Elvis Presley: The Ed Sullivan Shows: The Performances is available on DVD . The collection of Elvis’ three memorable appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show attracted a record-breaking audience when they first aired and are available for the first time ever.
Elvis Presley turned the world upside down when he was introduced to the nation in these three unforgettable episodes from The Ed Sullivan Show. I am awed watching this young man who is unbelievably wild and a treasure of talent that you need to experience for yourself . His sex appeal is so strong and yet so new, even now.
You will 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.
Post your name and Screenhead will pick the winner Wednesday, August 12, 2009.

I grew up loving Elvis because of my dad. He would love to own this so I have to throw my hat into the ring!!

Much like ShootingStarsMag mentioned, my father also listened to Elvis quite extensively when I was growing up.And it just so happens that my Fiance’s Grandmother is also quite fond of him, having dedicated a whole section of her Curio Cabinet to him and memorabilia.Assuming this is the right place to enter, Ild like to submit my name into the drawing.It would be great seeing my future grandmother-in-law’s face if I were to present here with this.

I’m still close to many of my childhood friends (in fact I’m married to one of them.) Anyway me and my young girlfriends (we were like 8 years old!) adored Elvis (we’d even get kicked out of movie threatres for screaming so loud during Elvis movies. (I admit, I did move on to going gaga over the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.)
But both Elvis and The Ed Sullivan Show bring back a flood of happy childhood memories!
