[On February 7, 1994, The Late Show with David Letterman was partially concerned with whether or not The Beatles would be appearing on the show, since it was 30 years ago that day that the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, and the David Letterman show is now taped for CBS in the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York. The Beatles didn't show. However, this was Dave's Top Ten List that night... -dh]
