    Movies The Beatles 1st appearance on the Ed Sullivan show

    I'm used to seeing it in bits and pieces, but I finally found a decent copy of it on YouTube that allows you to enjoy all, or almost all of the performance. Catch it before YouTube gets wise.

    This was broadcast a year before I was born...

    OK - I'll play along...Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bassist died 2 years prior. Original drummer Tommy Moore was replaced by Pete Best, who was then replaced by Ringo Starr (aka Richard Starkey). John Lennon accidentally replaced himself.

    You're right - they played it on August 15, 1965. They reportedly paid a fan who had a decent reel to reel machine hooked up to the main mix a pile of cash for his tapes, which George Martin cleaned up and released a little while back.

    The Stones did play there, but not until 1989.

    Watch after 27:30 - John goes mad on the Vox organ.

    Is it just me or does George bear an uncanny resemblance to Spock's dad.

    I watched that show! Mama knew who they were before I did and she made it a point to watch the show that night.
