Comment: 1968 comeback special's 40th anniversary!!

Name: Pat Geaney

Comment: Hey Darren, Well, Well, Well, the 1968 comeback special happened the same year i was born. I'm reading the sleeve notes to the deluxe box special and it says Elvis cut it in June. A month later i was born and i always knew a lot of shit went down in '68 but the thing that impresses me most is that Presley sat down with Scotty Moore and Dj Fontana  and showed 'em how its done. i bought the album when i was eleven and was bowled over by how raw the sound was. It was only in 2003 that i saw the extended television version and i bought the box three years ago. Wow, the sit down gigs are just so cool, maybe i'm wrong but i read that Elvis and Co. had a one hour break between the two shows. I think in the second show he sings even better, even though the first one has its magic moments. Lawdy Miss Clawdy, Tiger Man, Baby Wha'd ya want me to do, the music is just awesome. I could give similar praise to Elvis' heroic last stand in the 1977 shows. He was the greatest, honestly i never heard of him till he died and i still miss him. The '68 comeback, the gospel segment alone always grabbed me on the original album.' Up above my head', the beautiful "where could i go' and the awesome 'Saved' written by "Leiber and Stoller, ie King Creole, Houndog and Jailhouse Rock. And speaking of Jailhouse Rock, then back to the special. Presley laying waste to all would be contenders and pretenders. If any one is ever in doubt who The King Of Rock ' Roll is, then play 'em that one from the stand up gig. TCE and TLC, pat.

Comments: Well Darren that show really was one of Elvis' sexiest performance and he was in great form physically and mentally.  Other than the Aloha special the 68 special was the concert most remembered
