Elvis Presley: The Ed Sullivan Shows: The Performances is available on DVD. The collection of Elvis’ three unforgettable appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show attracted a record-breaking audience when they first aired and are available on DVD for the first time ever.
All I can say is that these are treasures of entertainment from the King of Rock and Roll. You're not going to find anything else like this at all on one DVD.
Elvis Presley literally shattered the nation in these three unforgettable episodes from The Ed Sullivan Show. You need to experience them yourself and see why Elvis became the legendary King of Rock and Roll! Appearing on the show Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis sent shock waves through a repressed nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV 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 above the waist during his final Sullivan show appearance on January 6, 1957.
