    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.

      "Bad to me" isn't really a beatles record there's an audio recording for it from the early beatles because they really were just a startup band, and also the Beatles appreciated their music from Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Etc. Chuck Berry liked their appreciation the only problem is just from the Publishers, and once years passed they started to write their own songs and get their inspirations from Legends, and also the Beatle's shows were agreed by the Songwriters to perform in the Beatlemania like Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry, Long tall sally by Little Richard, and they didn't perform any Billy J Kramer's song in the Beatlemania so I don't know what you're talking about in the fakeness.@@mr.blackhawk142

      Actually, on the recording the solo and fills were played on a piano (played by George Martin) recorded half speed and played back double speed doubled along with a guitar.
      Martin also did this on other BJK recordings as well as on Beatle recordings like “A hard days night”
      with Harrison on guitar. He did something similar on “In my life” where he played 2 piano tracks recorded half speed and played back
      normal speed.. so it’s an octave higher and double the speed that he actually played. That sounds even more like a harpsichord.

    The sound mixer guy should go back to school. This was the most life less production I've ever heard. Poor Mick Green on the white Telecaster to the left is "castrated" . But - he sure took a Sound revenge with his Pirates!
