Nice find. The complete show doesn't usually stay up for long, people should take a look ASAP.

I just posted this elsewhere:


Looking now, the 5-05-1965 (Wed) broadcast seems like a desperate plea.

"Elvis! Why did you leave us? Please come back, we miss you!"

In this "Shindig!" program, a "Salute to Elvis' 10th Year in Show Business," the majority of the Presley songs performed were hit singles recorded between 1954 and 1961.

That was the guy they were looking for.

Here's a run-down of the entire night:

Thank you..I've never seen this efore..So I thought to share it.
It's a great show also.

Yes, it is. Thank you and Doc. What must Elvis had think about it if he saw the show? He was in Hollywood filming Frankie and Johnny, instead performing live.

I have almost no doubt Elvis watched the program, it aired on a Wednesday evening from 8:30pm - 9:30pm on ABC-TV. He was home at Perugia Way, and probably more than a bit curious about how he would be given tribute.

Interestingly, two members of the Shindogs, the program's house band, were James Burton (guitar) and Glen Hardin (electric piano).

Presley should have been there! One newspaper preview noted that Elvis was "conspicuously absent":





St. Petersburg Times - Wednesday, May 5, 1965



Maybe he was afraid they's ask him to sing his new single, "Do The Clam," which had peaked at #21 on the "Hot 100" about three weeks earlier.

If "they's" had "ask him", he may well have been delighted to perform the global chart-topper.

I did not seen this topic when it was published but yesterday, I found this video on youtube and so I wanted to share it. But FECC is already at the top, it has been already shared.

As said by Doc, James Burton was there, in this TV show, and also Glen D Hardin. In the beginning of the video, I think that we can see him from his back :

Here is also a link to find information about this "Shindig musical variety series" back in 1964 and 1966 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shindig!.

Merry Christmas to all of you, Gilles from France.
