In 1957, Elvis Aron Presley was still a one man phenomenon with six
titles on the charts, one movie to his credit, and two movies soon
to follow. But while he pursued his dream of becoming a Hollywood
actor, the military draft threatened to shatter it along with his
wildly successful rock 'n' roll career. Elvis couldn't resist the
excitement he found performing on stage before swarms of shrieking
teenage girls, and in that final year before he entered the U.S.
Army, he went back on the road for three short tours.
"Elvis '57" recalls that magical year when the King played to
audiences a quarter of a million people strong, and controversy and
pandemonium accompanied him wherever he went. Alan Hanson takes us
for a rollicking ride through eighteen major cities in the United
States and Canada as he chronicles the most exciting tours of
Elvis's career. In Chicago, Elvis wore his famed gold lame suit and
thirteen girls fainted in an effort to reach him. In Vancouver,
British Columbia, thousands left their seats and rushed the stage,
forcing him to abruptly end the show.
Drawing on first-hand accounts from the disc jockeys on the
front lines of Elvis's exploding career and fans who attended the
'57 concerts, Hanson sweeps you back to the year that forever
changed the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
