8ntruck 8,575 #4 Posted 16 hours ago Yup. My oldest sister was right in front of the TV about a foot away from the screen - shushing us all to be quiet during their performance. If I remember correctly, the Beatles appeared twice on that episode - something verrry unusual for Ed Sullivan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
