Revisit the beginnings of the magical
mystery tour.  
The early years of Beatlemania are captured in this fine art photography exhibition from the archives of CBS Television and LIFE photographer, Bill Eppridge.  Eighty-four never-before-published images of The Beatles "backstage and behind the scenes," are showcased in the exhibition, The Beatles! Backstage and Behind the Scenes," magnifying a condensed 1964 timeframe as the Fab Four won new North American audiences and revolutionized rock music at an unprecedented pace.

The Beatles first visited America in February 1964, performing on the CBS Ed Sullivan Show and in Washington DC to promote their new song, I Want to Hold Your Hand. Their first full-fledged tour was a month long trek that took them to 20 US cities and three in Canada.

By 1964, The Beatles were already a phenomenon as musicians and songwriters. Add the visual element, made possible by television, and their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show became a cultural event shared by millions. The Fabs, who opened the show, sang All My Loving, Till There was You, She Loves You, I Saw Her Standing There and I Want to Hold Your Hand. In the few minutes of that first performance, The Beatles showed the world who would direct the future of pop music.

Taken around the Beatles first North
American appearance on the CBS Ed
Sullivan Show, the images of this exhibition
represent the best of photojournalism 1964. Inside the Plaza Hotel, on the tarmac, at the beach, in the studio, on the train, become witness to the rock-star phenomenon begun by The Beatles! Backstage and Behind the Scenes.
