Transcript

00:00You're an embarrassing standing out here, Steve. I gotta do something.

00:03Everything for his future depended on this special.

00:08Okay, are you ready?

00:10No, but we'll try anyway.

00:11He's really, really nervous. He's sweating nerves.

00:14He knew that this could be a failure and that would be it.

00:16Well, I'm gonna have to do it sooner or later, so I might as well get on with it, baby.

00:23Elvis was a new type of 20th century man.

00:26The pure arc light of his talent.

00:29It was as cool as it possibly gets.

00:32He was the highest paid movie star in America.

00:38But it evolved to a thing of the 60s.

00:40He was doing music that wasn't great, doing movies that nobody believed in.

00:45He was the original rebel, and now he's relegated to really being a family entertainer.

00:50And I think that really hurt.

00:52Overnight, it was all gone. It was like a dream.

00:59People start looking for meaning in music.

01:02Something that's deeper than anything they heard from Elvis.

01:05I didn't know what to do. I just felt I was obligated to things that I didn't fully believe in.

01:10No matter how big Elvis got, he's still the guy that grew up in a tar shack.

01:15There's always somebody in here saying, you're not far from going back there.

01:19They couldn't have paid me no amount of money in the world to make me feel any satisfaction inside.

01:24He thought, if this is ending, I want to end as the Elvis I want to be.

01:28Not the Elvis they want me to be.

01:30The 68 Comeback Special, it's sort of the first step towards control of his own destiny.

01:36Here's Elvis Presley.

01:40He was very nervous because he hadn't done anything like that before.

01:43Ain't no room around here for a guitar man.

01:46He comes out and he's the best looking guy on the planet.

01:50It was the first time I saw him perform and I went, whoa.

01:53I felt like my team came back and they're winning again.

01:57Now, wait a minute, wait a minute. There's something wrong with my lip.

02:01What you see that night is the one time Elvis decided to be who he wanted to be for himself.

02:13Elvis took Elvis to the next level.
