Elvis (1968 TV program)
Elvis Presley’s informal jamming in front of a small audi-
ence in the ’68 Comeback Special is regarded as a fore-
runner of the so-called ’Unplugged’ concept, later popu-
larized by MTV.[1]
History
Original concept
Despite huge success in both his music and acting careers
following his release from the army in 1960, Presley’s
career had declined steadily in the years leading up to
1968.[2] The music scene had changed dramatically since
his last U.S. #1 single in 1962, and Presley was in no doubt
that bands such as the Beatles, and the British Invasion in
particular, were leading "the swinging sixties". [3]
Partly due to the repetitive scripts and laughable
song choices, as well as the general feeling that he was
"uncool", Presley’s films had been making less money
with each release and he was tiring of Hollywood.[3]
Colonel Parker, Presley’s manager, had found it increas-
