Answers:
Yes I watched their performances each Sunday they appeared on Ed Sullivan in Feb/64!. They were there again in 1965 as well!.
Here's a personal story of my own!.!.!.
On August 17th 1965, the Beatles were scheduled to play one show at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens!. Harold Ballard (owner of the Gardens) sold tickets to two shows and told Beatles manager Brian Epstein the band would have to play twice!. Epstein was furious, but agreed!. The Beatles performed on one of the hottest days of summer, so Ballard ordered the start of each show delayed, the thermostats turned up, the water fountains turned off, and the concession stands to only sell large drinks (a fortune was made on drink sales!.)
Old Harold was a con man, and a thief! But thanks to him I got to see The Beatles twice in one day! Mind you, at the first show I was escorted by my Mom (how embarrassing)!.!.!.but for the second show my cool cousin was my escort!
I wish I could re-live that all over again!
My Father worked for CHUM radio in Toronto back then, and that day he attended The Beatles press conference held at the 'Hot Stove Lounge' in Maple Leaf Gardens!. I gave my Dad a copy of the Beatles VI album, and asked if he could have the band sign it for me!.!.!.I still have it to this day, though it's a little worn out!. I guess I should have taken better care of my records when I was 13!.!.!.but at that age who did!?

Of course I watched it live back then!
But they were actually on American TV before Ed Sullivan!
It was a tape of them at the Cavern Club that was shown on the Jack Paar Program on a Friday night, January 3rd 1964 which was more than a month before they appeared on Ed Sullivan!. He was making fun of them because of their clothes, hair and their music and everyone in the audience was laughing at them too!.
I couldn't believe everyone was laughing at them because I thought they were great and that was when I fell in love with The Beatles!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am not old enough to have watched the Ed Sullivan show live on television, but I've seen many re-runs of it!. It was really an exciting time--girls would pass out after getting a glimpse of those guys! Their music is, well, just genius! All of them went on to have separate careers in music, a sign of true talent!
I listen to many of their songs!. That song, He's a real no where man, sitting in a nowhere land!.!.!.!. think that's how it goes, and then the music just gets ya!.
Great Question! and the Ed Sullivan show can be compared to American Idol of today, but I think Ed Sullivan was way more classy, though I do enjoy idol very much too!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes, I've seen it every time the Beatles are mentioned on tv!. I've been a fan ever since they used to show them in cartoon form back in the 70s!.
