Elvis Presley - 1973-01-29 - Las Vegas NV (early) (SBD)

While today, Howard Stern has crowned himself King Of All Media, back in early 1973 that title belonged to Elvis. In late 1972, his single Burning Love reached #2 on The Billboard charts, and #1 on the Cashbox Top 40 list. The tune would be Elvis's 40th and final Top 40 hit. On January 28, 1973, MGM's film, Elvis On Tour, won a Golden Globe Award for best documentary. Two weeks prior to that, on January 14, Elvis has played a concert from Hawaii which was broadcast around the world via satellite to an audience of over 1 billion people. Ironically, the show was not broadcast live in the US as it conflicted with the Super Bowl. American audiences had to wait until April to see the concert. RCA released a live album entitled Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite, which captured the concert in its entirety. The disc climbed all the way to #1 on the Billboard charts. So, as Elvis took the stage on January 29, 1973, 39 years ago today in Las Vegas, as captured in this soundboard recording, he clearly was on top of the world. It would be all downhill for the King, however, from that point until his death in 1977.
