It's August first, and on this day in 1969... Elvis Presley held a post-show press conference at 12:30 a.m., following his return to live performance at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. Speaking candidly, Elvis admitted he was “a little nervous for the first three songs,” but then told himself, “what the heck, get with it man, or you might be out of a job tomorrow.” That night, he continued the routine of two electrifying shows—one at 8:15 p.m. and another at midnight—solidifying his Vegas comeback and proving the King was back on top.
