The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

These guys just might be the most consistent band of all time. This was live and it sounds almost the same as the studio version. Extremely gifted musicians.

[@jimmythefish]

Uh I think it is the studio version. They're playing over it.

[@ahappynigerian]

John’s vocals are live but every thing else is from the studio track

[@matthewobrien534]

Absolutely!!! It show that not only were they masterful songwriters (John in particular), but consummate musicians as well to be able to perform a perfect live rendition such as this!!! They were truly something else!!!

Sorry to break it to you, but only the vocals are live. The music is the album track being played over

Best American music ever made...Where J. Fogerty found all these ideas for songs is something that must have come from the heaven's. His spirit, enthusiasm, and relatability to his audience is unmatched. Truly the greatest American music ever written...along with the music of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. Fogerty was a mix of country, blues, rock, and swamp music....Amazing even to this day. Being a kid at Summer Camp seeing the counselors listen to this music throw a knock out punch on the Beatles that ended the era with CCR completely in charge.
