Call him the comeback kid. After being gone from the stage for more than 7 years, Elvis returned to the stage for a televised concert and was as electrifying as ever. In 1969, he shattered all Las Vegas attendance records for a 57-show engagement. One year later, he broke his own record. Again the following year after that, he shattered another concert record in Houston. Long live the King!
