It’s raw, it’s real, and it makes you love him even more.

Opening night at the International Hotel wasn’t just another concert it was a moment of truth. Elvis hadn’t performed live for years and the pressure was skyhigh. But even with all the nerves, when the music started, magic happened. His voice, his energy and his charisma—they exploded onto the stage like a firework show nobody could ever forget.
