Significant Performances in their careers:

The first performance by the Beatles that occurred in the United States was on "The Ed Sullivan Show," which was a Sunday evening TV variety show that occasionally hosted live musical performances. "I Want to Hold Your Hand," was performed by The Beatles live on the show in 1964: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jenWdylTtzs

The Beatles at Shea Stadium. Over 55,000 people watched this performance live in 1965. The video doesn't show their entire song, but the audience really showcases what was dubbed as "Beatlemania":

The last live performance of the Beatles was done in 1969 on the top of the Apple building, which was their studio at the time. Here is a recording of some of the performance:
