As someone who was lucky enough to see Elvis live, I can’t wait to see this. Tom Hanks looks great as Parker and Austin Butler looks great as Elvis.
Wow ! Whereabouts did you see him? How was it?
I saw him in Houston in 1974 and Willie Nelson was supporting him at a rodeo. I was 4 and I don’t remember too much. It was my first ever concert.
