It was July 31, 1969, Opening Night at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, and Elvis was about to give his first full concert appearance since 1961.
In June 1968, Elvis taped four shows before a live audience for his NBC-TV Special, ELVIS, but that had been in an intimate setting, not a 2,000-seater showroom. And there would be no opportunity for any retakes tonight. It was make-or-break time.
This box set was given to VIP guests on opening night. The set contained 2 LP’s “From Elvis In Memphis” and “Elvis’ NBC-TV Special, a 1969 Elvis RCA catalog, Elvis 1969 pocket calendar(s), 2 Elvis 8×10 B&W photos and 1 8×10 color photo and a 9 page letter from RCA.
