Huge fan.

Fav. song? "I'm Evil" from King Creole.

I had the opportunity to see him in Wichita Kansas in late December 1976.

My friend's grandma had a pair of tickets, and decided not to go so she offered them to us for free. They were good seats too!

Only thing was, we had just discoverd Kiss, and (being 16) did not want to waste our time seeing an old fogey like E.

He was dead 8 months later. I was pretty close to Memphis at the time (Huntsville, Abalama), and I still have the newspaper article.

I remember how I found out he died.....I walked into this strip club I would hang out at occasionally, but there was no music going on, no dancers dancing, everyone just sitting around staring at the TV. I asked the bartender what was going on, and he told me "Elvis is dead".

I have regretted not going to that show for years.

I had a chance to see Elvis and turned it down. What a fucking dumbass I was.

But I do not consider Elvis to be The King.

THAT crown belongs to Little Richard. Well, or you could say that tiara belongs to him too haha, but Little Richard was the motherfucking MAN back in the fifties. He ROCKED.

If you woulda put Little Richard and Elvis on the same stage, Little Richard woulda cleaned his motherfucking clock!

Just ask Little Richard!

ROFL

I just hope the CBS footage is on DVD too and offers as much bonus stuff.

The 2 DVD's total 4 hours and 20 minutes. Lots of special never before seen stuff. Haven't had time to watch yet, but I'll let you know how great it is.

Yeah, I wanna pick this up. I love ELVIS. If there's a lot of rare footage, I'll definitely pick this one up.
