Tape
April 10 1956 (?)
Tape - April 10 1956 (?) (Thanks to Grzegorz Borzęcki)
 


Notes

It is unknown exactly when the reel-to-reel tape shown above is from but it contains a live recording of 'I Was The One', and has "Elvis Live In Lubbock, TX or Shreveport - 1955" written on the tape box. This cannot be correct as 'I Was The One' was only recorded in January 1956, and one possibility is that it contains a recording of this show from Lubbock in April 1956.

Thanks to Grzegorz Borzęcki for discovering the tape on Twitter.
