Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.Elvis' '68 COMEBACK SPECIAL was his chance to prove to countless TV viewers that the Elvis who embarrassed himself and his fans in countless lame films and sub-par albums throughout the early-to-mid-'60s was not the real Elvis. This was his attempt to reclaim his rightful place in the world of rock & roll, which had come so far since he helped invent it in the mid-'50s. Over the course of two discs, MEMORIES documents the entire evening, both the prearranged portion of the evening (disc one) and the ad hoc acoustic jam session that was the real highlight of the performance. The real hook here is the presence of several previously unreleased cuts from the latter, which go a long way toward portraying the 1968 Elvis as a man with nothing to prove, possessed of a rock & roll soul he couldn't lose no matter how many white jumpsuits he donned.
