Interview with Elvis Presley : The February 1970 Houston Astrodome Press Conference

The Houston Astrodome was chosen by Colonel Parker to be the first venue for Elvis to perform outside Las Vegas. This was done for several reasons, but none of them was because the place was suitable for a show of the kind Elvis held. 'The Dome' was an enormous hall, built in 1965, the least of its functions being for concerts. Parker was possibly unsure of Elvis' status in the wider world - performing in Las Vegas was something quite different from performing in venues which could seat far larger audiences. The rodeo show at 'The Dome' always attracted thousands of people no matter what...

After the concluding show Elvis held a press conference for about 100 journalists at Astroworld.

He declared that he got a big thrill out of the appearance in 'The Dome'.

Elvis checked out of Astroworld wearing a blue Easy Rider-inspired suede jacket and black trousers, taking with him 20 suitcases and 3 guitars - $1.2 million richer than 3 days earlier

So tired of people making stupid comments. Elvis sounds fine here. If you don't like Elvis, then go elsewhere. Elvis was a shy person, and had a very slight stutter at times due to that.

@WILDHERMAN elvis was mentally tormented his whole life because of the death of his twin brother and fame and fortune just got too much for him, I would do the same if I was in his place, look at all the celebrities in the past and present all druggies cuz of fame. So dont hate

@WILDHERMAN

You are the BIGGEST SOB EVER!

I hope that someday someone will accuse you of touching little boys and you will go to jail for many many years. And the BIG guys there will rape you, day by day for as long as you shall stay there. You´re an very evil person. May God forgive you, but to me: I Hope you will rot in hell..!!
