The Greatest Elvis Presley Show Ever? Although the point of view is purely subjective August 1970 is probably Elvis at his absolute peak as a live performer. Having already conquered Las Vegas with both his return to live performances a year before or consolidating that position with a triumphant return in January/February 1970 whilst updating his setlist with more contemporary material, he reached another level entirely in August. The stratospheric levels that Elvis would reach in this Vegas season would never again be reached with such consistency. Elvis would still have many more peaks and outstanding shows but not for a complete season and for that there were many reasons maybe not clear then but certainly now. During that season there is a show which has been billed by his record company, at the time of it's release in 2001 RCA/BMG, as probably the greatest concert he ever gave and this video makes it difficult to disagree. This show is of course the Midnight Show of 12 August 1970. Sit back, turn your volume up full, put on full screen mode and enjoy Elvis Presley at his absolute peak.
