So yes, it is so interesting to see that Maybelline was one of nationwide advertisers and Bank of America one of local San Diego advertisers. The main sponsor for this tv special seems to be Chevrolet.
The biggest surprise to me was that CBS' Young Dan'l Boone tv series promoted Elvis in Concert tv special, because it proves that CBS has put some extra promotion regarding Elvis' tv special!
Here is a link to CBS special presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOZp8154MK8&t=4s
P.S. According to IMDb there were eight episodes made but only four episodes of Young Dan'l Boone tv series aired.

I'm sure it wasn't the first time but wow... what an incredible connection Elvis had with his fans. I always believed that Elvis truly loved and appreciated his fans and even near the end, it was obvious the feeling was mutual.
And for as difficult as the Omaha show must have been to sit through, he receives another standing ovation at the end of that show.
Thanks for posting that...

There's a real paradox there. Whilst Elvis could show up in bad shape, perform poor shows, yet still be showered with adulation, nothing was going to change.
That said one of the few positives we can take from the CBS footage is the way the love from the fans comes across, despite Elvis' problems being very much apparent.
And given what I've heard from 1976 -7 over the years Rapid City was certainly one of the better shows, with Elvis giving it his all for the fans and the CBS cameras.
He will always be the king no matter what...

Thanks. Where did that come from?

I wish now I would have kept the commercials in for the nostalgia of them, especially the local commercials from my area.

That's interesting, so when the tv special was rerun nationwide (for the last time), CBS should broke it to two parts because of breaking weather news in somewhere in USA, right? I didn't knew that. When that rerun happened?
May I ask for that what were your thoughts about tv special in '77? I mean that what kind of impacts did it make on you? Other than you're still driving Chevrolet and drinking Michelob beer on weekends!
I love those 70's commercials, because they so sweet ones!

Rerun's quote: "The second half of the show..."

First airing's quote: "The second half of the show was being edited at press time..." It is interesting that tv special was not made completely when mentioned "press time" was made. In the back cover of Elvis in Concert LP-set, which was released on October 3rd, 1977 (simultaneously with CBS' tv broadcast) there reads that "Early Morning Rain was added to the television show at press time". Was CBS trying to rush the airing of the show for some reason?
