It's October fifteenth, and on this day in 1955... Elvis Presley performed two shows in Lubbock, Texas, sharing the bill with Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. At the 8:00 p.m. show at the Fair Park Coliseum, a young local act named Buddy & Bob—featuring none other than Buddy Holly—opened the show.

These appearances placed Elvis at the crossroads of emerging legends, just as rock and roll was beginning to reshape American music.
