Detroit MI. Screaming Fans Tell Elvis They're Still His By A.L. McClain Detroit News September 12, 1970 Elvis Presley, head thrown back, feet wide apart, reaching out for adoration - hearing an old sound from more than 16,000 turned-on fans last night at Olympia. The frantic screams reached rafter of the old building and hung there - an umbrella of screams. It was a sound Elvis hasn't heard for a long time in the more sophisticated circles of movie-making and Las Vegas, and if you were close enough to the stage, you could see him breathing in the emotional impact he had on his audience. ELVIS NEEDED to know up close that in the last 13 years, those screaming youngsters who have closed in on age 30 or passed it haven't forgotten him. They haven't. He knows now. Along the way, he has picked up some new fans who are too young to remember the Elvis of old. At 35, Elvis is still youthful and trim, the jaw firm, hair jet black and long. He may shake his head more now than the hip bones connected to the thigh bones, but he still can throw a mean bump. The main difference in Elvis today from the young man who appeared at Olympia in March, 1957, is a mellowness. There is less arrogance in the man and more humor. During his fine performance last night, he smiled often and laughed at his own antics. But, even in all-white jump suit with white shoes and Indian belt, there is still a touch of the "grease" in Elvis. It's the way he moves about the stage with a touch of rebellion spirit that makes still ride off in a motorcycle any minute. THE PURISTS have never given Elvis singing voice due credit. He may be highly stylized and rough hews, but underneath there is a sound baritone, particularly in the ballads. Singing his early numbers, "Heartbreak Hotel," "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Johnny B. Good," reveals the impact that Elvis had on rock. His place in musical history is assured. And when he sang "You Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog," the lyrics may have laughable, but the beat is deadly serious. His version of the lamentable "How Time Slips Away" was tender and caressing. If there is a raw power in the man, there also is great sensitivity. An Evening with Elvis Presley will make a television viewer realize how much Tom Jones has copied Elvis' style and that the real product is so much better. Outside Olympia after the show, fans still talked with lingering excitement and some young girls cried while clutching their autographed pictures of the star. One young girl triumphant walked away with Elvis' red scarf. Some things just never change. Courtesy of Brian Petersen Elvis - Detroit   Recorded live at Olympia Stadium September 11, 1970.

January 03today in Elvis history

January 03 today in Elvis history

 

 

January 03, 1956 Elvis performed at the Von Theater, Booneville, Mississippi at 6.00 and 8.00 p.m. Elvis was advertised as "The Folk Music Fireball." January 03, 1964 Elvis went shopping for clothes at Lansky's. January 03, 1967 For a little while now horses were very popular with Elvis and the boys. They only rent out the Memphian for movies four times this month. Almost everything had to do with horseback riding these days. During the next 2 weeks Elvis would not only purchase his own favorite horse, which he renamed in Rising Sun, but he also bought a horse for his father. January 03, 1968 Elvis complained to RCA about the mastering of his new single Guitar Man. According to Elvis the sound was different than the sound he had achieved in the studio, where his voice was more integrated with the band. January 03, 1970 Elvis spent over $3,900 to remodel 2 rooms and a bathroom in the basement of Graceland to be used as an apartment for Charlie Hodge. January 03, 1974 Due to toothache Elvis went to the dentist. January 03, 1977 Elvis flew Ginger and her family to Harrison, Arkansas, to attend the funeral of Ginger's grandfather.

 

October 22, today in Elvis concert history

 

 

October 22, 1956

During the evening Elvis rehearsed at home with the band and the Jordanaires for his second performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

October 22, 1965

Elvis liked to watch flims at the Memphian. This night he watched Dr. Strangelove again. More favourites of him were: King Rat, A Patch Of Blue, The Pawnbroker, Cleopatra, Johnny Nobody, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, Thunderball and Dr. No.

October 22, 1968

Elvis began with the production for his new and final MGM movie called Chautauqua. The Colonel was afraid this title would give difficulties with the advertisements so it was changed into The Trouble With Girls (and how to get into it).
The rehearsals started at 11.00 a.m.

October 22, 1969

The four couples, Elvis and Priscilla, the Esposito's, the Gambills and the Schillings, who were planning to go to Europe together flew to Miami instead and then on to Nassau. They stayed at the Paradise Island Hotel. Unfortunately the weather was so bad the whole bunch returned home earlier than intended.

October 22, 1970

Elvis flew to Palm Springs for the weekend.

October 22, 1971

Elvis flew back to Palm Springs, where he remained for at least 4 days.

October 22, 1976

Champaign IL. Elvis Is an Oldie But Goodie by Martha Hirsch Champaign-Urbana Courier October 23, 1976 An Elvis Presley concert is a boon to flashcube manufacturers in America. The sellout crowd at the Assembly Hall Friday night might used thousands of flashes in an effort to capture each creaky twitch of aging idol of early rock and roll. Elvis, although he can't quite boogy with his thickening waist, nonetheless deserved the screaming adulation for his showmanship alone. Time may not have made him sexier, but it taught him how to sell it and how to make his buyers love it even at a scalper's price of $25 for $12.50 tickets. His band was dressed in red sequined leisure suits. He brought 10 backup vocalists and a flunky with a unique function - which will be revealed in a few paragraphs. And Elvis Presley audience included people from all walks of concertgoing. Some of them looked like leftovers from a Jefferson Starship show. Others probably would have been equally comfortable with Lawrence Welk. There were number of families with children, a few middle-aged ladies with Elvis' name sequined on their T-shirts and a good portion of well-suited gentlemen who looked like stereotyped bank officers. Naturally, there were pretty young girls there, too. They stood in front of the stage and absolutely died whenever Elvis decided to slay them. The band set up and turned up matter-of-factly during as intermission, which followed the warmup acts. Then an announcer came on and urged everyone to return to their seats "as quickly as possible so that Elvis can come on." Thousands scurried while those already seated laughed a little self-consciously at their eagerness. In darkness, the band began with the strains of Wagner's "Thus Spake Zarathustra," also known as the theme from the movie "2001." They squeezed out one phrase and -flash! - a colored spot illuminated some band member. It wasn't Elvis, yet. Another few bars and - flash - another colored spot on the stage. Still not Elvis, and Lord how the tension mounted. When the white spot hit the doorway and Elvis himself sauntered out the crowd went predictably crazy and millions of watts in flashcubes winked in rapid succession, lighting the hall to its concrete rafters. He was dressed in a tight, white shiny suit with a sequined design on his back and legs. His shirt was opened at the neck, but his chest was not hairy. (Don't you want every detail?) He wore a heavy belt with a massive buckle, which was designed, one suspects, to disguise his somewhat fleshy belly. Yes its' true: Elvis is not exactly trim. However, those who sat behind the stage can testify that Elvis' rear still holds altogether. With an acoustic guitar hanging from his neck as a prop, Elvis launched into his first numbers. He sang Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender and sounded like old times. Then the flunky swung into action. Elvis sang and inclined his head to this man in red, and the man draped a long white scarf around the king's neck. Then Elvis strolled to the edge of the stage and, mopping at a real or imagined drop of perspiration with the long, white scarf, he pulled it from his neck and dropped it into the hand of one of the girls at the edge of the stage. Then he inclined his head for another scarf and repeated the act - many times. The young women who were thus favored frequently did little dances of sheer transported delight at receiving Elvis' personally sweated-upon scarf. A couple times - are you ready for this - Elvis dipped to one knee and kissed a waiting young woman. And when that happened, a grandmotherly voice cried out in a fit of jealous desire: "Those young things can't appreciate you."
