Highrise Tower Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I was browsing the newspaper The Southern Citizen dated June 7, 1954 and came across a business ad for Paladium Club located at 1000 Old Spanish Trail. Cool find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just becoming known and hadn't yet had his first chart hit. I got the jpeg above from the Scotty Moore website run by James v. Roy. The site includes all the venues that Elvis, Scotty and Bill Black played. The page below has information on the Palladium (originally Jerry Irby's Texas Corral) and if you scroll down until you see the "Elvis Pressley" jpeg you'll see more about his performance there and later 1954-56 shows. It's worth reading. http://scottymoore.net/houston.html#PAL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
