The Beatles were featured on the Ed Sullivan Show four times - but in actuality they only performed in the studio twice to pre-record the broadcasts. Their first and third appearance on the show were filmed in February of 1964 (their second appearance was filmed at a hotel in Miami). In August of 1965 The Beatles were back in the studio to film their fourth and final live appearance on the show which aired that September. This cue sheet was signed on that August day in 1965. The Beatles were the top-billed act and performed six songs in two segments, including I Feel Fine, I'm Down, Act Naturally, Ticket To Ride, Yesterday, and Help! Also on the program that night were Cilla Black, Allen & Rossi, and Soupy Sales, whose rider calls for a "Beatles Wig." Any signed Beatles memorabilia from their iconic appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show is extremely rare and coveted by collectors. Provenance: These signatures were collected in person by a Television Lighting Director and Designer employed by the Ed Sullivan Show on the day of the recording and have descended in the family. C
