Elvis Presley | New Years Eve Party at TJ's | December 31, 1970

December 31, 1970 : Starting the day still in Washington after his famous visit with President Richard Nixon,

Elvis expresses his admiration for J. Edgar Hoover to the FBI agent conducting the tour, remarking 'in private comments' after the tour, as recorded in the agent's memo, 'that he, Presley, is the 'living proof that America is the land of opportunity' since he rose from truck driver to prominent entertainer almost overnight'. Elvis offers to serve in an undercover capacity m any way he can. On the agent's recommendation Director Hoover sends Elvis a note on January 4, indicating that 'your generous comments concerning the Bureau and me are appreciated, and you may be sure we wil keep in mind your offer to be of assistance'.

Elvis then flies to Memphis in a leased jet in time for the annual New Year's Eve party at TJ's.

Entertainment for the evening was provided by TJ's artist-in-residence, Ronnie Milsap.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
