NOVEMBER 20, ON THIS DAY IN ELVIS HISTORY

Elvis performed at the Louisiana Hayride, Municipal Auditorium, Shreveport.
Elvis flew back to Memphis.
Back in Memphis Elvis and Nick Adams were spotted riding motorcycles. Late at night they attended a private showing of Love Me Tender at the Loew's State Theater. Apparently Gladys cried at the end of the film, when Elvis' character died.
Elvis gave a press conference at the Hawaiian Village Hotel to announce the satellite show once again. The date was set on the morning of January 14, 1973, with a concert dress rehearsal for a live audience the night before. Since the Las Vegas press conference it had been turned into a charity concert at the instigation of Honolulu advertiser columnist Eddie Sherman, who suggested that it should benefit the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. Elvis mad the first contribution with a $1,000 check.
Elvis attended a show at the Memphian.
Elvis was back in Palm Springs with Linda. Voice came over for Thanksgiving week as well. However there was not much for them to do.
Elvis met Ginger only one day ago, but they decided to go out on a date tonight. They started in the plane to see the skyline of Memphis, but they ended up in Vegas, after Ginger had called her mother for permission. They were chaperoned by Patsy and Gee Gee Gambill. They flew back the next day.

NOVEMBER 19, ON THIS DAY IN ELVIS HISTORY

Elvis performed at the Lake Cliff Club, Lake Cliff, Louisiana (outside Shreveport). Elvis name was spelled wrong: Pressley and the crowd was a bit disgruntled.
Elvis performed at the Louisiana Hayride, remote broadcasted from the Gladewater, Texas, high school. He sung: Baby, Let's Play House, That's All Right and Rock Around The Clock.
During the filming of Wild In The Country it became obvious Elvis had many mood swings. He even draw a gun on a group of guys in another car, who he felt insulted him.
The Alden sisters were introduced to Elvis by Georg Klein. Klein had brought the 3 of them to Graceland, and instead of what he thought, Elvis was not attracted to Terry, but to the youngest, Ginger. Ginger Alden was only 19 years old and the current Miss Mid-South Fair.

Elvis left for Las Vegas, where he met singer Kitty Dolan.
Elvis received a letter from the Colonel assuring him that despite the fact that Elvis was in the army, all was done to make sure his income would be higher then the year before.
Elvis flew back to Los Angeles where he arrived at 5.45 p.m. Around this time in LA he met Paul Frees. Frees showed Elvis his BNDD badge (Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs). Elvis, very fixated on badges, decided he wanted to get this badge himself.

CONCERT DATE: November 18 1972 (8:30 pm). Honolulu HA.
Presley Legend Alive and Very Well
Wayne Harada
Honolulu Advertiser
November 20, 1972

Elvis Presley remains one of the most electrifying show biz marvels - an incadescent musical force who's a legend in his own time.
And the 26,000 fans who took in his three sellouts at the H.I.C. Arena over the week-end will long remember Presley's mystique, the charisma and that indelible animal magnetism that combined to make him a Rig Leaguer nearly two decades ago.
THE HYSTERIA HAS subsided somewhat as the Presley legend has grown over the years. His hair now is fashionably coiffed - you and I can recall those controversial sideburns back in the 1950s. His repertoire has expanded. He's now 37.
But when he hits that stage, there's no denying. Elvis is a champ, the king of rock, a living American myth.
To the eerie strains of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" - more commonly known now as the "Theme From 2001 A Space Odyssey" - Presley emerges in a flashing powder-blue one piece body suit, sequined and lavishly clad in gear that reflects his show a real sparkler.
I took in his final performance Saturday night, and began his hour and five minute revue with "C.C. Rider," momentarily getting behind his ol' gittar.
Oh, you should've heard the screams. The screeches. The howls of delight. Why not Houn' Dog Man had come to town.
CERTAINLY, THIS DUDE has mellowed. He psychs out his audience, and one sweet little thing in the balcony kept squealing al evening, so even Presley found it humorous.
He's come such a long way, he even spouts himself. The body movements take on a choreographic stance, even that wicked mouth is twitched at precisely the right moment to complete the Presley [...]
Backed by a large (about 20 pieces) orchestra that's augmented by his usual six-piece rhythm section. Presley now is able to put on a better show, musically speaking. And like the guardian of Fort Knox, he is surrounded by gold - in the form of hits past, present and even possibly future. Quite a change from his Honolulu Stadium showing years ago.
These are the memory-makers: "Heartbreak Hotel," with a more sophisticated first verse that eventually leads to that proven twang. "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," which exhibits his incredibly fluid baritone; and you name it, he did it, from "Polk Salad Annie" to "Love Me," from "I Got A Woman" to "Blue Suede Shoes," from "All Shook Up" to "Little Sister," from "Teddy Bear" to "Burning Love," from "Love Me Tender" to How Great Thou Art."
"FEVER." A MOVING PIECE of Presley blues, is a particularly chic tune that enables the Pelvis to jerk and churn. This hip, then that one; this leg, then the other.
Too much!
Hawaii has been kind to Presley (and vice versa), so when he offered two Island-related ditties, the applause and cheers were notably warm. The tunes? "I'll Remember You," which Presley first introduced in his act at the Madison Square Garden (but unfortunately no included on that particular live season for RCA Victor Records) and "Can't Help Falling In Love With You," from the "Blue Hawaii" movie, filmed in the Islands.
Throughout the evening, Presley hurled souvenir scarves into the audience - which set off mini-shows of tug-of-war among the fans, mostly young girls. At one point, Presley even hurled his wide white belt.
In exchange, the singer received an occasional lei (thrown because of the height of the stage). He tossed these back and forth souvenirs.
COMIC Jackie Kahane turned out to be a pleasant opening surprise. His gags are witty, timely, and above all, clean. And unlike so many others, Kahane quits when he's ahead, never overstaying his welcome.
The Presley gigs were coordinated in Hawaii by RCA Record Tours.

