Elvis Presley and Colonel Tom Parker : New Years Eve, December 31, 1975
Elvis Presley and Colonel Tom Parker : New Years Eve, December 31, 1975.
This may very well be the last picture of Elvis and Colonel Parker together, taken on New Year's Eve 1975, 35 years ago, shortly before Elvis went on stage for his first new Years Eve concert since 1955.
This show would become the highest attended Elvis concert EVER! Grossing over $800,000
[In 1955, December 31st fell on a Saturday, and so that night Elvis worked his regular gig on the Louisiana Hayride, broadcast out of Shreveport, Louisiana.]
After the show Elvis flew back to Memphis with his entourage, which incuded Vernon, countrty singer T.G. Sheppard and his wife, Lisa Marie, and Linda Thompson to celebrate the new Year in his bedroom, watching tapes of old Monty Python shows. Elvis would make his third and final New Years Eve concert the following year.

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.
