It would have to be Elvis for me, although I do like the Beatles.
Elvis was a showman an entertainer as well.

Elvis of course he will always be the king
i suppose most of you will say the Beatles seeing as that most of you live in Britain while i live in Australia
Its like the euro contest its always the nearest country votes for the artist closer to them country wise
while iam open about all artist the Beatles were good also
but elvis was a better show man
He wrote and played Piano, and Guitar he sang gospel, rock County and blues a very versitile man

Well if I had too chose it would have to be the Beatles.
Don't get me wrong I think Elvis was great at what he did but he was just a singer at least the Beatles were 4 guys who played and wrote their own stuff.
Having said that, I suppose it comes down to personal choice. For example some might prefer Elvis's early stuff to the Beatles later stuff or they might prefer the Beatles early stuff to Elvis's later stuff etc etc.
But as I said it really has to be the Beatles, and if it was in an ideal world it would be a concert where they played a lot of their later stuff (not because I think it is better but because they never played a lot of it live in the first place. lol)

Definatly the Beatles, I'm not a big Elvis fan. Although thinking outside of the box, id rather see queen live to be honest.

The Beatles, hands down. I once turned down a ticket to an Elvis concert. Nothing against him, but the Beatles were MY TIME!

Despite the line in pulp fiction re Beatles man/Elvis man i like them both, but, id have to say Elvis for a live concert the guy was a natural showman.

Unless Elvis did all his early Sun Records stuff I'd have to say the Beatles!

Elvis all the way!
The Grandaddy of Rockabilly....
Elvis gave the white audience Rock'n'Roll and I dig his sound but it was cats like Roy Hamilton, Ivory Joe Hunter, Big Joe Turner and Chuck Willis that gave Elvis the ingredients to become da king!

Very good question. Grew up listening to both. Love both. As far as seeing who in concert tho, I would like to pick the beatles but I have never liked anything they recorded live cuz of all the screaming and such in background. Both had many songs that i enjoyed tho. Man I will be thinkin bout this question all day now. Peace2U.
