    Elvis was so nervous that he almost didn't do the 68 comback special. He had to be Given a real pep talk to get the courage to go out there. Once he got out there and was able to relax, Elvis made history once again. Elvis was actually very shy and somewhat insecure off stage for the most part.

    FYI…The two guys backing him up were old friends that were his original band when he first started out. They almost didn’t come due to their contempt for Col. Parker, but finally agreed to play out of respect for Elvis. The idea for that spot came when the producer of the show found the three old friends in E’s dressing room jamming and telling stories of the “old days”…He had wanted to film them there, but Parker wouldn’t permit it🙄
    The part was unscripted and Elvis was incredibly nervous about doing it. But, once they got onstage and started reminiscing…the music started flowing! Can you imagine, it was like being a fly on the wall to true music history….

    Elvis went for many years to fulfill his obligation to do light style movies and left the performances. He was deathly afraid they had forgotten him and hence the 68 special was his comeback to the spotlight.
    56 years later he is STILL 🔥 FIRE!

    This is the only performance you'll see with him wearing the black leather outfit. He hated it. He said he about burnt up on stage, it was so hot. He swore he'd never wear black leather on stage again and if you check out all of his subsequent performances, you'll see that he didn't.
    I think the only people my mom loved more than Elvis were my dad and Jesus. I have her old records of his, albums included. I think she had them all. My dad took her to Graceland every year while on vacation. My dad doted on mom and tried to always please her. The last two years of his life he retired and tried to take her everywhere she had ever said she wanted to go. He passed of liver cancer in 1993 and from then until June 6 2014 when my mom passed, not a day passed that she didn't mention how much she missed him. I know I'll see them both again when I get to heaven. Hoping Elvis might be there too. He was troubled but, he was also a very spiritual man so, he may very well be there.
    I suggest y'all check out my mom's favorite Elvis song, "His Hand In Mine."

    I haven't even watched the new Elvis movie, because I've been a fan since 1955, and I'm pretty sure I already know everything there is to know. The Elvis movie was more for newbies that don't know much about Elvis. I don't even like Elvis tribute stars. Been to Graceland 4 times. I always enjoy the real deal all the time, anywhere, anytime with 600+ mp3 Elvis songs on my cellphone or in my 13X17 Elvis room on my lower level of my house. Tons of albums, tons of cds, tons of dvds, tons of collectibles filling shelves and on the walls.

      You have to see the movie! I have been an Elvis fan for 58 years and saw him twice in concert. I thought the movie was fantastic. I saw it 5 times in theater. I never do that. The cinematography, costumes, makeup were startling good. The actor playing Elvis did such a good job. It is 90% about his career. Not his personal relationships. The colonel acts as the narrator. Watching it is like being on a roller coaster. Not a typical biopic.real footage of Elvis is cut into montages of concert footage.
      An Elvis room. So cool. Since the Elvis movie, I have bought so many FTD albums. I was able to get one that is the actual recording of one of the concerts I was at. I’m going to need an Elvis room soon. TCB.

She worked as a waitress part time after school when she turned 16: the manager of the movie theater next door would come over every afternoon for his coffee break. He would leave her movie tokens for her tip, so she was able to go see all the Elvis movies! She would stay & watch them over & over…

    This was a tv special with numerous settings.....was 2 hours long. This was set as a jam session with a round stage in the middle of the audience with the fans surrounding them all. It was called Elvis , was later dubbed The Comeback Special because Elvis spent most of the 60's in Hollywood making movies. He got so discusseted with the scripts that as soon as he fulfilled his contract he left and started touring and doing his Vegas residencies pretty much immediately.

    It became known as the '68 Come Back Special because it was his first live performance since his service in the Army. While he was gone the Beatles and the whole British invasion changed the vibe of rock-n-roll music and Elvis wasn't sure his fans would still be with him because he'd been away from the scene for so long. The songs he sang (including this one) during this "sit down" portion of the special were his old hits from his early years and, in my opinion (as an Elvis fan since his beginnings in the 50's) he pulled them off even more powerfully than he did in his original recordings. If you watch Baz Luhrmann's 1922 epic biopic, "ELVIS", you'll get the background on the heated behind-the-scenes drama that was unfolding during the production of this historic TV special.

    Elvis has been dead for 45 years and still has an unprecedented effect on women who are seeing him perform for the first time. There is not a single male performer alive today who can come close to competing with the talent and sexuality this man exudes when he performs. Women of all ages seem to find him just as irresistible now as they did almost 70 years ago! He truly is a phenomenon the likes of which will most likely never be seen again. There are cheap imitators but no one with his talent, heart and soul!

    This 68 comeback special was the result of Elvis having been out of the limelight since the late 50's early 60's. Elvis was in the Army for a couple of years , then he was contracted to do a series of movies which took away much of his creative musical talents that made him so popular in the 50's. While this was happening, the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the rest of the British invasion happened further pushing stars like him and Ricky Nelson out of the minds of young music fans. So Elvis put together this comeback special to reintroduce himself to the newer generation of music fans.

    I’d have tipped his chair backwards and taken my one chance at him if I’d been that close to Elvis. But alas, I wasn’t even born yet! 😊❤

      Check out a video called “I sang with him”. The Sweet Inspirations honestly believed that Elvis was an Angel…I know, but check it out. There were other divine things that Elvis was associated with. I believe it and I’m an atheist. Bottom line…Elvis was, no doubt, a good man.

    The 1968 comeback special was a TV special filmed in front of a fairly small audience. Elvis never looked or sounded better, and I'm not even a huge fan, although later in life I have come to appreciate his voice, stage presents and charisma.

    The 68 comeback special wasn't a single show. It was more like a full multi set program. This was the jam session part where elvis sang his early songs with his band in a layback environment. There was also a stand up segment where he was alone on stage standing up to the audience and rocking it out. A gospel section where he showed his gospel roots in an 8 minutes monster moment. A tribute to his movie careers with some different sets similar to his films where he sang and acted at the same time And the if I can dream song was the closure
