Elvis Presley's second appearance in The Ed Sullivan Show.
On his first appearance, Elvis was visibly nervous. He sang 'Shake, Rattle, and Roll' and 'Heartbreak Hotel', doing a little shaking and shimmying, and then quickly moved offstage.

By his final appearance, more of an interaction between Elvis and his audience took place as he worked hard to drive the girls in the crowd into a screaming frenzy. When he strummed the opening chord of 'Heartbreak Hotel' on his guitar, a burst of screams and applause broke out.
The interaction between Elvis and his fans was much like a game: He teased the women with his provocative moves; they screamed for more; he promised to go further; sometimes he did.
