At 6.00pm, June 27 1968, Elvis took to the stage for the first time in over seven years, resulting in four one hour live shows being taped at NBC's Burbank studios.

A black-clad Elvis sat down and jammed with band mates for two shows, each show having a different audience. There was a one hour break between them (enough time for Elvis to shower and have his outfit dry cleaned after performing under the hot studio lights).

In the second two, recorded at 8.00pm, June 29, he remained standing and sang live to a mix of live and pre-recorded backing, again in front of two different audiences. These four sessions are often referred to collectively as "The Burbank Sessions", the name coming from not just the venue, but the titles of two collectible bootleg LPs which feature them.

Filmed in the round, only a small portion of these and the stand-up sets were included in the televised special. Elvis and the others played and sang while interjecting personal stories of his music and early performances.

Referring to music and his religious upbringing in a break between songs, Elvis says: "Rock and roll is basically gospel (music), and rhythm & blues sprang from that, people have been adding to it." He also makes reference to the new groups of the time, like The Byrd�s and The Beatles, and notes how things have improved and not just changed, like the standard of musicians and sound engineering.

Elvis is also prompted to speak about a Florida concert at which a judge had forbidden him to move and for the police film the show. In 2010 it is almost impossible to imajine being forbidden to move on stage, Elvis was truely the gateway into the 21st century and that is why we continue to listen to his music and want to wear his image and his jewellery.
