I knew it was somewhere around this time in February of 1964 that the Beatles made their way into the U.S. and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. And that was where and when the British Invasion had taken our entire music industry by storm. I still remember watching those several reruns of the Ed Sullivan show a while back on one of my local antenna stations that were dating all the way back to this time in 1964 when they made their first several appearances where the crowds were tremendous, the sound of their performance was drowned out by that of all the screaming girls that invaded the majority of the audience of the show for those tapings, and made those episodes just several of the most significant, memorable, and highly rated episodes of Ed Sullivan. Security had to take extra steps and measures knowing the crowd that someone like the Beatles would attract for those specific tapings to say the least.
