[nini]

1. Yep.. If I remember correctly you could barely hear them over the screaming

:-)

[MichiganVote]

2. You betcha' :)

[mth44sc]

3. I did n/t

[likesmountains 52]

4. I did...and my parents would not let me go see them live at Red Rocks because

the tickets were....$6! Oh my...1964

[underpants]

6. Speaking of money

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8501020

the answer is $2,400. Safe to say it was good for publicity though

[no name no slogan]

7. That was six months pay for a working person back then

Not too bad a deal for one appearance by a relatively unknown band at the time.

[conscious evolution]

5. Yes,but

I was only an infant at the time.
My parents told me years later that I saw it with them.
Frankly,I don't remember it myself.
However,the first song I can remember hearing was Hard Days Night and the first TV show I remember was the Beatles cartoon show.

[tigereye]

8. yes, but I don't think I really knew what I was seeing

we tended to watch Sullivan regularly. Wow I feel old looking at that picture!

[FarLeftRage]

9. Yes....

I was less than a month away from sixth b-day.
And still to this very day, I get an occasional "All My Loving" ear worm!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. I dunno if it was their first Sullivan appearance

But, yeah, I remember seein' 'em and thinkin', "What's all the fuss about?" :shrug:



My neighbor went to their final concert.

[Digit]

21. I saw it on Ed Sullivan

Yep, I ended up purchasing Beatle Boots, a Beatle Sweatshirt, Beatle Albums and John Lennon's book (which a friend swiped).

Good times, good times.....

[Kat45]

11. Yup. I was a little kid then.

I watched it and I loved the Beatles.

[txwhitedove]

12. Oh yes! My two BFF's got to sleep over so we could watch it together.

:hi:

[RushIsRot]

13. Hands up. I did! On a blurry black and white TV.

[Left Is Write]

14. That would have been extremely difficult for me, as I didn't make my appearance until 1966.

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. I sure did!

I was living in a private dorm in college, and our lounge was crammed full! I was lucky and had gotten one of the couch places...

It was amazing!

All these shrieking girls!

The Ed Sullivan Show...

I'll never forget it!

[elleng]

16. On Sullivan?

Sure, with college roommates.

We NOW sing, 'When I'm 64!!!'

[csziggy]

17. Yes, though I was not all that impressed

I thought their music was simplistic and could not stand all the screaming. It wasn't until the 70s that I began to like their music.

[emilyg]

18. Yes.

[DFW]

19. If that was on Ed Sullivan, I sure did

Makes me feel VERY ancient!

[Whoa_Nelly]

20. Sure did!

I was in a swoon over Paul!

[Drunken Girlfriend]

22. The Beatles

No,because I have only been alive for 30 yrs.lol

But I am a huge Beatles fan,and listen to a local station,
Q107,and this station has been doing a Beatles marathon for weeks now,
to celebrate their 45 yrs in music.

Here's a link to the online station,if anyone wants to check it out.

23. Yeah yeah yeah

I was 12 years old. I was glued to the tv set. A couple days later I went out & bought Meet the Beatles for $2.98 at G Fox & Co.
The next time they were on I got my father's Wollensack reel to reel & taped them. Boy, I wish I still had those tapes!

[RebelOne]

24. Yup, sure did on black and white TV.n/t

[dembotoz]

25. yea and i did not understand what the big deal was

I was like 10 at the time, and i had to sort of grow into them.

But

I do remember watching it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. oh. yeah

:bounce:

[TommyO]

27. I'll have to ask my mother later today

I was just a bun in the oven at the time.

[alsame]

28. Me! I was 5 years old. And I've loved them ever since. n/t

[1gobluedem]

29. I did

It was the night before my fourth birthday. My parents let us stay up to watch because they thought it would be historic. We were just excited that we got to stay up and had no idea what we were watching. When the Beatles ran onstage all the girls screamed so my sister and I did too; thinking that's what we were supposed to do.

[book lady]

30. I did...

Milwaukee Arena
September 4, 1964

It was groovy.
