“Memories of Elvis” Wows the Crowd<br />
By Michael Kircher<br />
Publisher<br />
Elvis was sighted in old town Fenton on the evening<br />
of Saturday, August 22nd. Well, maybe it wasn’t the<br />
real Elvis, but for a real Elvis fan, you could imagine it<br />
was him. This was a unique Elvis experience.<br />
According to Steve Davis, there’s a difference<br />
between a performance and an experience. For over 33<br />
years, artist Steve Davis has been wowing the crowds<br />
with his “Memories of Elvis.” Steve says there is a difference<br />
between an impersonation and a recreation.<br />
Anyone that saw Elvis in concert will tell you it wasn’t<br />
a performance- it was an experience.<br />
At the “Memories of Elvis” performance at the<br />
American Legion Post 400 on Old Gravois in Fenton,<br />
it was all in the details. Steve Davis’ exhaustive<br />
research into an Elvis live event took you on a journey<br />
through Elvis music from the early Sun Recordings to<br />
the later Las Vegas showroom experience.<br />
The show at the American Legion was done in front<br />
of a full house. A standing room only crowd took a trip<br />
back in time for a great performance. The show started<br />
with the nationally renowned Rivertown Sound, a harmonizing<br />
quartet. Next came a visit by Patsy Cline,<br />
singing Crazy, Walking after Midnight, I Fall to Pieces,<br />
and more. Then Buddy Holly dropped in for a performance.<br />
When Elvis took the stage, I mean Steve Davis, the<br />
crowd was electrified. Performing many hits, such as<br />
Jailhouse Rock, Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog, Love Me<br />
Tender and an amazing rendition of the American<br />
Trilogy.<br />
This was the first concert-type event at the American<br />
Legion. The purpose was to raise funds for disabled<br />
veterans. According to Post Commander Sid Staton,<br />
the event was a huge success.<br />
