ELVIS AS RECORDED LIVE ON STAGE 1956-57

*** Recorded May 6, 1956 - August 31, 1957 ***

After his huge success that spread from Southern US to the whole US in less than a year, it was natural that Elvis' carreer would move to the stage as well continue in studio.
His performances at different and well-known radio shows and concert tours all through 1954 and 1955 led to the inevitable conclusion that Elvis needed his own show.
He started to appear as a solo performer in 1955 and it grew larger, louder and wilder in little to no time. Unfortunately, there aren't many 1955 concerts available in audio - apart from a few from The Louisiana Hayride, already available in another of our videos -, so we can only wonder how it really was.

But May 1956 brought us his first Las Vegas engagement and the first of many complete concert recordings.
Still from May 1956, his full performance at the Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock, Arkansas, was a great insight into what an Elvis concert meant.
For sure none could beat the powerhouse that his first concert in Tupelo on September 26, 1956 was - both the afternoon and the evening show were fantastic and beautifully chaotic, with fans trying everything to reach Elvis.

Here we bring you a new edit with the full concerts cited above, plus some extras from Canada in 1957 and a few bonuses. We hope you like it. Enjoy!
