FULL BIOGRAPHY OF ELVIS PRESLEY

(1968-1970)

THAT’S THE WAY IT IS, AUGUST 1970

Elvis returns to Las Vegas for the second engagement of the year. The Colonel gives it the promotional name “Elvis Presley Summer Festival“. This is another month long engagement at the International Hotel. The opening show takes place on August 10 and will end on September 7. Metro Goldwyn Mayer cameras are at the hotel to film a documentary called “Elvis That’s The Way It Is” given the agreement that Col. Tom Parker, Elvis Presley, and the film company have reached and will show Elvis offstage , in rehearsals, in the recording studio, and on stage. 

Fans will be able to see how Elvis prepares for the new season of concerts in Las Vegas. His record company, RCA, he will also release a self-titled album of live and studio tracks previously recorded in Nashville this past June. 

The images in the film speak for themselves; We are looking at a happy Elvis, fit and focused on putting on good shows for his fans who have waited so long to see him live again.
