Elvis’ original guitarist, Scotty Moore, and drummer, DJ Fontana, rejoined Elvis to be part of the 68 Comeback Special band. Scotty and TV director Steve Binder recall how the spontaneous acoustic jam segment came together as organically as it looks.
The “sit down” set wasn’t even part of the original plan, but Binder knew he had to add this to the special once he stumbled on a backstage jam session. Although the broadcast only included less than 20 minutes of it, both full “sit down” concert tapings are included in the Complete 68 Comeback box set.
Many fans and critics agree that these “unplugged” sessions feature some of Elvis Presley’s finest recorded live performances. After seeing a screening earlier this year, LA Times TV writer Robert Lloyd wrote, “Elvis sweats real sweat as he sings the old songs with new energy…as raw and real as any performance I’ve ever seen.”

Paul English fills us in the the third True Outlaw Story from Willie Nelson’s classic song “Me and Paul.” He takes us back to Buffalo for a “package show with Kitty Wells and Charley Pride.” This one involves a lot of whiskey, Charley Pride’s guitar and a black leather hat.
Willie and Charley have performed together many times, as they are pictured here from a 1976 Country Music Association party at Soap Creek Saloon in Austin, Texas.

When you think about any of Elvis Presley’s live TV appearances, there are always a bunch of young, screaming girls anytime Elvis moves any part of his body. Forty years ago, Kathy Eskenazi Handl was one such excited teen in the audience when the 68 Comeback Special was taped at NBC studios in June 1968.
In this episode, she details her whole experience, from how she begged a network suit for tickets, through the show, to when she even got to hold his guitar.
