That video makes me nauseous! I guess the person that uploaded it had to make it wavy in order to prevent copyright infringement. The original video is crystal clear and steady.
People remember this night like they remember the July 1969 moon landing, or the JFK assassination. Everyone remembers where they were and who they watched this show with.
It's the night that changed America, the night that changed music, the night that changed the world.
Speaking of nausea, George Harrison was sick as a dog during this performance. He had the flu when they arrived in New York, and was ordered to stay in bed at the hotel. Their biggest moment of their career almost didn't happen. Ed Sullivan said that if Harrison didn't go on stage, Sullivan himself would put on a Beatle wig and stand in for him. Harrison being very ill is the reason he isn't in the photos of the Beatles sightseeing around New York before the Sullivan appearance. To George's credit, no one could tell that during this performance he was close to passing out.
