Prince From Another Planet

Released

After receiving negative reviews for his TV appearances in 1956 and 1957, Elvis Presley didn’t come back to New York for 15 years, but when he played four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in June 1972, he and his crack live band, driven by drummer Ronnie Tutt, tore the place down. Prince From Another Planet contains the hour-long afternoon and evening sets from Saturday, June 10 in their entirety. Like the albums he was making at the time, the shows include a mix of pop balladry and high-energy rock ’n’ roll numbers delivered in his unique style, which mixed country, soul, gospel and funk into something indefinable but purely Elvis.
