Elvis's Vegas comeback show was 50 years ago today

This week marks the 50th anniversary of Elvis’s Vegas comeback show, on July 31, 1969. The New York Times writes, "Elvis’s Vegas years are mostly recalled as a period of commercial excess and artistic decline... But for that 1969 comeback, and at least a year or two after, Elvis was at his peak as a stage performer, and he created a show that not only revitalized his career, but changed the face of Las Vegas entertainment."
