"The Beatles: The Night That Changed America" was broadcast on ITV British television on the 2nd of May, 2014.
The programme was taped earlier that year and celebrated the 50th anniversary of one of the most memorable moments in music and television's joint history - the groundbreaking first appearance by the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.
This musical celebration of that evening saw Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, along with a host of huge musical names including Alicia Keys, Dave Grohl, Eurythmics, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Stevie Wonder performing Beatles classics, whilst various presenters and performers including Sean Penn, Johnny Depp and Eric Idle helped contextualise and highlight the musical and cultural impact of the group.
The programme also featured television host David Letterman interviewing Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr at the iconic Ed Sullivan Theatre, as well as interviews with people who worked on the 1964 show and were in the audience. (01:46:20)
