Exclusive from the Archives of the Elvis Presley Estate
by Robert Gordon
With exclusive access to the files of the Elvis Presley estate including the legendary archive of Colonel Tom Parker The King on the Road features a unique insiders view of Elvis live performances from his earliest gigs around the rural South, when almost single-handedly he was creating what became known as Rock n Roll, to his record-breaking spectaculars in Las Vegas.
As well as hundreds of never-before-published photographs, the remarkable collection of posters, news reports and even ticket stubs adds up to a blow-by-blow account of the entire performing career of the King of Rock N Roll. Memorabilia also includes backstage passes, concert sales merchandise, letters to venues and transport schedules. The text includes interviews with musicians and entourage, rare facsimiles of hand-written set lists, and the exclusive complete listing of every live date that Elvis Presley ever performed. The King on the Road is the definitive on-stage (and back stage) record of the most dynamic entertainer in the history of Rock n Roll. |
