To be released soon (early of March) from the "VV" label for the first time in vinyl the very first show ever recorded from the  magical Elvis’ first Las Vegas season  titled "Return Of The Pelvis" and will feature the Las Vegas August 03, 1969 Dinner Show. We are glad and overall happy to have the  possibility to produce for the second  time a show from Elvis very first season.  

As Always VV attitude is to present Elvis at the peak of his possibility and without doubt this seminal  record present  Elvis at his top. Both vocal and physical. “Elvis appears better than ever” delivering incredible show without weak spot. If Rock is attitude, the man got  it as never.

"First performance in nine years" as most the headlines of the newspaper review report. The King is finally back to live performance. After to spent or wasted the last decade making movies the king is back. Dressed in black tunic with long and neatly combed hair Elvis stepped on stage giving like to the hysteria again stopping the time or better bringing back to the 1956 again.

In seventy crazy minutes Elvis gives life to his best, spacing and personalizing all music kinds as nobody can do it... no other words are necessary. The running-time of this set is 67 minutes.
