There was an Elvis thing on TV last night. They showed footage from the last concert, and some from a concert at the HIC in Hawaii.
It was kinduva Memory Lane kick for me. I was at the last 2 concerts he did at the HIC as a kid (one the "Live via Satellite" concert, and another one within that same year...been too long to remember which was first). In the backstage footage of his last concert, there was a silver-haired Hawaiian behind him in a red concert jacket, watching his back and offering support. It was wierd seeing Parker young. I was watching this in a room full of people; none knew who Parker was, and most only knew of Elvis via the legend and the name, and had no direct memory of his music. Dang, I'm gettin' old.
Regards,
Dave.
PS -- Did anybody else catch the show? (Elvis, by the Presley's).
