Elvis Presley - Ed Sullivan Shows (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those of who weren't born when Elvis struck America, here's the undiluted wonder. You get all three complete Ed Sullivan shows from his early days. You even get the ads for Mercury cars. Besides Elvis, you get to see the rest of Ed's cast of characters. Even that Senor guy who speaks to his hand. What's amazing is that there are so few ad breaks.
The only bummer is that this is each disc only has 1 show. This could have been a 2 DVD set.
A perfect gift for the Elvis lover. Or just someone who wants to watch Ed Sullivan in a non-highlights format.

Share the excitement of Elvis Presley's earth shattering introduction to the nation in these three unforgettable episodes from The Ed Sullivan Show, now on DVD for the first time ever, and experience for yourself 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.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ed Sullivan fans and American patriots will love this DVD/VHS compilation of Joel Grey singing Yankee Doodle Dandy and You're A Grand Old Flag from 1968 appearance. YOu can't forget Kate Smith singing God Bless America. For those Lincoln fans, historians, and school teachers, you will be pleased to hear Henry Fonda recite the Lincoln Address for Lincoln's birthday as well as Carl Sandburg, Lincoln Historian, and Charlton Heston who gives the second Lincoln Speech. Sandburg recites about Lincoln's humble beginnings in Illinois. The West Point Glee Club also sings America the Beautiful. Young Loretta Lynn sings God Bless America Again. The U.S. Army Fife and Drump sings "Off We Go" (Air Force), "Shores of TRipoli" (Marines), "Anchors Aweigh (Navy), and "The Army Goes ROlling Along" with Hee Haw's Roy Clark and others in the celebration. RObert Merrill sings America, The Beautiful; a patriotic medley by DAle Evans and Roy Rogers; The Gettysburg Address recited by Dame Judith Anderson, the U.S. Army Drill Team, The Star Spangled Banner by the Oberkerchin Choir, and God Bless America by Irving Berlin. I bought all of them at a local drug store for history teachers at my school and for my language arts class to study Lincoln.

In his own inimitable style, Ed Sullivan managed to amass a group of American icons to honor our country, people such as Carl Sandburg, appointed poet laureate of the United States by President John F. Kennedy. Ed also paid tribute to our military by presenting drill teams and glee clubs representing our military academies. During the Vietnam War Ed introduced Sgt. Barry Sadler singing his smash hit The Ballad of the Green Berets.
