Fab Four 50th

Here's a photo I took of the "marquis" of the Ed Sullivan Theater tonight (2/7/14) which is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles debut on American television. The commemoration included this shroud over the David Letterman sign that depicts the actual lineup on Feb. 7, 1964. How cool is that? It's coincidental that the Beatles' history-making performance was in Studio 50. Note how the advertisers also got billing. "Whitehall" is Whitehall Labs, makers of Anacin. Pillsbury is the familiar carb-o-rator of doom, pre-Poppin' Fresh. FYI: it was snowing briskly at the moment I took this.

Nice, mreiof. Too bad I was just a toddler back then. I might have been the youngest girl to see them perform there.

That's cool to see the actual line-up. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Well, I'd tell you how old I was when I saw them on the Sullivan show, but then you'd know how old I am now! (Egad!)

I wasn't born yet, but I'm a die-hard Beatles Fan.

I've liked their music since 1994...and oddly enough, it was their 30th anniversary then when I liked their music.
