1969Las Vegas Concerts
Having done his last benefit concert in Honolulu in 1961, Elvis finally returned to Las Vegas on July 31st, 1969, in a simple black suit on a dark stage, after spending several years involved in other things, such as recording great sessions at American Studios, and making his last movies.
Elvis performed every year until 1976, doing a lot of concerts. The concerts could be short, long, mediocre or fantastic but Elvis always sold his concert tickets out! The regular season for Las Vegas was during the summer and just after Christmas but the last two years, Elvis changed this pattern and did them before Christmas.
He did two concerts daily; one in the afternoon and one at midnight. Some concerts had to be canceled for different health reasons:
- In 1973 , January 31-February 1 and February 13-14.
- In 1974 , August 26.
- In 1975, the entire Las Vegas season of Jan 26 - Feb 9 was postponed until Mar 18 - Apr 1. The summer season of Aug 21 - Sep 1 was canceled.
