Ah yeah glad ya picked up Erik...Woulda ever thought that footage would turn up



ROCKMAN

It's really like watching a concert from a different, animated world. The dog sitting there on stage - a politician (?) giving Elvis a diploma in-between numbers - plus giving a speach, and Elvis stealing every single nervecell of the audience

Yeah ain't it a thing....

And a pretty good audio-sync considering all the evidence



ROCKMAN

Simple one of the best Elvis releases in many years
this tupelo dvd is,Love it

The Rockin' Machine - Tupelo Fairgrounds - 26 September 1956.........

And here is a little pic of one of my favorites of Elvis co stars
the great looking jocelyn lane from the movie Tickle me

just for a little change of pace

Even most of The Beatles only met Elvis on the arranged "party" in his house Mulholland Drive. George met him in the 70s after a Las Vegas show he attended (and I guess Ringo Starr saw him a second time too, according to the Anthology). But the Stones never saw Elvis in Vegas, so it just didn´t ever happen!

Ah, so that's the reason it's beeing e-bay'd,
well I came by it while searching for an Elvis record - thought it was so bizarre that some Elvis fans want to place bids on their own burial ground, - since it's connected to Elvis. But if it's a famous 'dead center' - then it's not that strange

Hey funny one for ya...Country artists Roy Acuff and
Jimmy Martin even built their own tomb/momuments while alive....
Even place flowers on their own graves.........Now that's EGO for ya
