I also wondered why the Ed Sullivan footage was a lot poorer than the already available DVDs . Someone mentioned it was to do with the screen format - standard to widescreen or vice versa ? One thing is for sure , it's far grainier than it was...
Because the Ed Sullivan estate wants you to buy the Ed Sullivan DVD!
Or Ron Howard was too cheap to pay the royalties.

But like everything else on 8 days a week, it's not the complete ed sullivan shows, so I can't see that being a reason.

The film show's you a glimpse of the Ed Sullivan Shows, in the "not the best" picture quality. If you want to see the best, in better picture quality, buy the Ed Sullivan Shows on DVD or Blu-Ray.

I loved watching the Ron Howard Eight Days a Week in the theaters on 70 mm and I love love love the new Blu-Ray of 8 days a week with all the extras but was dismayed that unlike the movie, there is no Live Shea Concert included. To make matters worse I can't find it. Anyone have any ideas if the beautiful Ron Howard edition is for sale?

I wondered that too, as I was watching "Eight Days a Week." If you watch the Maysles brothers documentary "The Beatles First U. S. Tour" there's excellent good quality footage shown of each Ed Sullivan Show appearance, and fairly complete.

Hi Rick, There was a legal dispute by the promoter of the Shea Stadium concert, that could be why it wasn't released on DVD with the rest of the documentary - now that the dispute has been decided in the Beatles favor, it's possible the Shea Stadium concert will be re-issued sometime in the near distant future. (News about legal dispute is at
There's more of the concert on this video than was in Eight Days a Week... brief clip of the first part of "She's a Woman," for example. This is the original Shea Stadium film with opening acts, etc. -

And how the Band sounded good, especially hats off to Ringo, when they could not even hear each other play , is nothing short of miraculous.

I hope Ron Howard will help in bringing SHEA back to life!

I guess you don't know that there was a ton of overdubbing and corrections made to the soundtrack of the Shea film (done later at London's CTS Studio) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_at_Shea_Stadium

Hi Nancy! How are you? I am well aware of the overdubbing and corrections made to the audio soundtrack later at London's CTS Studio in January 1966. In my opinion, if SHEA should ever be released, they should use both the original audio recording from the internal line feed and the audio recording which contains all of the overdubbing and corrections. Then we can all listen to both versions and compare.
