August 7th in Elvis History

It's August seventh, and on this day in 1970... Elvis Presley began rehearsing on the main stage of the Las Vegas Hilton showroom for the documentary *That's the Way It Is*. This day also marked the first time Elvis worked with musical director Joe Guercio, who led the orchestra. The collaboration launched a new era in Elvis’s live sound and stage production, helping to shape the powerful, orchestrated performances that would define his 1970s concert years.
