Same Old Thing - Elvis Presley Wows 'Em
by Jim Spoerhase
Spokane Chronicle
August 31, 1957
Mob hysteria gripped Spokane Municipal stadium last night as thousands keyed up teenagers screamed, shrieked and shouted their approval of Elvis Presley.
The wild gyrations and jumpy songs of the Rock 'n' Roll singer whipped a good part of the crowd of 12,000 persons into screaming squealing mass."
