No. Read more carefully...

"The 50th Anniversary of the Elvis Comeback Special is set to feature today's biggest music artists
recreating the spectacle and the staging of the original show.
"


Well it's BETTER THAN NOTHING ! But why can't they bring the date forward to december 3 1968 ?

Thanks again jukebox. Yes i'm well aware of this high quality release that came out ten years ago and whilst it's close to what i was proposing, the product- The Complete '68 Comeback Special isn't exactly "complete". I want the WHOLE THING including the Western Recorders production stuff including the "Road medley" outtakes 24 june '68. BRING IT ON Bootleggers :lol:

I feel they missed the bus on promoting " If I Can Dream" on MLK's 50th Anniversary......and it goes on! :(

Priscilla's dopey brother-in-law, Gary Hovey sounds proud of his silly actions in keeping Elvis out of things !


He's so thick, he can't even get the titles of Elvis' songs right...

Dave Rogers started this petition to NBC

On December 3, 1968, NBC aired what has since become known as Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special which was not only the most watched TV special that year, but also the catalyst for a rebirth in Elvis' career and the motivating factor in his decision to return to performing in front of live audiences again after several years of making movies in Hollywood.

We are petitioning NBC to replay the unedited version of this special on the 50th Anniversary next December 3, 2018, in the same time slot of 9:00PM EST in honor of this historic television and cultural event.

This will not only be a great show of respect for the life and legacy of Elvis, but also a true thrill for his millions of fans around the world.




UPDATE




under 600 to go.



6,904 have signed. Let’s get to 7,500!

good on you Col. Seems only right. Plus i can relate, and will relate, to it's 50th anniversary later this year hahahaha.

Now just think for a moment, how cool this thing would be if the NBC or it's off shoot , broadcaster did in fact replay the SINGER PRESENTS ELVIS on the EXACT DATE of 3 DECEMBER at 9:00 Eastern Standard Time in the U.S.A ? A Case of History Does Repeat.
