Feb,27,1970-Elvis is in Houston ,Tx for his first appearance at the Houston Astrodome.He holds a noon press conference talking about his musical roots,the current music scene and how those Sun records sounded "Funny" to him.He does his first show at 2pm,making a dramatic entrance circling the arena in a jeep.He is discouraged during and after the first show because of the poor acoustics and what he considered to be an indifferent response from a less than capacity crowd.But then his spirits are lifted at the evening show by the tremendous response from a crowd of 36,299(10,000 more than the previous record)and his performance is called "Masterful" by Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times.Below is the complete press conference plus some fan shot footage of the show!!
