CONCERT DATE: September 1, 1976 (8:30 pm) Jacksonville, FL. Coliseum. Presley's In town To Rock Sell-Out Crowd
Jacksonville Journal
September 1, 1976
King of rock 'n' roll Elvis Presley deplaned shortly after midnight at a Jacksonville airport in a cloud of secrecy, but he'll be performing in the Coliseum here at 8:30 tonight to a sell-out crowd. It was raining when Presley's four engine TBF (standing for Tend Business First) landed and he was the first to get off, being greeted by his manager, Col. Tom Parker. Only a few people apparently accompanied Presley on the trip although the aircraft reportedly has accommodations for about 20 persons. Parker has a plane of his own. He was expected to wing to Lakeland today in preparation for Presley performances in that area this week. This will be Presley's fourth time to sing this city. The last time the 41-year old singer-movie star was here was when he appeared in the Coliseum April 25, 1975. Deputy Director of Police Services Irving GRiffin, a friend of Parker's and who is head of police security here said there should be no problems during tonight's performance. "He has the finest audience in the world," said . "He draws from everybody." The former truck driver whose first record was "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and "That's All Right, Mama" on the Sun label, sing to 10,480 persons last night in Macon, GA. Coliseum bookkeeper Vicki Younis said that the only problem involved two or three fights between women over scarves he threw from the stage during his performance. No arrests were made. "Most of the girls were close enough to the stage to be handed the scarves," she said. There was a traffic problem, but show-goers behaved themselves. Tickets were sold out two days after they were offered in July. Griffin said Presley was wearing sun glasses and a blue sweat suit when he left the plane, got into a car and was whisked away to the Hilton Hotel. A small crowd of fans were waiting for the entertainer, but they did not see him. Officers said an elevator was blocked off for public use and the recording artist was able to go to his room without seeing them. Two floors reportedly have been reserved for Presley, performers, private guards and others. An accountant said as many as 75 persons associated with the entertainer may be with him. Griffin said Parker told him it cost an estimated $60,000 to $63,000 while Presley is on tour. Some of the money goes for living, expenses for Presley's party. A Hilton Hotel operator said Presley was not registered there, but a law officer said a door has been installed in the hallway where his room is located and guards are posted on both sides, as well as at the elevator, in order to keep fans from seeing him offstage. Among the more than 10,200 persons watching tonight's show will be William Stanley of Jacksonville Beach. His sons, David, 21, and Ricky, 22 work for the star. Stanley was formerly married to Presley's stepmother, Mrs. Vernon Presley, David Stanley and Ricky Stanley also are Mrs. Presley's sons and were visited by their father today. William Stanley had an opportunity to talk to Presley when he saw his sons. "We are friends and have been for years" said Stanley, adding that watching the performance will be part of celebrating his 55th birthday. Griffin described Presley "as one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in your life with a heart as big as the world. He said he did not know what Presley's plans for the day were because "Elvis is his own man."

That Elvis Presley balloon never popped
Presley, rock and roll superstar for 20 years and still the idol of millions, will appear at 8 o'clock tonight in a concert in the Coliseum. Security will be tight, fans won't be able to get near him and an entourage which reportedly will occupied an entire floor of the Hilton Hotel. Presley long has travelled in a style befitting the phenomena that he became virtually overnight. But it was literally a bumpy road in the beginning, one of second hand Cadillacs and one-night stands during which screaming fans could crowd the bandstands within touching distance Twenty years ago, this writer and a newspaper photographer traveled some 30 miles to catch one of Presley's earliest concerts. His name has just begun to flash across the country and within a matter of months was to become a household by word. Presley was playing another of those tiring one-nighters, this one in Lexington, NC, in an old red-brick armory typical then of small Southern towns. A national magazine had dispatched a writer, who kept shouting to this reporter over the ear-piercing screams of a surging mass of boby-soxers: This is unbelievable. Presley was so happy to get publicity in those days, the reporter was able to interview him throughout an intermission in his dressing room. Presley himself was so awed by the whole thing, he could hardly believe it. During one break, this newsman cornered one of the Presley group. a cousin attired uncomfortably in a ill-fitting dinner jacket, something he obviously was unaccustomed to wearing.
Said the Presley's cousin looking around in utter amazement: "This balloon is gonna burst".
