In 2013 , a second volume of BBC recordings , titled '' On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2 '' , was released . That December saw the release of another 59 Beatles recordings on iTunes . The set , titled '' The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963 '' , had the opportunity to gain a 70-year copyright extension conditional on the songs being published at least once before the end of 2013 . Apple Records released the recordings on 17 December to prevent them from going into the public domain and had them taken down from iTunes later that same day . Fan reactions to the release were mixed , with one blogger saying " the hardcore Beatles collectors who are trying to obtain everything will already have these . " On 26 January 2014 , McCartney and Starr performed together at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards , held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles . The following day , '' The Night That Changed America : A Grammy Salute to The Beatles '' television special was taped in the Los Angeles Convention Center 's West Hall . It aired on 9 February , the exact date of – and at the same time , and on the same network as – the original broadcast of the Beatles ' first US television appearance on '' The Ed Sullivan Show '' , 50 years earlier . The special included performances of Beatles songs by current artists as well as by McCartney and Starr , archival footage , and interviews with the two surviving ex-Beatles carried out by David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater
