Elvis only performed 3 times outside of the U.S.In Toronto,Vancouver and here in Ottawa.He was supposed to perform in Montreal but the Catholic Church kicked up such a big fuss that the concert moved 120 East to here.The Church threatened ex communication to anyone who attended! My mother wasn't worried about that and she bought 4 tickets.She took me and my cousins Tommy and Elizabeth.The concert was at the Auditorium,an old hockey rink.All I remember was how loud the screaming was and Elvis' gold jacket! My mother told me that I covered my ears for most of the show.Apparently Elvis had a cheese sandwich and a carton of milk after the show.1957.
