Live Music on the Television

Today's installment of "Live Music on Television" is perhaps the most well-known example of a live music performance creating a national phenomenon.  On February 9, 1964; Ed Sullivan would welcome The Beatles onto his stage, and the British Invasion officially began.  Though the Beatles' later work is considered better than their music in the group's infancy, there is no denying the electricity the group created with the audience.  Here's to the Beatles' first live performance on American television.
