Behind the Beatles

The Ed Sullivan Show, 1964.

Imagine the thrill for us going on the Ed Sullivan Show, especially when they told us it was the biggest show ever. I still remember one of the producer guys coming into our dressing room just before we went on and saying ‘It’s being watched by seventy million people you know’. It was like ‘Shhh. Don’t’ tell us that now. Tell us later’. But then when you look at the tape, we don’t look nervous.

-Paul McCartney

Though I've watched this footage many years later I still got excited like I watched it live. That's the magic of the Beatles.
