February 7, 1964 is when The Beatles took off on their first trip together to the United States.

The Beatles landed at Kennedy Airport (recently renamed from Idlewild) in New York, where they were greeted by 3,000 screaming fans. (Many had been given free t-shirts by Capitol Records, who wanted to guarantee a big turnout, and had spent $50,000 on a promotional campaign.)

They appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on the 9th (to a viewing audience of 73 million people), and played their first US concert on the 11th at the Washington Coliseum.
