1968 Comeback Sit-Down Sessions Justified & Stripped CD - Elvis new DVD and CDs Elvis Presley FTD Bootleg Import Live Concert CD and DVD - Elvis Presley Rare DVD and CDs Elvis Live Concert On Tour DVD Outtakes

Moments before stepping into the famous boxing-ring set, Elvis privately confessed that he could not do it.

Faced with the prospect of performing live once again, he feared embarrassment and failure. Yet with encouragement from producer Steve Binder and the musicians waiting onstage, Elvis walked into the spotlight, sat down with his guitar, and began the journey back to himself.

This “Justified and Stripped” presentation seeks to bring listeners even closer to that moment. Though the closing song, “Memories” is the only song during the session to feature orchestral elements which have been removed to reinforce the core rhythm section, the main focus returns to the musicians gathered inside the ring, presenting the main core of the set in newly remastered stereo sound. What emerges is a group of friends rediscovering the music that first brought them together.

This historic session reminds us that before the comeback was a triumph, it was a risk—and that Elvis met it with the same courage, passion, and raw musical instinct that had changed popular music fourteen years earlier.
