About this listen

A chronicle of the comeback performance that marked Elvis Presley’s return from the screen to the stage.

Take a tour behind the scenes at the NBC television special that relaunched Elvis Presley’s career as a stage musician. Author Steve Binder—who directed the TV special—provides exclusive “backstage” access that gives fans even more insight into the performance that many see as a high point in the King of Rock’s reign of American music. Learn how Binder gave us in this Comeback Special, the first MTV Unplugged with Elvis performing in an intimate acoustic musical setting. Narrated by Dennis Quaid, hear the real story behind how Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, tried to quash the entire show and how Steve Binder stood in his way, providing cover so Elvis could perform like he hadn’t in nearly ten years.

Being released in conjunction with author Steve Binder's new feature-length documentary Reinventing Elvis: The ’68 Comeback on Paramount+.

Dennis Quaid was not a good choice to narrate this audio book about a very special time in Elvis's career...,ESPECIALKY when Quaid tries -- and fails miserably -- to imitate Elvis' speaking voice and southern accent.

Great story about Elvis, but terrible choice for reader

Loved hearing the way the "68
Special" came about and how
"the colonel" tried to ruin it all and how Elvis saved his own show. Wish he could have done that with the rest of his career.
BUT where are the interviews at the end which Mr. Binder mentioned. It would have been fascinating to hear them.

GREAT