NOVEMBER 17, ON THIS DAY IN ELVIS HISTORY

November 17, 1952
The Presleys received an eviction notice from the Memphis Housing Authority, ordering them to vacate because their income is too high for housing assistance. Elvis Presley and his family were evicted from the Memphis Housing Authority property called Lauderdale Courts. They were evicted for making too much money. They had moved into the apartment on September 20, 1949. 
November 17, 1954
Elvis performed at the Eagle's Nest, Memphis. An influential DJ showed up at the club and was so impressed by Elvis that he booked him for a show the next week.
November 17, 1955
Elvis performed at the Arkansas Municipal Auditorium, Texarkana, Arkansas at 7.00 and 9.15 p.m. Johnny Cash was present too and even very surprised to witness Elvis washing his car by hand to remove all the mud and rain after the long drive.
November 17, 1956
The single "Love Me Tender" hit #1 in the U.S. Elvis Presley's single "Blue Moon" hit #9 in the U.K. 
November 17, 1962
The single "Return To Sender" hit #2 in the U.S.
November 17, 1970
Elvis performed at the Coliseum, Denver, Colorado. While Elvis was in Denver he talked for quite some time with the off-duty policemen, who were assigned to protect him. He showed them his collection of police badges and he was disappointed when they could only come up with an honorary badge in exchange. He even made plans to come back to Denver to collect a real badge soon. He also invited the Denver policemen to come to see him the next time he would play Las Vegas.

CONCERT DATE: November 17 1970 (8:30 pm). Denver CO.
Elvis Fans Turn Out -- 11,500 strong.
by Thomas MacCluskey
Rocky Mountain News
November 18, 1970

The Coliseum was ceiling to ceiling with Elvis Presley fans -- 11,500 strong. Screaming strong! Continuous flashbulb firing strong.

After almost 15 years of national, even international, super popularity, the ever-young man wailed through a set of songs from classic rock and roll, through gospel, country and old and new pop.

Whatever they say ("they" being the pseudo-sophisticated critics who have forgotten the purpose of music), Elvis sings damned well. Technically, he has the ability to maneuver through all the songs he chooses with accurate enough intonation and as obviously swinging rhythmic drive.

In the expressivity department - where music really does its thing - Elvis has few peers.

SURE, HE has all the dramatic gimmicks of show biz built in; but it should be remembered that he set the standard (among white performers, anyhow) back in January and February 1956 when he made five successive appearances on nationwide TV on the Jackie Gleason Stage Show.

Yes, he derived the gestures, sound and singing style from blacks such as Arthur Crudup, Bob Diddley and others, but he put it all together with his already developed country style and created a worldwide musical revolution which hasn't stopped spinning yet.

The musical giant demonstrated to his Denver fans not only all of the talents that have sustained his popularity but also the on-stage natutalness and down home humility for which he's always been known.

He introduced each member of his band; his manager of 15 years, Col. Tom Parker; his conductor, Joe Guerico, and his father.

He thanked all of the personnel who are traveling with him from his Las Vegas show and he gave special praise to Denverite Joe Flores' 15-men orchestra, which accompanied the entire performance with well rehearsed, hard-driving playing.

LET ME TELL you the pelvis still works. And the longish coal black hair and sideburns that cover the ears still fly when the head bounces and body gyrates.

The arms dramatically conduct all the band's rhythmic punches and the legs swing into their wide-spread stance often.

The pure white, skin-tight jumpsuit with the high collar and long fringe and the sparkling green sash and neck scarf don't exactly epitomize "Heartbreak Hotel" or "Hound Dog," but they certainly dazzle the eyes.

And the Elvis face is as handsome as ever, gals.

The evenings's festivities got under way with a seven minute blasting performance (due to ears unyet accustomed to a tremendously powerful sound system) by The Imperials, a polished white, pop-gospel quartet.

Immediately, thereafter, four black is beautiful young gals charged on stage in a scarlet-orange flash to turn on the audience further with 15 minutes of fine soul singing and visual swinging. The group, the Sweet Inspirations is aptly named.

Comedian Sammy Shore rounded out the fast-paced show with a wide variety of humor, which was received enthusiastically by the huge audience.
