When 73 million Americans tuned into The Ed Sullivan Show at 8pm sharp on February 9, 1964 they had no idea that they were watching history in the making.

3. Change

They released a DVD containing the full episodes of the Sullivan show. If you want to get an idea of how much they changed everything, just watch them. Every other act is so boring, you wonder why people tuned in to the show on other nights.

4. I can still remember that night....

watching in a state of hyper excitement, and the parents saying..."there's something wrong with the boy"...

5. 2 guitars bass and drum

Is the basic recipe for a rock and roll band - I always liked when the Beatles played rock tunes.

I get that they changed how music was made and transformed studio processes yada yada yada.

But occasionally they'd just plug in and play - and guess what? They were great at it.

7. A 'fabulous' appreciation of the Beatles by Howard Goodhall.

Howard Goodhall is a senior Classical Composer. In this program he explains just how good and significant the Beatles really were - He compares them to Beethoven and Wagner.

It’s a entertaining program well worth a look.

ADDENDUM- Watching it again, it’s a bit clunky and school masterly - but ultimately Goodhall argues, with success, the Beatles were extraordinary -,they changed music forever.

8. She Said She Said. People use to say Ringo couldn't play?
