It's November sixth, and on this day in 1971... Elvis Presley performed two sold-out shows at the Cleveland Public Hall Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio. These concerts marked a milestone in Elvis lore: for the first time, announcer Al Dvorin used the phrase that would become legendary—"Elvis has left the building." The day also capped a pivotal stretch in Elvis’s touring career, as he continued performing with his new vocal backing group, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet.
