(1969) It's 8:15 PM at the International Hotel Showroom in Las Vegas where Elvis is about to give his first live performance in years.The Sweet Insperations are on-stage opening the show.Elvis is backstage experiencing a near panic attack from stage fright.At 10:15 PM, Elvis steps onto the stage unceremoniously and seems to hesitate.The anxiety dissipates as he proceeds to rock the house with a rousing version of "Blue Suede Shoes." the invitation-only show finds many celebrities in the audience. The audience response is explosive,leaving fans on their feet the entire show.Elvis bursts with energy,falling to his knees,sliding across stage,even doing somersaults at one point.By show's end,rave reviews are already being dispatched across the country and the world.There is NO negative response as Elvis enjoys near-universal acclaim.
