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!
