Performer:Elvis Presley
In June 1968, perhaps the most important turning point in the legendary career of Elvis Presley. He became an amazing superstar in the mid-50s, followed by two years in the United States Army in March 1958 and his return in 1960. At the time, however, the United States was on the verge of a major change. During the decade, politics、Popular culture and music have changed dramatically. But Elvis did not become the centre of public discussion, but was marginalized. At the insistence of the broker, Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis was busy filming an increasingly monolithic Hollywood film. By 1968, he had not performed in front of the audience for seven years. At this time, Elvis' dominance in popular music has been replaced. Rolling Stones、Beatles、Motown Records、hendricks and a bunch of other top performers have almost forgotten elvis in the music world. thus, in the summer of 1968, elvis did not follow colonel parker's advice to record a christmas that was suitable for home invasion, but instead insisted on returning to his rock and roll roots, holding a live show, revisiting the classics of the past and paving the way for ambitious plans for the future. later, the programme was called “elves presley's special re-emergence” and was considered one of the best moments in his career. Through in-depth interviews, the first release of the personal files of Erves and Colonel Parker, as well as the rare 68-year feature and rehearsal videos, we will revisit this critical moment in Elvis's career and look at the fanaticism and chaos of the 1960s from the perspective of one of the most representative cultural icons in the United States。
