I peruse SHORPY pictures all the time, and found this one... totally arresting!
Veterans Memorial Auditorium, May 26, 1956, in Columbus, Ohio.
Can't you just hear him crooning???

Single guitar amp plopped on top of a folding chair.
Drum kit that could fit into his suitcase.
No lasers
No strobes
No stack of Fender amps.
Pure, so very pure.
I'm not much of an Elvis fan but this guy had more stage presence
than 3,000 American Idol finalists put together.
Amen! I wasn't a big Elvis fan, being born in 1959, I was a little behind the times.
But his music is classic, and I still enjoy it, even to this day.
Back then, they really knew how to rock, without all the extras!
