :)
@@grzegorztylec7534 no for real
Wow - so cool to see a completely live performance! Good job boys!
Carl's solo with the Jaguar ....for live the tone was 65 surf guitar gold !!!! Carl
No, it's Carl on the Fender Jaguar.
This is way better than the studio version!
A simple but captivating song, I guess this cover at the show is much better than the Original performance. Love from Pakistan.
those harmonies make my heart melt. greatest of all time.
Legendary
This just sounds like one of those songs that would have been a challenge for the band to replicate live. But they pulled it off! And Carl's guitar solo replicating the organ solo was immaculate! He was a brilliant teenager in his own right! And the girls went crazy over his guitar solo, too!
stupid, double-dumb-$$ cameraman, who panned off from Carl, doing th solo!!! :-(
i was honestly so surprised when i heard the album version because of the organ! i thought its always a guitar haha
@@dmer-zy3rb Well, if Carl had a Leslie speaker l(which Jimmy Page used and later James Honeyman-Scott did with the Pretenders on "Message of Love") he could have made his guitar sound like an organ and that might have saved brother Brian from hiring a session musician!
So many Great Groups owe some of their popularity to Mr. Ed Sullivan for Center Staging Them in Sunday Prime Time. And don’t forget Topo GIGO.
Great live version of this awesome song
I've always loved the name Wendy.
I love this song, beautiful Wendy ❤️
I never noticed that Dennis played open handed till this vid! So cool!
When the group's were clean cut dressed nice and sang great much. Great song great group ❤💖❤💙💖💙
Hello Theresa, How are you doing?
Wow! They sound terrific. 👍
Dennis doing a pretty good job of drumming..
The bass has great punch and drums have snap. Love it!!
Yeah that snare sounds awesome.
I love the beach boys very much! Thanks to my parents for loving them and showing me to me. I love this song so much! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Brian daughter is Wendy
This guitar solo sounds better than the organ on the studio version!
Love Brian and Dennis,Carl too.
these five were such a solid band
All the groups that I connected with in the 60s specialized in vocal harmony and this was a classic example. I still sing a harmony part to myself as I listen to it.
They were a great live band.
Wish we could go back to this era. ❤❤❤
So good hearing them 50 years later....
According to Wikipedia, The Beach Boys played all the instruments on the record too;
The Beach Boys
Al Jardine - harmony and backing vocals, electric rhythm guitars, bass guitar
Mike Love - lead and bass vocals
Brian Wilson - chorus falsetto lead vocals, harmony and backing vocals, upright or grand piano, Hammond B3 organ, producer, arranger
Carl Wilson - harmony and backing vocals, electric lead guitars
Dennis Wilson - harmony and backing vocals, drums
Production staff
Chuck Britz - engineer
I can’t imagine how cool that would be, hitting a few notes and having women screaming for you 😂 you can see their faces like “yeah we’re still getting used to that”
This is the song people sing at me sometimes. 😅
Quite amazing how great they sounded and the harmonies. I have rarely heard that perfection from any band live. That’s why they are so beloved and had 21 number one hits. There will never be a band like them ever.
"Wendy," one of my favorites by the Beach Boys.
The BBs did a great job keeping true to their recordings on this show with Wendy and I Get Around. Just the 5 of them. Now it takes a "tribute band" of maybe 8 musicians plus some of the original BBs fronting it to sound maybe as good. I've seen the BBs every decade since the 60s. They were at their zenith in the 60s.
This is why I'm so happy Ed Sullivan clips are being shown. All live performances. Key performers of their times. Many years of production, too. The Ed Sullivan theatre was built for these live performances.
When i was little i heard this song on the radio and it became my favorite BB song from then on.
Dennis shows off some somple. Yet superb drumming skills to compliment Carl,'s visionarry surl sound guitar licks. Both these instrumental contributiond are often drowned under the tidal wave of otherworldly vocal harmonies and left relatively forgotten. Shouldn't be the case
Ah, man, fabulous
Dennis, the most loved drummer in history.
His wife he punched probably didn't love that too much. Some people even frown upon marrying your cousin, shocker
@@joemorton8009 "I like this person. Oh, well here's a reason why you shouldn't."
Thank you, kind sir. You didn't have to be here, but you were.
Okay then I’m coming back
The slight look of panic on Mike Loves face when the tape echo wasn't switched on on his first vocal line is priceless 1:34
The Beach Boys la banda más grande de América
The best of the best
What a tight unit they were..Dennis was so cool..
Great performance. I love these guys.
Director: "okay they're gonna do a quick little guitar solo in the middle of the song, so we're gonna completely disregard that and get the drum beat that's been playing the whole song"
Beach boys nice sound
Hate him or love him, Mike Love had a great "teenager" voice...fit the music demographic to a T!
Carl was the glue.
Great performance and such a good sound, and as always fabulous writing.
Brings back wonderful childhood memories!
I don't know what's more beautiful, the Beach Boys song "Wendy" or Brian Wilson's talented daughter in Wilson Phillips...Wendy Wilson!!!
now THAT is the Beach Boys! #1 band ever! (David Marks was actually part of the original band)....at 75 now, I rocked to the BB's in the 60's, if you weren't there, you MISSED out.
There are few things cooler than watching a left-handed drummer playing a right-handed drum set. Dennis had to learn drumming on the job, and for that era - he was pretty damned cool. Coolness over chops was the win back then.
My friends and I went to the theater that afternoon to see if we could somehow get tickets to the performance. That didn't happen, but we did meet Mike Love on the street. He was headed out to get something to eat.
Mike already looks like he’s 40
This sounds better than the record. The guitar solo sounds better than the organ solo used on the record. The Beach Boys sound better live than the studio musicians . They harmonize so well.
That bass player 🥰
Got my Beach Boys fix for the day.
What a sound.
I replaced my Beach Boys vinyl with CDs. My father appropriated the all the CDs one CD at a time.
How nice to see and hear a live performance as opposed to a lip-sync.
Dick Clark should have had his ass kicked for going lip synch with Bandstand.
Banger. Great song. Also Mike love is Kevin loves uncle. Kevin love the basketball player
Of course September 27, 1964 fell on a Sunday--and the Ed Sullivan Show was seen on Channel 2 in New York at 8:00 p.m.! I still remember the channel and the time! I used to hear that song in Long Island!
A very easy song to relate to. Great vocals as always.
Nice little live version. "Denny's Drums" - cool track from the album.
I did not know that Dennis Wilson was that good of a drummer. He's very good.
