Elvis performed at the Sam Houston Coliseum, Texas twice this day. First at 4.00 and later on 9.00 p.m. The crowd was warned to sit down by Oscar Davis, the Colonel’s advance man: “just remember, it might be your kid that gets trampled”.
The other acts were: Rex Marlowe, Howard & Wanda Bell, Phil Maraquin, Hubert Castle, The Jordanaires, Sherry Davis
The afternoon set list:
Blue Suede Shoes
Love Me Tender
Long Tall Sally
Dont Be Cruel
Hound Dog
The evening show:
Don’t Be Cruel
Love Me Tender
Hound Dog
Changing Moods – Rocking and rolling through a variety of moods as he sang to a full house of girls at the Coliseum Saturday, Elvis Presley exhibited, in turn, deep feeling, boyish charm and homespun sincerity. The thousands of grinning fans were completely under his control. Presley had only to bounce slightly on the balls of his feet to evoke shrill thunder and a churning sea of movement. But withal the crowd behaved itself
