What do you remember about The Beatles? My mum remembers Ed Sullivan show performance.?

Question

She says she was disappointed because they showed too much of the audience and not enough of The Beatles...and the audience screamed so hard you couldn't hear the band...LOL

Answer 1

I had never heard the Beatles before that night. I did not listen to the rock and roll stations and didn't really have any friends.

I was in the other room and the rest of the family was watching Ed Sullivan. I heard this music that just grabbed me and I came out to see what it was.

The whole family was making fun of the Beatles so I didn't say anything, but after that night, I would listen in secret to the radio as much as I could so that I could hear them.

I became a big fan and I saw them at Shea Stadium.
I recommend a movie called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". It is an early Spielberg movie and it really captures the feeling of those days.

Answer 2

yes i do it was a time when to have a black and white tv was
a nice thing , the beatles shook the world like No One ever has in
music not Elvis Never will forget I was a music lover before
but Ed Sullivan was a great innovater and the beatles are a legend that I was lucky to see evolve, no they showed the
Beatles "meet the Beatles" John was the leader and Paul had the women wet with excitement, What a great memory. No one
can come close to that show again

Answer 3

I did see the show too....and she is right, they did more panning on the audience so show the reaction....My parents were appauled by it all but I do remember that as they panned around to the band members, they did show captions of information about them....the only one I actually remember was about John...( Sorry Girls, he's married).
There were some famous shots of each one that later became photo's for the magazines....John with his head thrust forward and a great smile as he was enjoying what he was singing...George kind of shy to a point, concentrating terribly on what he was doing. Ringo waving his " Mop-Top" as he kept the beat going on the drums...and then Paul, very assured but simply supported the group...I knew then that he was going to go one to greatness....his performances today are still extremely theatrical...Excellent performers, all of them.
I do play guitar and have sheet music I bought back in the late 60's.. "Beatle's Complete"...many of their basic songs, many from the "White Album" and a lot of printed history and info.

Answer 4

I remember being frustrated for the same reason while watching that. I know the camera people were trying to make good TV by showing all the action, but I didn't want to see the girls, I wanted to see the Beatles!

I also remember my mom telling me she'd be very disappointed if she ever saw me behaving like that. Heh, she was never along while I went to concerts and did just that.

Answer 5

I remember The Beatles' on Ed Sullivan. It was all we talked about, excited about seeing them appear on TV, not once but Twice! They were unique: their sound, their hair, their dress, and writing their own music! Most music groups did not do this at this time. They were charming, and spoke with British accents, but when they sang, their accent disappeared. They changed the world for the better and what a gift they are to this day.

Answer 6

I keep in mind the Beatles, first practice, first music 'All My Lovin' '. additionally Sr. Winches, the sailors who have been pulled via the magnet, the guy who twirled each and all of the plates, each and all of the upward push up comedians. I additionally keep in mind the night the comedian shot himself interior the foot. Ed curiously needed him to diminish the act short via fact of time constraints, and the comedian did no longer choose to pass away the degree and replaced into rather impolite. the guy did make an apology to Ed yet he replaced into nevertheless exceedingly plenty ruined or a minimum of set lower back a procedures.

Answer 7

I remember the let it be album as being the end of the Beatles. It seemed like everything they did was an adventure in new sounds and directions and then, they went separate ways... It seemed as if our whole generation began to drift apart with that album. The summer of love had faded into things like the Altamont speedway. They were the greatest

Answer 8

I remember the Beatles came to Sydney at about the same time we moved there. Ringo had his tonsils taken out, and so was replaced for some gigs. I think a fan tried to steal the tonsils. Also a girl collapsed at one of the concerts and they showed footage of her listening to her radio as she was wheeled out on a stretcher. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
