Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas [Live]
Elvis performing ‘Blue Christmas’ in front of a live audience during his 1968 Comeback Special.
I was literally just talking to a guy across my desk about the Comeback Special and this pops up on my dash.
Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight
Geez, I missed EP’s Death Day - 34 years gone. Here he is losing it on stage - one of my favorites. I dunno, just makes him seem more like regular guy.

OK Country fans, here’s The King covering Waylon covering Billy Joe.

Elvis Presley - Big Boss Man
Back up soul singers and horns - that’s what I would travel with.
Elvis Presley - Walk a Mile In My Shoes
Post Comeback Elvis (‘68-‘72) is my favorite. Before is movie cheese and after is just too damn sad.
