====Early Concerts====
Presley started touring in the 1950s and he caused controversy over his hip gyrations and music. The older generation thought his style was vulgar. As a result, Presley's performances on television were often shot from the waist up so it would not offend anyone.

He stopped touring while he was in Hollywood until 1968, when he released his '''68 Comeback'' on NBC.

He performed many of his previous hits, and had a gospel section of the performance.
