Today, on 20 August in Elvis History

Elvis performed at the Louisiana Hayride, municipal Auditorium, Shreveport.

Elvis reported to Fox for preproduction.

Despite the ovations on opening night, despite the reviews, all the new material was gone and the show was back to usual again.

At the last minute Elvis wanted to cancel his two evening shows, because he wasn't feeling well, but the Colonel insisted that Elvis should go on stage after all.
