DVD Reviews of Elvis Presley: The Ed Sullivan Shows: The Performances
DVD Review: Pieces of Rock and Roll History!
Summary: 5 Stars
These appearances were legendary and solidified Elvis' hold on American popular culture. Ed Sullivan originally wanted nothing to do with Elvis, considering him to be too vulgar for TV audiences. However, all that changed when Steve Allen booked Elvis on his show and handily beat Sullivan in the ratings. Then Sullivan booked for three appearances, and the rest was history as the saying goes. This DVD includes all three of Elvis' appearances on Sullivan's show, which set records for ratings at the time. During his last appearance, Elvis was shot only from the waste up due to complaints about the suggestive nature of his dancing during the first two performances (my how things have changed). Elvis is at his creative peak for these performances and it is easy to see why he took the nation (and world) by storm in 1956. Performances like these firmly established him as the King of Rock and Roll. This DVD is a must for fans of Elvis and students of pop culture.
