Raise your hand if you watched this Ed Sullivan show Feb 9, 1964

Yes, we are old.  My wife and I watched this very show 60 years ago Feb 09, 1964).  We were both 8 at the time. Bill 

 

The Beatles made several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, including three in February 1964 that were among their first appearances in front of an American audience. Their first appearance, on February 9, was seen by over 73 million viewers and came to be regarded as a cultural watershed that launched American Beatlemania—as well as the wider British Invasion of American pop music[1]—and inspired many young viewers to become rock musicians.[2] The band also made another appearance during their 1965 U.S. tour

Yes, I did.  And I didn't understand why all the girls wouldn't calm the hell down so we could actually hear the band.

Because Alan May like other 14 year old girls, I couldn't stop screaming and jumping up and down.  It's what we did.

I never understood screaming and jumping up and down. Guess I must be strange.

Hello Bill - I knew what your post was about to reveal from the title, but I don't remember watching it.  I'm not saying I didn't, but I definitely didn't have control of the television in those days.  Maybe it was even past my bedtime.  📺

It was an English invasion that lasted for a lot of years.

Bill- when they came to Houston in 1965, one of our classmates got to see them. I remember we all sat around, eyes wide open, and listened to her as she told us every single detail about seeing them and the concert.

What a show that was, Bill, if you could even hear the music through the screams. Was an exciting time!

Yes I did and I was a little older than you.  I remember my parents watching it as well and just commenting on what had happened to our society.

OMG, Bill Salvatore - East Valley, ARE the Feature Fairies sleeping? Most people who had a TV were watching ... My cousin Suzie was screaming in my ear.

In the summer of '65 I went to Portland with a friend and we saw the Beetles in person. I was never a big fan, but she had tickets, so we went.

I was amazed that the front of the theater was filled with little kids - girls maybe 12 or 13 years old, and they were all screaming and jumping up and down. There was also a tight row of cops all across the front of the stage to keep those crazed teeny-boppers from attacking the performers.

Is it group mania that causes that? I have no idea why someone would scream if they like something. Or why anyone jumps up and down. I didn't understand it even when I was that age.

I unfortunately wasn’t alive to watch it but I have gone back and watch some old stuff that really has a twist to it. It really has its own art and aesthetic about it.. I really like it! :)

The foreign invasion that was bot on television and was a way for the Brits to get some of their tea revenue back.
