ON this date in 1964 - The Searchers appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
They were the first British Invasion group to appear on the show after the Beatles.
It was the Searchers' U.S. debut.
Internationally renowned Roadies Bun Man and Mr. Purple oversaw the Searchers' set-up for the show.
The Boyz witnessed the intensity which would become the British Invasion in the mid-60s (Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who, Chad & Jeremy).

Bun Man just said, "Did you just write Chad & Jeremy?"
I said I did, and Bun Man just cracked up.
Mr. Purple came to my rescue "Bun, dude, give the OWDWSM (Older white dude w/ selective memory) some slack, he did remember at least 4 of those groups, how much do you think he can remember from the 60s?"
