I wish I WISH I could just go back to this time for a day to feel what it was like to go to music concerts and see Elvis. That's all. I don't think those times were better or anything especially not with segregation and racism. But I feel some experiences back then would be very very extraordinary and I just wish I could feel what it was like. Please God 🙏
I had seen the video the couple talking about making this rock historic moment. How Elvis could move then, having to pull up his pants too. Ha. This is rock history, the three that accompanied him too! What was to come! Elvis is forever loved, he himself, and his music. From A Nashville Girl (MUSIC CITY USA PROUD!)
In some parts of the video you will see a guy sitting wearing a cowboy hat. The guy in the cowboy hat led the country band that played there every weekend. That guy was a great guitar player and a Radio DJ at KIKK radio in Houston, before they change the call letters to Kikk. The guy in the hat was my dad. He came home talking about how the women went crazy over this very young, very polite kid. He said Elvis always said Yes sir or No sir.
@@LennyBruce212 Dad said they booked Elvis for only $300 for the weekend. A short time later Elvis was getting hot so Magnolia Gardens contacted Colonel Parker to get him back. Parker said great, but it would cost $3,000. That was too much, so MG said no. But Elvis was getting so hot that one month later they decided to say yes to the $3 000. When MG called back to book him again, they well told his fee had doubled to $6,000 in one month. They never got him back.
@@haroldharris9832 Interesting. That exponential escalation in the fee for booking Elvis reflects his unprecedented overnight ascension to superstardom.
It's filmed at Magnolia Gardens on August 7th 1955. At the time it was discovered it was the earliest known footage of Elvis, but there is earlier film since that has been found including some from April 1955 and May 1955. There is no footage of Elvis and Buddy Holly together. There is film of Elvis which includes Holly filmed at a later date but they never appear together on film at the same time. One of the songs that appears to be being sung is That's All Right and in another segment Blue Moon Of Kentucky. Another short clip could possibly be Good Rockin' Tonight.
!954.What a special year.I was born in January.Then 6 monthsor later there was a much lesser event when The King recorded Thats Alright Mam at Sun studios.In truth the world was never the same again.
To bad the married couple in 1955 didn't buy a sound movie camera, imagine if this footage had the actual audio it would've been awesome. Maybe the married couple couldn't afford a sound camera. I wonder how many of Elvis' early shows were filmed during the sun years. Didn't they know they were witnessing the birth of rock n roll.
Super ! Merci de nous faire partager ça !!! Trop cool ! C'est très drôle de le voir ainsi... Simplement, comme à une foire de village, on a l'impression que les fans sont très proches et peuvent l'approcher sans problèmes... Le rock system devraient toujours certain ainsi : accessible, cool, simple, fun et sans bling bling.... Juste en jean et chemise il est encore plus beau !
He's just a boy ! No fancy jacket or anything. Just his daily clothes. By the way, there were only three of them at this time : Elvis, Scotty and Bill. D.J.Fontana came later. When they went to the Grand Ol' Opry (Elvis' dream, since he considered himself country) the manager there told Phillips when he saw them : " I want the whole band, like on the record you sent me". But that was the whole band, just the three of them. The guy couldn't believe these three alone could make such a racket. Of course, he bombed at the Opry. Nobody knew what to make of this kid in a pink suit singing that "weird" music !
Started a new sound, music genre. Plus, this incredible looking man taught people that's it's okay to move with and feel FEEL the rythem of the music, WOW, would have lived to have that experience of Elvis emergence into the entertainment, music, dance, movie career. Truly never anyone close to Elvis talent. Elvis fans are still present and remembering this glorious man
The little 'quirk' of Elvis 'pulling up his pants' was with him throughout his whole career. Look at the ''Vegas and Concert years'', Elvis can be seen pulling up his belt often.
that irked TV hosts as they worried that beside his jumps and knees or hip+pelvis oscillations the female Public would be noticing too much of his bulge "dancing in his pants loose or worse"....and their mothers or older women calling to complain. Plenty more Karens back then
yes i was 75 in Feb. when i saw him in person,after the concert,my girl friend,her older sister, and i went back stage.they had cut a fue pictures of Elvis out,of magazines, and gave me one,that was out of a song book magazine,it was about the size of a small school pic.i was on outer edge of the girls,thinking,he is never going to take my little picture. and he looked at me and did. i was so happy. he was standing on his tip toes once in a while, like he was looking for some one special. he had a brown plade jacket on and brown slacks,you bet we all went crazy.
@@Pharoset She was at the Brownwood show. I never said this video was Brownwood jackass. This is Magnolia. Are you a dummy or just have crap for brains?
The funniest thing is that him gyrating his legs and hips actually started out as him nervously swinging his, leg to the music and not on purpose at all. It wasn’t until he figured out the girls were screaming because of it after a few gigs he kept it in the act.
It has since been concluded that this footage, shot August 7, 1955 by Lois and Jim Robertson in Magnolia Gardens Houston/Sheldon, Texas is NOT the "First Ever Color Shots" of Elvis, but it is nice and much more raw than the Lubbock footage which pre-dates it.
ruclips.net/video/D5sEAHRVUn4/видео.html Cotton Club Lubbock Texas April 29 1955 so if Magnolia Gdns was really Apr. 24th this would be after; but when was Magnolia Gdns really -- varying info -- April 24, August also December
Schilling comments that Elvis didn't know how to move yet,,, that's why he was pulling up his pants. True enough... Elvis was raw. But look at the video of "Shoppin' Around" in 1960's GI Blues. When the music breaks -- same move -- Elvis goes straight for the pants. He is smoother... but he's pulling at his pants at the peak too...
Boy, this has to be one of those Time-capsules meant to happen, like Elvis was meant to happen and CHANGE so much, because I can't believe this was forgotten somewhere, in that pristine condition and quality and exactly about this man and his bandidos about to become of Gold quality themselves. He was no even 19 yet and played like he had been doing it for a decade, however the venues were so small and people didnt appreciate them yet that much. They had no idea he was going to be the biggest thing that hit America in the XX century and set in motion a whole Transformation in all the lines of expression, and not anymore just for USA. Youth culture will dominate
What A Treasure !!! "The Legend Elvis" This footage was purchased from The Roberts Family and Elvis was hired by Jean BURROUGHS, a beer company owner. She paid $300 to split between DJ and another, after driving to TX from MS. The first day, the tickets were sold at a higher price and the few people there LOVED ELVIS so, they wanted him a second day and charged the fans $1.00 a carload. Of course, they were paid for second day, as well.
Does anyone have a guess as to what song they might be playing based on the time period, their hand position on the guitars and what may have been their setlist.
Charles Te Huia That’s alright mama and Blue moon of Kentucky. It was his first gig opening for Slim Whitman..personally I have no clue who Slim is but I thought you might want to know.

Doubtful. Elvis and his family (and their friends) lived in low income housing until he started making money as a singer, and simply wouldn't have had the money for a movie camera, film, processing, and a projector. A performance this early, in color no less, is an incredible find.
My father was the booker, promoter and emcee for this and the other early Houston shows. Pretty proud that he played a small part in his career.

Sound 8mm film did not exist then. You would have had to record sound and film separately, and then good luck synchronizing it.
There was no DJ Fontana at this time…just Elvis, Scotty and Bill.

I agree with the comment that this film was not shot in 1954, because Scotty is playing a Gibson L5. He bought the L5 in July 1954.
