I like it, boy.
I heard a lot of Vegas.
What made you decide to come to Texas?
Well, to tell you the truth, I started [Bm] out here in Texas.
I think the first shows that I worked was down here, around Houston.
Remember what locations you worked here in Texas?
Well, I worked Houston, I worked Corpus [B] Christi.
I have a little town here, Longview.
You name it, I've been there.
I've been all over Texas.
What do you think of Texas?
I like it.
I like it.
I really enjoy it.
[B]
Well, they asked me to do it, and I was anxious to do some live appearances.
It had been a long time since I'd been on stage in front of anybody live.
And I was anxious to do some live appearances,
and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get in front of the people.
Have you ever seen the inside of the Dome of the Foot?
Never have.
It scares me.
It's a big place, man.
You've been known in the past as the king of rock and roll.
Do you think your style has [Bm] changed now from the days of Lord King,
or do you consider that still your style?
Well, I think the overall thing has improved.
The overall sound has improved, I mean.
But I think it's according to the songs.
[F#] It's just according to the songs.
Is your [B] stage presentation still the same way it was?
Well, I just do whatever I feel on stage.
I always did that.
Are you going to do another film?
[Bm] I hope to.
Well, I'd like to make better films.
Well, better than the ones I made before.
[B] Excuse me.
I can't take this fresh air, man.
I'm used to the back of the garbage can at the International Hotel, man.
If I can't smell some garbage, I don't feel at home, man.
I'll tell you.
Do you have any films in the making right now or any plans?
No, there's nothing as far as I know of.
Is there, Colonel?
Anything in the workings?
I can't commit to myself.
An 8mm Walt Disney special we're doing next year, I think.
I don't know.
We're shooting something now.
There's nothing as far as I know.
When you look at your opportunities, [Bm] is it good?
Well, it'll be the type of stuff that I do.
It's a mixture of things.
It's a little rock and a little country-western.
Is it the same show you do at the International Hotel?
Yeah, it's the same type of thing.
A lot of different type of songs.
So I just hope I can put on a good show.
What happened to the Jordan Air?
I can't get them out of Nashville, man.
They got stuck in Nashville.
They make so much money and they do so well in Nashville, you can't get them out of there.
Do you have any thoughts about the rising interest in them?
I think it's fantastic.
You see, country music was always a part of the influence on my type of music anyway.
It's a combination of country music and gospel and rhythm and blues all combined.
It's what it really was.
As a child, I was influenced by all of that.
[B] Do you consider yourself basically a country music fan?
I would hate to say strictly country because of the fact that I liked all different types of music when I was a child.
Of course, the Grand Ole Opry was the first thing I ever heard, probably.
But I liked blues and I liked the gospel music, gospel quartets and all that.
Do you ever pull out any of those old records from the Sun label and listen to them at all?
They sound funny.
They got a lot of echo on them, man, I'll tell you.
But that's what I mean.
I think the overall sound has improved today.
In other words, you were available to the public only in films for a long period of time.
Well, I think the most important thing is the inspiration that I got from a live audience.
I was missing that.
Was it rock and roll?
Was it [Bm] film?
It was always tough, but I enjoyed it.
I know I'm going to enjoy it here because it's live audience and it makes a world of difference.
He's ringing somewhere.
Ask him.
Daddy, what are you up to?
Skip the gunner, will you?
Mr.
Presley?
[B] Elvis' Eminence of Church.
I want you to meet Mr.
Elvis' father, Mr.
Gunner Presley.
Could you come right in and sit down?
Don't sign nothing unless I tell you to.
I came right in.
It's just fresh air, man.
Elvis, there's quite an evidence of sartorial splendor.
Does this indicate that the What?
The attire is not one that we are familiar with seeing.
It was taken from a karate suit.
Just a regular karate type outfit.
Are they coming to get me?
Is that it?
Does this indicate that with your type of dress and everything now that you're changing a little bit?
I don't know.
I think that you'd have to see the show.
It's difficult to tell.
[Bm] I don't feel any different.
[B] I don't think the dress has much to do with it.
I got the idea from a karate suit because I studied karate for a long time.
I had them make up a couple of suits.
[F#] What do you do for relaxation?
[B] Karate.
If you can relax doing this, I don't know.
No, I read a lot and [Bm] go horseback riding and stuff like that.
Are you still in Prince William?
Memphis.
About half the time.
Half the time in L [B].A.
In the show you have planned for the domes, are you planning any old, old songs?
Some of the first ones?
I'd like to.
Any special ones?
I've tried a couple of them.
I hope they work.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Good to see you again.
Let me pin this on you.
This is your official badge.
We didn't want to put your name on it.
People didn't know who you were.
We were afraid they'd be trying to take it off as a souvenir.
We want to pin that on you.
Mr.
President, it's a real pleasure to have you down here with us.
[G#] Thank you.
We're going to set all kinds of records down here.
I hope so.
I hope I can give them a good show.
That's the most important thing. You will.
No question about that.
I can give them a good show.
I feel like I've done something.
What's the biggest live crowd you've ever performed for?
If I'm not mistaken, it was in Vancouver, Canada, wasn't it, Colonel?
Cotton Bowl.
The Cotton Bowl in [B] Dallas.
It was about 25,000 or something like that.
Is Mr.
Gracie here? I think.
There he is.
This is one of the men that started our livestock show.
One of the great ones.
Gentlemen, this is Mr.
Chris Karamanis, who was kind enough to let us down here.
This is Mr.
President's son.
I [E] think he deserves some [Bm] recognition.
[B] I think so, if it's the right type of song.
I think so, if it's the right type of material.
You've made a couple of songs.
Yes, I have.
I did, like, In the Ghetto.
I don't know.
I wouldn't like to do all that type of stuff.
In other words, I wouldn't like for everything to be a message,
because I think that there's still entertainment to be
I heard a lot of Vegas.
