First Professional Stage Show
July 1954 had been a busy month for Elvis. He’d taken several steps toward becoming the star we all know. He had met Sam Philips, recorded with his bandmates, and had his song played on the radio, all in a span of a couple weeks. Then on July 17, he had his first professional stage performance with Scotty Moore and Bill Black.
At the time, Scotty and Bill played in a country swing band called the Starlite Wranglers. They had a regular booking at the Bon Air Club, and Philips arranged for the trio, dubbed the Blue Moon Boys, to play during the Wranglers’ intermission.
Elvis was noticeably nervous. He wasn’t part of the usual act, and the tough country crowd was unsure about the young kid with greasy hair, sideburns, and ill-fitting clothes. Elvis was so nervous he had trouble catching his breath. He looked to his bandmates, who gave him big smiles, which eased his nerves. The trio then played the only two songs they had rehearsed together – “That’s All Right” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky.”
The reaction wasn’t what Elvis had hoped for. A few people danced, some bobbed their heads to the beat, and some even seemed to really like it. But Elvis was anticipating the riotous reactions that were soon to come, and felt he’d failed that night.
However, Elvis returned to the club a week later and was a little more relaxed. He joked and enjoyed himself on stage more, so the crowd seemed to enjoy him more as well. Later that night, as he walked among the crowd, they cheered, leading him to take the stage again.