Hip, Hip Hooray As Memories Stir
By Lloyd Brown
Jacksonville Journal
September 1, 1976
Memories of bygone days have been stirred by the appearance today of Elvis Presley, the king of rock'n'roll. One long-forgotten image surfaces immediately. It was one of our crowd who capitalized on a faint resemblance to Presley by standing in the local drive-in restaurant each night, looking sullen and dragging a comb through three pounds of hair saturated with axie grease. Often he would sling a guitar around his neck and strum the three or four chords that made up his repertoire, causing the little teenybops to quiver and squeal. We would gnash our teeth and scratch off in our Ford, occasionally stripping a few teeth off the old cluster gear as we rammed it into second gear. Mildewed Leather But we would not let our crew cut grow into as duck tail in order to compete. And, although our jealousy has subsided, we liker to think he is still out there in that drive-in, his black leather jacket mildewing with age, strumming away. Presley's appearance here 20 years ago also comes to mind. He was forced to temper his hula=hoop ( advice then unknown) movements into a rhythmic tremble Since then have been Beatles, Rolling Stones, Alice Coopers and David Bowies, not to mention topless, bottomless, frontless and backless dancers and singers. "Presley is so tame compared to what others do," Circuit Court Judge Marion Gooding said retrospectively this week. Gooding was The Law when Presley came here in 1956 after turning Daytona and Miami upside down. Little old ladies were quaking at the thought of what the sight of an undulating Elvis would do to the psyches of their little ponytailed darlings. They called Gooding, a juvenile court judge. Gooding met Presley in the office of the manager of the Florida Theather. "He was nice, and courteous. He wanted to know what was wrong with his act," Gooding recalls. "I said we had a report that he had gyrated his hips in a vulgar manner." Eyes Vertical Plumb Elvis promised not to gyrate. Gooding attended the first performance to make certain. Cops were poised in the wings, arrest warrants in hand, eyes fastened on the suspects center of gravity, ready to pounce if it should deviate from vertical plumb. "I never gave the nod," Gooding said Presley never worried about such things as censors, or television appearances in which he was filmed only from the waist up. He just kept on gyrating his way to the bank. He also gyrated into middle age in the meantime. If he doesn't swivel tonight it will be because of rheumatism not censorship
CONCERT DATE: September 1, 1976 (8:30 pm) Jacksonville, FL. Coliseum. Elvis Presley Lets 'Em Know He's Still The King

Elvis Presley lets 'em know right off why they call him King. Ten thousand-plus screaming subjects paid tribute to the King in a packed Coliseum Wednesday night. Before the concert, hawkers were selling color portraits, programs, buttons, pins, and what were being touted as "Elvis Super Souveniers" - anywhere from $1 to $5. Tight-fitting Elvis shirts were in abundance. Plainclothes police milled through the crowd outside the Coliseum, watching for scalpers, who could easily be spotted selling tickets at inflated prices. The pre-Intermission warm-up groups were good enough on their own, but they were completely overshadowed by the unseen presence of the King himself. From the moment the lights dimmed, at exactly 9:40 p.m., following the intermission, Presley was in command. No taping of the show or movies was permitted, but snapshots were allowed, and the interior of the Coliseum flashed like Chinese fireworks. Overly enthusiastic fans rushed the stage and had to be pushed back by policemen. PRESLEY QUICKLY demonstrated why he can still send his loyal fans into a frenzy. Fans surged toward the stage again and Presley removed a scarf he was wearing - handing it to a small boy with outstretched hands. Scores more rushed the stage, hands outstretched to receive one. Throughout the remainder of the concert, Presley continued to slip scarf after scarf from his neck, tossing them into the screaming crowd. ATTIRED IN a white silk shirt and light blue sequined vest and pants, a huge diamond ring flashing from his left hand as he slapped his guitar. Presley performed both his old favorites and many of newer songs. The audience included the middle aged, who first heard Presley twenty years ago, as well as the young, all of them rocking along with every sound. The 11-piece back-up band was a far cry from the early days when Presley toured the country with only a handful of guitars and a drummer. IN 1956, ELVIS brought country, hillbilly, rhythm and blues and put it all together to become rock and roll's first Superstar. Even age, however, has had no effect on his following. Presley, whose once trim physique is now slightly rounded, started towards the big time criss-crossing country in one-night stands in used cars. Early Wednesday morning, he flew into Jacksonville in his own private four-engine jet. From Jacksonville International Airport, he and his entourage of more than twenty, were whisked by motorcade to the Hilton Hotel, where they reportedly occupied two floors. |
