Description
1969 was the year Elvis re-discovered himself as a live performer.
I missed the closeness of a live audience. So just as soon as I got out of the movie contracts, I started to do live performances again.
Elvis Presley
Following his triumphant comeback special for NBC at the end of 1968, Elvis Presley made a highly-publicized return to live performance in the summer of 1969, booking an exclusive engagement at The International Hotel in Las Vegas.
During this historic run of concerts, which broke the citys records for show attendance, Elvis treated audiences to a raucous rock set inspired by the sessions to his just-released studio album From Elvis In Memphis.
That August also saw the release of Suspicious Minds which would go on to be one of the most well-known Elvis songs of all-time.
First chronicled in part on the album Elvis In Person At The International Hotel 50 years ago, Live 1969 showcases this incredible, important phase in Elvis career in even greater detail.
