Fantastis Elvis! Wow!

[somagui]

Não é em Tupelo em 1958?

Então, alguma informação está errada.

[MemphisCharm]

I wonder if he ever tripped and fell on stage while doing those sweet dance moves.

[EenterE]

Awesome ! Those early years he had the leg moves.

As a female Elvis impersonator from Vegas, Elvis'a, that loves Elvis, I saw him on March 28, 1957. He had just failed miserably in Las Vegas just prior to this, but had met Liberace who told him to dress up. So Elvis had the Gold Lame suit designed for him: $2,500.00, a lot of money then.

When I saw him when just a little girl, he was like a Golden Knight, from head to toe, including socks & shoes. He then felt it "too much" and used just the jacket, until Aloha Concert/White Jumpsuit!

hank is on lead guitar

[MrsPresleyLennonFrey]

It's such a pity that no sound exists for this footage. Elvis' moves here are simply extraordinary. He takes my breath away!

[bellgardens53]

At 2:33, real cool move.

[flags6262]

Where is the friggin sound?

HELLO IS THIS THING ON HELLO

[lingopresley]

THE HAPPENING.

[degsy111]

it IS tupelo, 2nd visit, not sure if hank garland was there though

[1985MANAmericana]

@degsy111 I do believe Hank Garland was at this show. Elvis said Hank's attack on the drop-'D' of "Don't Be Cruel" just wasn't the same as Scotty's.

thats tupelo i gotta poster of this in Memphis with those girls on the front row

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

This is not Chicago. It is Tupelo Mississippi in 1957.

[bellgardens53]

Great and baaad stuff!

[xanjohn]

The footage is from a newsreel. It is NOT from Chicago -- the film was made on Friday, September 27, 1957 in Tupelo, MS. It was a benefit show. It was also the only 1950s Elvis gig without Scotty Moore (guitar) and Bill Black (bass).

[markelbers]

you could be right

the only thing i know for sure that it is a recording from1957

but elvis did a few gigs more without scotty and bill i know that from a very relyable source

[xanjohn]

No, I am 100% correct. And this is also true regarding Scotty and Bill -- they only missed this one show in Tupelo on 9-27-57 during their time together, from the first professional gig of the fifties (7-30-54, Memphis) to their last (11-11-57, Honolulu).

[birdbath7]

I agree-this film is "not" from International Ampitheatre/Chicago. I was there, with my older sister. Elvis had failed miserably in Las Vegas, but met with Liberace who gave him a designer to give him brighter clothes..Hence the complete Gold Lame suit. Since I was only 10 I was praying the rosary for him-(I wanted to become a cloistered nun &it turns out that 25 years later Elvis wanted to leave Hollywood&VEgas to become a cloistered monk.)Neither of us did.I'm now a female Elvis impersonator.

[str8metal]

who is playing the guitar on this

[xanjohn]

That is the great Hank Garland. He would join Elvis again in the studio in June 1958, many sessions in 1960-61, and another concert in Hawaii on March 25, 1961.

The Best Entertainer of All Time Forever Missed Never Forgotton And ForVER LOVED!! #! Love Kelly B. 4- Elvis Always!

[MAGICO240]

Elvis was the first in the world to generate hysteria. ROck music as a whole concept began with him!

[christlikeman]

did ya see Galdys and Vernon?? She wasn't happy at all about him making the girls go nuts and sliding all over the stage.

[kc8t80]

This is Tupelo 57

[markelbers]

you could be right

the only thing i know for sure that it is a recording from1957

[actor123456789]

When they filmed this in 57 they had no sound. But Elvis is amazing!
