The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, February 1964

On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, we look back to a musical and cultural phenomenon that hit the United States back in 1964. Fifty years ago, The Beatles made their debut in America, appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show. Their arrival signaled the true beginning of the tumultuous 1960s. The Beatles were the vanguard of all the musical and cultural changes the following years would see. Joining Smitty and Mike to look back at that time period is John Fox, from Rez Radio, our affiliated station in Pala, California. John presents many informative facts of what went on behind the scenes, how their first records were distributed here, how they made it to the Sullivan Show, and what happened in the years that followed. Many interesting details and stories are shared that detail not only what was happening musically, but also what was changing in the pop culture arena. Our Retro-Commercials are two station IDs voiced by John Lennon at the time they first arrived in America. This program is the first part of this in-depth look back at that time period, and is concluded on Program 133. Join us for great musical memories on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!
