It was 45 years ago, today....

When the Beatles first came to America, arriving in New York, February, 1964.

Couldn't find anything on YouTube of Beatles' first appearance on Ed Sullivan. So, in it's place, here are The Rutles on ES:

There is a related thread in Abbey Road.

However, this one does have some nice Beatle footage, so it will stay.

Yay! Probably a bigger yay for those who lived through it, but hey! At least I get to watch Ed Sullivan on DVD now.
