About this listen
A chronicle of the comeback performance that marked Elvis Presley’s return from the screen to the stage.
Take a tour behind the scenes at the NBC television special that relaunched Elvis Presley’s career as a stage musician. Author Steve Binder—who directed the TV special—provides exclusive “backstage” access that gives fans even more insight into the performance that many see as a high point in the King of Rock’s reign of American music. Learn how Binder gave us in this Comeback Special, the first MTV Unplugged with Elvis performing in an intimate acoustic musical setting. Narrated by Dennis Quaid, hear the real story behind how Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, tried to quash the entire show and how Steve Binder stood in his way, providing cover so Elvis could perform like he hadn’t in nearly ten years.
Being released in conjunction with author Steve Binder's new feature-length documentary Reinventing Elvis: The ’68 Comeback on Paramount+.

Steve Binder = Genius
Always great to hear Steve Binders memoirs of a pivotal time in Elvis History . Not so sure Denis Quaid needed to do literal bad Elvis impersonations though when narrating the Legends dialogue . Bit Cringe👎🏻

A fantastic listen ….. but no interviews at the end as SB advised? Thanks to Steve Binder for digging his heels in against the Colonel!

Elvis at his best
A very enjoyable book, only spoilt for me by the narrators imitation of Elvis’s speaking voice. I felt that it was unnecessary and detracted from the book.
But it was lovely to hear about Elvis filming the 68 Special.

Steve binders memories and honest words.
I loved hearing how the 68 special was made and put together and all the little stories in between. A fascinating story for any Elvis fan.
