Funny, you mention the Beatles and Ed Sullivan , one, I think the second broadcast ( there were 3 ) was live from Miami Beach.
Anyway, Dad was the Key Stage Grip for the Auditorium, and worked the show... tickets were impossible to get...
I recall, I was in about 8th. grade I guess, everyone , kids & teachers, everyone clamored me to get them some tickets...
Which was impossible....
I had several offers to kick my ass after school
If I did not come through... well, I avoided the fights, and also learn not to brag " My Dad was working the show "
No ! I did not get to see it live either ...I watch it on TV
