THE BEATLES Ticket To Ride The Ed Sullivan Show September 12th 1965

[@Jupiter1423]

Ringos drumming really shines in this song

[@magneto7930]

For those few seconds that everything dropped and the spotlight was on George for that guitar solo, not only did he nail it, but that was a fast click of the tone switch back to the main riff. Perfection! 1:40

[@williamowsley9771]

John and Paul on the same mic. Absolute magic.

[@gretchennelson9965]

It is SO cute when they smile at each other!

[@twinsuns6629]

Even better when George, Paul and John sing in the same mic like “This Boy”.

[@domicdom2483]

Imagine early 1960's families at home watching this and parents or even kids would say, "WHAT IS THIS BANGING HARD ROCK STUFF?"

[@cynthiadaw131]

Lennon, McCartney...cant be beat!!!

[@Ephesians-xt4xc]

The beatles were magical. There may be no other group like them ever again. They blended so well together and had it all; talent, charm, confidence and always looked like they were having a good time. No wonder the girl was in awe of them.

[@sweetiepie1862]

So true. There was something so magical about the four of them together. Its a chemistry that can't be duplicated

[@jamessollazzo4860]

there was a magic!

[@chilitoday]

Still crazy good.

[@stratovani1178]

What a well oiled machine they were!

[@Vincentlpp08]

Weird to see Harrison alone on the right mic and John and Paul on the left.

[@huwgriffiths7271]

Great playing from Harrison.

[@tutosCasuales]

I’ve always though the “She’s got a ticket to ride” part John’s voice was double tracked. But now I see it’s Paul’s voice singing in unison 😱🤯😍 Their voices were made for each other. They’re so similar 👌🏼✨

[@lexdunn4160]

Paul is not singing in unison, he singing harmony. Sometimes an octave harmony, sometimes a fifth.

[@tutosCasuales]

@@lexdunn4160 you’re right; but specifically the “she’s got a ticket to ride, she’s got a ticket to ride” they are singing in unison

[@fathanahafizhmuslim7884]

Why do they say "she don't care"? it should be "she doesn't care".

[@tutosCasuales]

Just 2 but remember watching with my older brother and sisters !! Beautiful memories ❤️

Paul PLEASE PERFORM THIS LIVE!

[@michaelastorga2478]

John and Paul. Brothers forever

[@joymcclare112]

I feel so old. Watched this on black an white tv , never missed Ed Sullivan .

[@TheAerovons]

Me too! A few years later I was recording at Abbey Road and was blessed by meeting them at the studio! Nicest guys ever, zero attitude….

[@robbflynn4325]

Great performers. Again great performers.

[@richardphillips6392]

WOWWWWWW

[@zyxmyk]

steve jobs and wazniak got in a big argument about this song. "John was John cause he wrote Ticket to Ride!" That he did. But McCartney contributed: the signature guitar lick, the totally unique drumming which he taught to Ringo, and the thundering bass. go figure.

[@Itsthatguy24]

Some people can't accept Paul's true talent. He's so amazing

[@shredder9536]

DOWWWWWNN YEAH

[@zuider77]

They were fantastic. And the look John gives Paul at is 2:20 is inteeresting.

[@Bella-nt7ec]

you mean Paul sang My baby doesn't care?

[@zuider77]

@@Bella-nt7ec Yes, he gives Paul this funny look.

[@jk4675]

1:57 as well, John didn't sing that part too well, i think his voice was tired.

[@sarahventura5407]

This was in the doctor who episode “The Chase.” Where Vicki, Barbara, and Ian danced to this song.

[@paulcooper8818]

360p!!! , you're spoiling us

[@domicdom2483]

Notice at 1:58, that young woman in the audience is crying and crying. I bet something just happened in her life that was very similar to this song, like maby her heart was broken when she broke up with her boyfriend who gave her a ticket to ride away from him to go to that Sullivan Show alone.

[@Volare-1952]

Sadly the following week the Ed Sullivan Show would start broadcasting in full color!

[@michaelharrington75]

1:32 John and Paul really had fun together. John almost got cracked up

[@timothyhadley5699]

Why were The Beatles so great? 1, They could sing and play. Their music was far superior to what was popular before them. 2, They wrote most of their own songs, and their songs were great. That was relatively new in the 60s. and 3, They were attractive and had great personalities. There will never be another Beatles.

[@FuturoDeRedpillEhAlcoolismo]

Coisa mar linda

[@toronto55]

Like. No ego display b.s. which is all too common now. And the music has suffered as a consequence.

[@richiewalker0114]

I believe the story that the original title and what they are singing is 'Ticket To Rye'. Capitol Records messed it up when they thought it was Ticket To Ride. Watch they're vocals, they ain't saying 'Ride'.

[@Bella-nt7ec]

no, Paul's relatives lived in Ryde they went there so John apparetly liked the pun

[@GAIASBLUES]

Ring

[@wesleycook7687]

This performance used a backing track. It was recorded on the Saturday before. The 64 performance was live,and the band was about drowned out by the screams, so Ed made sure that they could be heard by the TV audience at home.

[@bravesoul5743]

Naahh theres no backing track here for sure

[@jmdocs]

Not a backing track. They prerecorded the entire song live in the studio, vocals included, ahead of time. They they lip-synched to this “live” track. Very common practice from the 50s through the 70s when shows didn’t want the canned feeling of an “American Bandstand” performance but also didn’t want to risk anything during a live performance if it could be avoided.

[@TheAerovons]

@@jmdocs It was recorded live on Saturday and shown on Sunday because Sunday they were playing Shea. No lip synching, as proven by Jagger sneaking in Lets spend the night together at least once after promising not to, and The Doors being banned from the show years later for similar reasons.

[@tonyginnetti5828]

This is a 100% "live" performance!

[@TrojansOwl1]

OMG the woman at 1:58 her eyes arent the only thing thats wet. jeezus. she's a really attractive lady and she's no teenager.

[@jamessollazzo4860]

LOL!

[@georged4578]

Prolly dead now

[@aaronbrown89]

😂 Right! She was just done! Absolutely finished. I always thought that the actress, Kate Walsh (Grey's Anatomy & Private Practice) , could portray this woman in a remake of this performance. 😊
