Elvis : The Ed Sullivan Show - The Classic Performances DVD
Share the excitement of Elvis Presley's earth-shattering introduction to the nation in this collection of iconic performances from 'The Ed Sullivan Show', and experience for yourself why Elvis became the legendary King of Rock and Roll! Appearing on the show Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis sent shockwaves through a repressed nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking television audience of more than 60 million people. Presley returned on Oct. 28, 1956, continuing to provoke ecstatic screams with hits such as 'Don't Be Cruel', 'Love Me Tender' and 'Hound Dog'. In fact, these exhilarating performances were so explosive that Elvis was filmed from the waist up only during his final Sullivan show appearance.
One of the most popular entertainers of all time, Elvis Presley was a watershed figure in the history of rock and roll and remains one of the best-selling artists in music history. He has also been inducted into four music halls of fame and also appeared in numerous wildly successful motion pictures and TV specials.
Special features include: 'Remembering Ed and Elvis', 'Why Ed Didn't Host Elvis' First Appearance', 'Elvis and Ed: Intros and Promos', 'Caught on Celluloid: The First Moving Pictures of Elvis Presley', 'Special Elvis Moments', 'Jerry Schilling's Home Movies', and documents from the Graceland and Sullivan archives.

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.
