DVD Reviews of Ed Sullivan Presents the Beatles
DVD Review: Takes me back in time, to a more enjoyable era
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only did I enjoy the Beatles in a much younger form, but many other musical groups of the time, a must watch for us old timers.DVD Review: THIS Is Where It Started
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't bore you with the details of the historic significance of these shows...we all know about it. But I wiil say this:
If you were there, you need this, if only to see it again and re-live the magic. Both audio and video are near-perfect (for 1964 standards, that is!).
If you weren't and are wondering what all the fuss was/is about, watch these shows (particularly the first one) and notice the day-and-night juxtaposition of The Beatles and acts like Carmen MacCrae and the cast of "Oliver!". The passing of the torch is obvious; history - and show business - would never be the same again.
DVD Review: Nice walk down memory lane
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty much what you's expect. And it was fun watching the old commercials. The Beatles were of course, fun to watch.DVD Review: Good Beatles Reference, Good History Too
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this because the name Julia Meade, a frequent Ed Sullivan Show commercial spokesperson, was on the Amazon page for this. I've been researching her for a project, But it turns out she is not in this collection (I have heard she was on the show for the Rolling Stones performance).
That said, I am a big Beatles fan, and this DVD is really a great piece of history...not just for the details on them, but for seeing all of the other folk on these four shows...from Cab Calloway to acrobats. A great time capsule.
DVD Review: Top Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I was amazed at the quality of these CDs. They were identical
to seeing the original shows on TV: no loss of quality at all.
Description of Ed Sullivan Presents the Beatles
A great concept: The Beatles appeared four times on CBS' The Ed Sullivan Show, and while one is tempted to skip through this collection to watch only the Fab Four's 20 performances, there is historic value in seeing Sullivan's complete programs. With America reeling from the murder of a popular president, JFK, less than three months prior, the Beatles' Sullivan debut on February 9, 1964, ushered a renewing joy into the country's living rooms. The band kept it up another two weeks, sharing Sullivan's variety-show bills with the likes of impressionist Frank Gorshin, comedians Allen & Rossi, future Monkee Davy Jones (in a scene from Oliver!), and sundry unrepentant vaudevillians, magicians, and acrobats. Various problems with microphones and bad direction (one barely sees John Lennon on 2/9) couldn't stop the magic, and by the time the Beatles made a return trip in September 1965, the group's brilliance and wit outsized their television surroundings. --Tom KeoghGeneral DVDs
