Wednesday, November 5, 2014 Today in Elvis Presley History 5. November 1955 Elvis performs in Shreveport, the Louisiana Hayride. 1956 Without notice Elvis make an appearance a Beginner Driving Range. 1957 Elvis sailed for Honolulu on the USS Matsonia. 1963 The filming on location of Kissin Cousins was completed. Elvis and the whole cast and crew returned to Los Angeles. 1971 Elvis performed at the Metropolitan Sports Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Imperials were no longer on this tour with Elvis. Maybe because of their schedules, maybe because of the Colonel, who was unwilling to pay more, but the Imperials soon learnt they were permanently replaced by the Stamps and J.D.Sumner. Also the opening act by a comic was now given to Jackie Kahane. This was the first time that Elvis would close the show with his arms flung wide and his cape spread out, just like he liked to do at the ends of songs like How Great Thou Art, The Impossible Dream and Bridge over Troubled Water.
