January 3, 1964
Contrary to popular belief, the Ed Sullivan Show was not the first time the band was seen on American TV. It was the third, but the first performing live. The Beatles were seen for the second time on US TV when a clip from the BBC’s ‘The Mersey Sound’ showing the group playing ‘She Loves You’ was shown on The Jack Paar Show. The first US airing showing The Beatles was on Nov 18, 1963, on the NBC news program “The Huntley-Brinkley Report” (albeit pre-recorded) of The Beatles in concert.
