Listen "October 20th in Elvis History"
Episode Synopsis
It's October twentieth, and on this day in 1955... Elvis Presley performed two electrifying shows in Cleveland, Ohio, that would go down in rock and roll lore. At 1:30 p.m., he took the stage at Brooklyn High School Auditorium in a concert organized by DJ Bill Randle, with the performance filmed for a documentary titled *The Pied Piper of Cleveland*, which remains unreleased to this day. That evening, Elvis performed at St. Michael’s Hall, where his wild energy sent the crowd into a frenzy. He broke guitar strings mid-performance, smashed the instrument on the floor, and had to be escorted out by police as the crowd surged with excitement. That same day, Elvis’s parents, Gladys and Vernon Presley, signed over exclusive management rights to Colonel Tom Parker, setting the stage for the next chapter of Elvis’s meteoric rise.
