Elvis' manager colonel tom Parker was opposed to 'his boy' going anywhere that might promote a rival artiste, 'but Elvis wants to see tom perform so we're coming anyway,' said his road manager joe Esposito when he called me to ensure that elvis and his entourage would have a ringside table.
After the show Elvis came backstage and hugged Tom while lavishing him with praise. Tom's wife and priscilla sat in the corner showing each other photographs of their respective new daughters, Joanne and Lisa Marie.
Elvis reportedly said 'you lit a fire in me tonight, I'm going to tell that old man I need to get back on the road.' And, sure enough, he phoned the colonel the following day to demand that instead of signing him up to make more movies he had to set up a stage comeback.
