Several mornings during the week that he was to appear on the Sullivan show, my daddy would be late for work, and take me and a friend of mine to the train station to see if Elvis was on the train. Of course, we would be late for school too, but important things like Elvis came first. He didn't come during the week, but on Saturday, he came through. We were waiting, and got our tickets and boarded the train. We had tickets to go as far as Johnson City, where my daddy was going to pick us up.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
