Elvis Presley performed what was viewed at the time as comeback shows on the afternoon and evening at the Houston Astrodome on February 27, 1970. Two more shows followed on the 28th, two more followed on March 1. A closing press conference and banquet followed, and Elvis was presented with an armload of recent gold record awards. The six shows attracted 207,494 people and set records. There was speculation among the press and the public that Elvis might tour in concert for the first time since the fifties.

Were you at one of those shows? What was it like?!!
