Really cool little find on the ‘WordPress’ network! It was posted earlier this year to commemorate the anniversary of Elvis’ 80th Birthday, and it’s an homage to his ‘Big D Jamboree’ appearance on September 3rd, 1955…

Today is Elvis Presley’s birthday — a perfect time to present a nostalgic look back at the early days of his fame, before he broke nationally and when it was still pretty easy to get a ticket to see him. Here are a few tidbits from his appearance on Sept. 3, 1955 at the legendary Big D Jamboree (held at the legendary Sportatorium). Happy Birthday, E!
