Description:

Elvis Presley’s third and final television special was the most watched TV program in the U.S. when broadcast
seven weeks and six days following his death on 16 August 1977. It is his only special that remains unavailable on home video.

The official soundtrack, released by RCA as a two record set to coincide with the CBS broadcast and containing
additional songs that did not make the final video edit, went platinum within two weeks.

The singer’s father, Vernon Presley, made a brief appearance at the end of the program to thank fans who sent
letters and postcards of condolences regarding Elvis’ death.

In Sean Shaver’s book “Elvis’ Portrait Portfolio”, he wrote: “Compare this photo of the ‘CBS TV Special’ to the
footage seen on television. Somehow, the TV cameras made Elvis look worse than he really did. Here you can see
how he really looked.” Mr. Shaver is a Godsend to my efforts to get the truth out about Elvis’ last tour. Women
went nuts in Omaha and in Rapid City and it wasn’t because of nostalgia… it was due to the man standing in front of ‘em!

Two of Mr. Shaver’s images are featured at the top of this web page so you can see the point he was making is,
in fact, spot on. My forthcoming biography, “Elvis Presley - The 1977 CBS TV Special: The Truth At Last!” will
analyze the King’s performances in Omaha and Rapid City, as well as take an in-depth look at the controversial
29 May 1977 Baltimore, MD show.
