February 9, 1964 –
The Beatles made their US live debut on CBS-TV’s The Ed Sullivan Show; they performed five songs including their current No.1 I Want To Hold Your Hand on this date.
Never before had so many viewers tuned-in to a live television program, which with 73 million viewers, was three-fourths of the total adult audience in the United States. The show had received over 50,000 requests for the 728 seats in the TV studio.
I wonder if late at night, they can still hear the ghost of those little girls screaming inside the Ed Sullivan Theatre.
