We all thought the show was over-blown but pretty well-done! Still, the hype machine is an amazing thing to behold. It is more than a little bit over-bearing, but must say the Beatles music somehow transcends the bullshit.
And Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are both class acts. They did what they had to do and they did it well. You got the sense that for them it was just another show in a long, long line of shows. And you realized they had no idea how big the Ed Sullivan appearance had been to so many people in America back in 1964.
That's what's still kind of amazing. The survivors are still pretty much dedicated to the music. Even all these many years later. Good job boys!
