Thanks again Davide, this is superb.
I saw Elvis live in concert the year before he died. Even then, he was bigger than life, and had amazing charisma. Haven't seen anything like it since, ....until Adam.........Nocturnal 2010

David, another great topic.
However, you should credit FECC for the Presley band musicians listed.
Two names were unknown for over 48 years until my topics -->
Sinatra Show - March 1960 -> Name The Band !

I still hope to solve the mystery of that acoustic bass player, too.

Please let me know when it gets in there.
I am going to borrow that terrific bass player screen grab, if you don't mind.

Further info
In 1975 ABC destroyed the master videotape to free up space in their storage facilities. Video technicians did their best to improve an inferior copy for use in the "Sinatra - Classic Duets" PBS special.
Malcom Leo talking about 'This Is Elvis'
"The Sinatra Timex show actually came to us through Elvis own collection when we returned from Memphis with a lot of filmed material,there was an unmarked box and it was Elvis copy of the Timex show. We Subsequently got a better copy from an ABC affiliate station,I forget where."

Once more, many thanks Davide for these wonderful pictures and useful comments !
Although he sang only the two songs of his new single, one of these moments of greatness in Elvis career.
Think what it'd have been, if he had done a full hour tv special !
Man...!

In the early sixties, Elvis at his best and on the top of the world.
