~ The Beatles had wowed US television audiences during their first three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, recorded in February 1964 during their first American visit. On 14 August 1965 they made a fourth and final appearance ~ ~ They were driven to CBS-TV Studio 50 in the morning of 14 August 1965, in a convoy of limousines. Rehearsals took place from 11am-2pm, as The Beatles were unhappy with the initial sound balance and continued to work until they were satisfied. A dress rehearsal took place from 2:30pm in front of a studio audience of 700, and the show itself was recorded from 8:30pm ~ ~ The Beatles performed six songs: I Feel Fine, Im Down, Act Naturally, Ticket To Ride, Yesterday and Help! ~ ~ There was a short break after Act Naturally, after which The Beatles returned to perform the remaining three songs with a different stage set. Ticket To Ride included a lengthy introduction during which the cameras panned to each of the group. Paul sang Yesterday with a pre-recorded string trio backing, after which John remarked Thank you Paul, that was just like him. John, meantime, forgot some of the lyrics to HELP! ~
