The resulting performance on June 25, 1967, was a technological feat at the time, beamed out to more than 400 million people in 26 countries. With the feel-good song backed by an orchestra and a few of the band's good friends like Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger, you can see why it's also one of the Beatles' most iconic TV moments.
To remember this moment in history, here is a sampling of classic Beatles television moments we'll never forget.
