Package: The cover is very attractive though there is no information at all inside.

Elvis: He is young and full of natural energy (read: yet not on drugs) and the audience is just crazy about him.

Highlights: Elvis' group wasn't very experienced at the time and Elvis was in no mood of experiencing contrary to what he would do in the 70-s. The song list is very predictable in the Little Rock concert (finally officially released in the Today, Tomorrow and Forever box set recently) while the Louisiana Hayride shows were only a promotion for his singles.

Review: There is no way to stop the Atomic Powered singer Elvis Presley, He shakes his legs which infuriates the older people and makes the younger ones go crazy. You have to listen to this CD to understand. The audience is really going wild and Elvis enjoys every second of it, teasing them and throwing jokes ("Well, who learned the lesson when she broke my leg? I was the one"). But you won't listen to this CD often anyway, because sound quality is rather poor and probably it will just gather dust on your shelf (like it does on mine).
