From 1948 to 1971, The Ed Sullivan Show was a staple of American television, with 1,068 episodes featuring over 10,000 performers. The show hosted some of the biggest stars in the world, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and more. While millions watched the performances on air each week, a lot of preparation happened behind the scenes. These photos offer a unique glimpse of what went on when the cameras weren't rolling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the photo above, The Beatles are seen rehearsing for The Ed Sullivan Show. This was for the band’s second consecutive appearance following their debut performance on February 9, 1964, which raked in a whopping 73 million viewers—the most-watched episode and television event at the time.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brian Epstein, had signed a three-appearance contract with the show, and while their debut was made from the show’s Studio 50 in New York, for the April 16, 1964, appearance, they played live from the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, where they were staying while on tour.

 

 

For their second performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Beatles delivered a live set that included the songs "She Loves You," "This Boy," and "All My Loving," among others. Their third appearance on the show, which aired on February 23, 1964, actually featured songs that were recorded during a taping on February 9, 1964, before their live debut. This pre-recorded segment included their renditions of "Twist and Shout," "Please Please Me," and "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
