  1. I dont think the world gives a trump diaper about the beatles coming to america 60yrs ago. ABC to sux

  2. I was one of those 73 million watching the airing of the Beatles that night. I will never forget it. I was only 5, but my sister was a huge Beatles fan, I watched it on a little black and white tv in her bedroom,. She used to drag me to the movie theatres to watch the movies they came out with. She had all the Beatle albums, and get ups. I use to walk around wearing her Beatle boots, and cap , haha .Good times, and good memories

  3. I love the BEATLES💕💕💕!

  4. David, you appear a tad bit constipated. Good luck lad.

  5. all the hype , the high expectations, just burned thru that week before the Feb 9 Ed Show and damn they delivered!

  6. I tried to find the complete video of either that entire Sullivan show or at least the two Beatles appearances on it and couldn't find it here. Has YT or whoever owns the rights blocked it and if so where can one find it, either for free or via some streaming service? It's pretty iconic and historical so it should really be available to anyone 60 years on.

  7. I was just a kid but I remember all of this. My parents even let me stay up on a Sunday night to see the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was amazing, never having seen hysteria over a song, but I’ll treasure the memories forever. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

  8. Sad to think I listened to the Beatles for 60 years, and John only lived 40 years.

  9. Is it true David Muir lacks genitalia? The way he oversensationalizes with such dramatic drama makes me want to punch him every time I see him.

  10. I can remember watching that night. I was turning 13. I’m turning 73 now & still listen to their music. Everybody watched Ed Sullivan back then. Thank you Beatles for all the great music & memories 🎶🥁🎸🎼

  11. I was nine watching the Ed Sullivan Show via black and white television. My parents watching too. When the music was finished there was a quiet uncomfortable calm in our living room. I could sense something brilliant had changed the musical status forever. And that impression was great and lasting…

  12. Long live Ringo-George-Paul-John's music!!

  13. there will never be another beatles.
    they are the most sensational band that ever lived.
    they are shakespeare, they are mozart, they are beethoven, all rolled into one.
    a miracle they all got together. a tragedy that 2 of the 4 are no longer with us. a blessing the other 2 still are.
    but the music will live on forever and forever. just as we are still influenced by Aesop and Homer storytelling 2000 years later, the beatles beautiful music and poetry will live forever and ever.

  14. Taking a picture back then was such a big deal, not everyone had cameras and when you took a picture, you would turn it in at the drug store after the film (remember that?) ran out. Then you would wait weeks for film to be developed. Imagine all the pictures if they had phone cams.

  15. WOW 60 years? I was 4. I loved the Beatles. Cool name. How did they select it?

  16. what an incredible time it must have been to be alive

  17. I saw this live on TV! And when they played on Ed Sullivan as well. Til this day still a bona fide Beatles fan. They were the best!

  18. Where did the time go ? Wow the Beatles are still a force

  19. Skip. "World marks…"? Seriously? Name TWO people.

  20. I remember it well. I was 13 at the time and feel fortunate that I experienced Beatlemania at the right age at the right time. And oh what a time it was.

  21. Reporter: Tell me, how did you find America? Beatle: Turned Left at Greenland.

  22. 60th Anniversary of The Beatles landing in New York.. How fast the time flies. It was in 1964 when The Beatles has arrived in NewYork, USA.
    The Beatles were one of the best music bands in the world, and they are one of my most favourite bands upto the present time!

    I am a man living in South Asia. I watched this video of ABC News channel and I am amazed to see and hear about the record breaking crowd of American fans who gathered to watch the fabulous Beatles arriving in NewYork and playing there! At that moment the British rock and roll band The Beatles were only four years through their musical journey.
    My best regards to M/s. late John Lennon, Paul McCartney, late George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
    Very good memories!
    Thank you for the video!

  23. Music wouldn't be where it is today. Without The Beatles influence and innovations. Greatest band ever.

  24. The Beatles are just amazing, wow 60 years ago. I was 7..remember that Ed Sullivan
    show , after that, started collecting Beatle cards, which came with bubble gum. Thanks guys,,,your music is timeless.✌️♥️🎶🎶🎶🎶🌟

  25. I’ve been celebrating the February 7th anniversary every year since 1964. That day was a game-changer. It turned me into the Anglophile I still am today.

  26. Eternally grateful I remember it all. There's never really been anything like them.

  27. British Invasion. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Black Sabbath.

  28. I thought the Beatles were great but they did not transform rock n roll . We had rock n roll in the US long before they showed up on American soil .

  29. So glad i was born in the era of The Beatles!❤🎉
