The Complete Live & TV Anthology 1954–'61 is an extensive six-CD Elvis Presley collection documenting the crucial early years of his career. Beginning with surviving Louisiana Hayride performances from 1954, it follows Elvis through his groundbreaking television appearances, concerts across the United States and Canada, and concludes with his historic Pearl Harbor benefit concert on March 25, 1961.

The set brings together three previously released Memphis Recording Service (MRS) collections: Elvis On Television (2CD), The Complete 1950's Live Recordings (3CD) and One Night In Pearl Harbor (1CD). The result combines live performances, television broadcasts, radio material and interviews in one substantial collector's box.

The first two discs document Elvis' landmark television appearances, including all six Stage Show performances, his appearances with Milton Berle and Steve Allen, the three famous Ed Sullivan Show appearances and his 1960 television return on The Frank Sinatra Show. Discs three through five gather surviving 1950s live material from the Louisiana Hayride, Houston, Las Vegas, Little Rock, Tupelo and Canada.

Disc six presents the March 25, 1961 Bloch Arena concert at Pearl Harbor, performed in aid of the USS Arizona Memorial Fund. It includes Heartbreak Hotel, All Shook Up, Such A Night, Reconsider Baby, One Night, It's Now Or Never and Hound Dog, followed by the Hawaiian press conference and awards ceremony.

The recordings have been remastered and restored, while the package includes booklets featuring rare photographs, memorabilia and detailed background information. Released on September 18, 2026, the set carries EAN 0689492234928.
