    I think it’s important to remember that the limitations of the existent equipment of 1956 simply wouldn’t capture the depth of the lived audible experience at the time. Elvis truly rocked the world. Those of us who weren’t there can’t really grasp it. Once upon a time in the mid to late 1990s, when I was not much older than Elvis was in this video, I worked with an older lady with whom I, for some reason, embarked upon a conversation about Elvis. She told me that when she was a young teenager she’d gone to a fair to the see the musical acts, as one did at the time in the South. She couldn’t remember who she’d actually intended to see that day because a handsome young man with a funny name had been the opening act. That was of course was a young, barely famous, Elvis Presley. She herself had never heard of him but from the moment he took the stage she was a fan. After Elvis, she said, it didn’t matter who else performed. It’s been a long time since that conversation and I forget some of the exact details, but she used one phrase that is burned on my memory. Seeing a young Elvis Presley perform live, she said, “It was like somebody spilled lightening on that stage”.

      My grandmother told me a story when I was little about the time Elvis came to Texarkana. She lived there at the time, still lives there too! Texarkana sits right on hwy 67, colloquially known as Rock ‘n’ Roll Highway. He was still doing “small” shows in local theaters. She didn’t really know much about him but her friend was really excited about it and invited her to go. She said the show was really exciting and that her friend even got to go back stage and “kiss” Elvis. Now that I’m a little older, I know what she meant lol 😂

A good hearted southern guy that never forgot where he came from. And because he grew he grew up poor he had deep compassion for others. The greatest part to Elvis is he was a devout Christian and never denied his love and Faith for God. A good southern gentleman that loved his mom ❤ love you Elvis and Lisa Marie!

    The thing that got me about his early, more rockabilly sound, days when live, was how hilarious he and the guys found it.
    And the way he found it so funny when the waves of screams ran through the girls when he'd do a wiggle.

IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA EVEN THE NATIVE INDIANS STILL KNOW WHO ELVIS PRESLEY WAS. HEARING THE TESTIMONIES OF SO MANY GREAT ARTISTS LIKE THE BEATLES, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, ETC.., THEY BECAME WHAT THEY ARE BECAUSE OF ELVIS. BACK THEN IN THE MID FIFTIES YOU HAD TO REALLY SWEAT TO BECOME SOMEBODY. TV WAS NOT AS MODERN AS THEY ARE NOW, HE HAD TO ROCK AND ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S. AND MADE HIS MUSIC MORE THAN A FAD, IT BECAME NOT ONLY AND AMERICAN TRADITION BUT A WORLDWIDE TRADITION. STILL THE MAGAZINE ROLLING STONES CONSIDER ELVIS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE BEST VOICES. HE IS THE ONLY ARTIST IN THE ROCK AND ROLL, COUNTRY, GOSPEL, R&B HALL OF FAME. HE BECAME THE POINT OF REFERENCE FOR ANY ARTIST. HOW COME AFTER SO MANY YEARS THEY STILL CALL HIM THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL OR THE KING OF LAS VEGAS? WITH ALL DUE RESPECT PEOPLE THAT TALK ABOUT ELVIS THAT WAY SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH.

      Women screamed, went wild, and feinted at performances by the violinist Niccolo Paganini in the early 1800s and at performances by the pianist Franz Liszt a few decades after Paganini.
      Liszt's fame was enormous. He packed concert halls across Europe and people, especially women, went wild. Many people wrote about it at the time criticizing both Liszt and his female admirers for behaving inappropriately. They even coined the term "Lisztmania" to describe the phenomenon. The same phrase would be used a century later to describe the same phenomenon with Beatlemania.

I appreciate many kinds of good music, I also know all the songs of Johnny Cash and June Carter (Great) and other great artists. However, Elvis remains the greatest musician and entertainer of all time, but in all his songs, all the power of his soul comes out. One could also say that he gave his whole heart to his listeners. This way is definitely unique and I think it will remain so. Denis Herger

      The movie is overrated, inaccurate, and didn’t really capture how revolutionary rock was And how rebellious Presley actually was in the 50s

    This is still the stuff I ❤ RUclips the best for.
    This original and historically important Elvis footage is incredible to be able to view. It truly shows what all the fuss was really about, right there at the start.
    I bet you every one of those screaming young ladies remembered this day the entirety of their lives. 🎙

    Ça m'aurait vraiment plu d'y être ! Vraiment magnifique, il avait tout pour lui : la voix, la beauté, une présence incroyable, un jeu de jambes inouï. Merci Elvis❤

    No one like him man! Nobody can ever be close to what this man did in the world of entertainment. You can't top the King.
