Five-Hour, Five-Night Special, Premiering July 31-August 4 at 10:00
p.m. (ET/PT) The Beatles' First Appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show'
Tops the List of All-Time Memorable Music Events On TV; Hosted By
'NYPD Blue' Star Rick Schroeder, Music-Filled Special Features

NEW YORK, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking a watershed event in
the lives of the first generation raised on rock & roll, the Beatles'
first appearance on ``The Ed Sullivan Show'' in 1964 has been chosen
as the greatest rock moment on TV.
The Fab Four's American TV debut tops the list of VH1's ``100
Greatest Rock & Roll Moments on TV,'' a music-filled special that
counts down the most memorable times when rock and the tube
combined to make entertainment history. Spanning five decades in
five hours over five nights, the ``100 Greatest Rock & Roll Moments
on TV'' premieres Monday, July 31, to Friday, August 4, from
10:00-11:00 p.m. (ET/PT) each night. ``NYPD Blue'' star Rick
Schroeder is host.
Second on the all-time ``100 Greatest Rock & Roll Moments on TV''
list is ``Elvis'' (the King's 1968 comeback special on NBC), followed
by the launch of MTV at #3, the premiere of ``Saturday Night Live'' at
#4 and the Emmy-winning ``Motown 25'' special at #5.
Following in the tradition of VH1's ``100 Greatest'' specials, ``100
Greatest Rock & Roll Moments on TV'' features archival clips and
vintage performances, and original interviews with the history-makers
themselves, celebrating the fusion of rock music and TV, and
examining its irreversible impact on American popular culture.
Chosen by VH1 with input from the editors of Entertainment Weekly
Magazine, the ``100 Greatest Rock & Roll Moments on TV'' spotlights
those instances that changed rock history: stunning live performances,
television firsts, the rise of music videos, and some of the medium's
strangest and most unpredictable events, including The Who's
explosive appearance on ``The Smothers Brothers Show,'' John and
Yoko co-hosting ``The Mike Douglas Show,'' censorship of Elvis, The
Doors and the Rolling Stones on ``The Ed Sullivan Show,'' the Beatles'
pioneering global TV special, and Elton John singing at Princess
Diana's funeral, plus:
-- James Brown recalls the day after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
assassination in April 1968, when his scheduled Boston concert was
aired live on TV so that "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business"
could help cool off a tense city about to erupt in riots. "At that
time, I was getting respect from everybody," says Brown. "And I was
able to send a message."
-- Micky Dolenz looks at the debut of "The Monkees" TV show in
September 1966 as a singular event of media synergy: "'The Monkees'
was the first time that TV, the radio and the record industries had
created this magical kind of thing... The kids really were connecting
with us as people, not as actors playing parts."
-- President Bill Clinton (who also made the list for being the first
president to actually play rock riffs, during his 1992 appearance on
"The Arsenio Hall Show") remembers an eye-opening rock moment
from his own youth: "When Elvis Presley went on 'The Ed Sullivan
Show,' they could only show him from the waist up... They thought he
was too lewd for the times."
-- Dick Clark explains why "American Bandstand" was a teen favorite
for decades after its 1952 debut: "'American Bandstand' was a window
on a world -- it was kids dancing, it was bands performing, fashions
changing, language changing... "
-- Ringo Starr notes that before the Beatles' first appearance on "The
Ed Sullivan Show" in February 1964 -- when history's largest-ever
television audience helped turn a musical craze into a cultural
moment: "It was our first time in America, so we didn't really
understand that Ed Sullivan was huge... Everybody knows where it
went from there."
``100 Greatest Rock & Roll Moments on TV'' airs as a five-hour,
five-night special debuting Monday, July 31, to Friday, August 4, from
10:00-11:00 p.m. (ET/PT) each night. (On Tuesday-Friday, each new
