Elvis: The comeback show at Concertgebouw + 3 course dinner

About the Event

Fifty years ago, Elvis recorded the legendary Comeback Special. From Jailhouse Rock to If I Can Dream: Barry Hay, Anne Soldier, Lucas Hamming and others bring this concert to life. That's all right!

Elvis' comeback


In 1968 Elvis recorded a legendary TV performance, which later became known as The Comeback Special. Why? For years now, the 33‐year‐old singer has performed purely in silent films, instead of on stages. It was time to rekindle the black doctrine. I can do better before I get too old', he joked in a press conference. The Comeback Special showed an informal Elvis in top form and especially heard. Whether he was singing gospels, dancing passionately at Jailhouse Rock or transforming the spirit of the age into If I Can Dream. Fifty years after the date, the show revives and with it The King.



Barry Hay, Anne Soldier and others


Elvis, The Comeback Special is worn by the best Dutch rock musicians. Like Barry Hay, Lucas Hamming and Sandra from Nieuwland. Anne Soldaat and Yorick van Norden had already honoured their heroes before, with the performance Unsung Heroes. Tonight Elvis, who never performed outside America, lives for a while in the Great Hall. That's all right!
