Description: ELVIS PRESLEY "Madison Square Garden" New York City | June 9, 1972 “The King of Rock N' Roll” performed his first-ever concert in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Although Elvis has played live in Manhattan back in the 1950's when appearing on such legendary variety shows hosted by the Dorsey Brothers, Steve Allen, and Ed Sullivan — Elvis had never performed a concert for the general public in the “Big Apple.”Over the course of three days — June 9th, 10th, and 11th — Elvis played four shows to an estimated 80,000 fans. The first live album issued from the run — Elvis: As Recorded At Madison Square Garden, was rush-released to hit stores a week after the first show on June 18th, 1972 and went on to peak at an impressive Number 11 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.Only hours before launching his sold-out, four-concert run at Madison Square Garden, marking his first New York City shows, Elvis spoke to the press, and shed light on why he returned to live performance: “I just missed it. I missed the closeness of an audience — of a live audience. . . So just as soon as I got out of the movie contracts, I started to do live performances again. There's so many places that I haven't been yet. Like, I've never played New York here. I've never been to Britain either. I'd like to go to Europe. I'd like to go to Japan and all those places. I've never been out of this country except in the service, y'know?” Not too long ago, Elvis' late, great drummer Ronnie Tutt explained that for the most part, taking the stage with Elvis was a blast: “We had a lot of fun. Elvis loved to laugh and make fun of himself and everybody (laughs) else around him. He had his serious side, of course, but we never knew what he was gonna do next, so it made it fun, (laughs) y'know?” Lovingly Produced in the TCB Photo Lab Please contact us for custom sizes...
