ELVIS ’68 Comeback Special concert August 16; featuring Robert Shaw

On this very special evening, we will pay special tribute to The King, as this is the date he passed away at his Memphis home, 42 years ago. This amazing show is based on the famous television special aired by NBC December 3, 1968. Originally titled Singer Presents…Elvis, this show marked Presley’s return to live performance after seven years during which his career was centered in the movie business. Filming took place in June 1968 at NBC’s Burbank Studios. The show consisted of a sit-down section, stand-up numbers and two musicals. The sit-down session showcased Presley in an informal setting, surrounded by fans and a small band. It was the most watched show of the season. Later known as the “Comeback Special,” it re-launched Presley’s singing career and his return to live performance. Relive the history-making performance when Robert Shaw brings us his re-creation of this iconic music special! On sale now online and at Activities.
