Elvis only ever performed 2 times outside of the USA and I was lucky enough to see him.In the Spring of 1957 he was booked to play Montreal and Toronto.Elvis was controversial when he first came to fame....when he was on the Ed Sullivan Show the cameras only shot him from the waist up because of his hip swinging.....morals were different then,LOL! The Catholic Church kicked up such a fuss before Elvis' show in Montreal that it was cancelled and moved here to Ottawa.My mother won 4 tickets on a local radio station and I went with her and 2 of my cousins.I was 7 at the time so I don't remember much except that the screaming was very loud and Elvis had on a gold shiny jacket.He gave 2 shows and between concerts he had a cheese sandwich and a carton of milk!
