Elvis' First Trip to Las Vegas was a Blast
A few weeks ago, when I was reviewing pictures in my files for the recurring feature Postscripts to Earlier Elvisblogs, there were several photos from Elvis’ first appearance in Las Vegas. That was his two-week engagement at the New Frontier Hotel’s Venus Showroom from April 23 to May 6, 1956. Continue reading
50th Anniversary Movie Pictorials: G.I. Blues – 1960
Elvis had 31 movies with acting parts, and only four were made in the 50s before he went in the army. That means there are 27 Elvis movies that will reach their 50th anniversaries in the next decade. I thought it would be fitting to celebrate these anniversaries as they come up. Continue reading
Random Thoughts on the Remastered Elvis On Tour
Like many other Elvis fans, I headed to my local multiplex theater Thursday night to take in the “One Night Event” showing of the new and improved Elvis On Tour. My ticket cost $13.50, but I got my money’s worth. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Continue reading

Elvis Talks about Opera, Rock & Roll, and Payola Fifty Years Ago
In May 1960, while he was in Los Angeles filming G.I. Blues, Elvis consented to an interview with New York Times reporter Murray Schumach. It had been two months since Elvis returned from the army, and a lot had changed in the two years he was gone. Continue reading
Loving You — Starring Scotty, DJ, and Bill (Plus Elvis, of Course)
I recently found something interesting on the website for a Rock and Roll memorabilia auction. It was a movie theater lobby card from Elvis’ 1957 film Loving You. Most Elvis movie cards and posters show pictures of him with one or more of his lovely female co-stars, but this one included Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana, his original guitarist and drummer. Continue reading
Viva Elvis — Sorting Out the On-Line Reviews
I Googled Viva Elvis to see what the entertainment critics had to say about the reworked Cirque du Soleil show. For two months, there had been many reviews panning the initial trial presentations of Viva Elvis. I was hoping the bugs had been worked out and the critical review would be positive.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ignores TCB Boys Again
The Rock & Fall Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2010 inductees today, and for some reason, they skipped the Sidemen category. This means that Jerry Scheff, Ronnie Tutt, Glen D. Hardin and John Wilkinson will have to wait at least another year to join TCB band leader James Burton in the Rockhall. Continue reading
