Elvis Unplugged

I can't stop thinking about Elvis.

I'm working through this out the only way I know how -



total immersion in Elvisness. This concert is pretty amazing. I never really got the whole Elvis thing. I remember when he died the local diner closed because the owner wanted to go to Graceland and pay her respects. But my only experience with the King was bloated, Vegas Elvis singing C.C. Rider or whatever. The Elvis in this concert is what I call Electric Elvis. For the generation who saw this concert, it was probably their equivalent of seeing Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Unplugged. I'm only guessing because I don' t get the guy that much. Anyway, there are twelve youtube parts to this documentary if you catch the obsession.
