This is some footage of Elvis at the Tupelo Fairgrounds. It was the 1956 Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show, and his appearance was billed as "Elvis Presley's Homecoming."
This video is really good. The creator is an Elvis historian. I have enjoyed his YouTube channel for a few years. If you like nuance, hidden gems and more context, he's the guy.
