#OTD in 1964 - 60 years ago today - The Beatles' first live Ed Sullivan performance is aired. 73 million people were reported to have watched - a record at the time. "We were aware that Ed Sullivan was the big one because we got a telegram from Elvis and the Colonel. And I've heard that while the show was on there were no reported crimes, or very few. When The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, even the criminals had a rest for ten minutes." - George John Lennon Paul McCartney George Harrison Ringo St
