📀 "First time any artist has received five gold records in one year."

March 1, 1970. Elvis during Press Conference in Houston, Texas.

After the final show there was a press conference at which Elvis was presented with gold records for 5 of his 1969 releases. RCA Vice-President Rocco Loginestra was on hand to present Elvis with five gold records. They were 'In The Ghetto', 'Suspicious Minds', 'Don't Cry Daddy' and two albums 'Elvis At The International' and 'From Elvis In Memphis'. It is reported that this is the first time any artist has received five gold records in one year.

At the Sunday afternoon press conference (This Press Conference has always been wrongly dated as being from February 27, 1970, but no Press Conference was held on that date) Elvis said he hadn't seen anything of Houston outside his hotel suite and the Astrodome. Elvis went on to tell reporters "I got a big thrill out of this appearance, I loved it. I know I'm signed to do the International Hotel in Las Vegas again, but nothing has been said about other personal appearances. I'd like to do them." Later in the news conference he said "I knew it would be hard work at the Dome. There is no personal contact. I decided I just had to work as hard as I could, do the show and get off. The sound system bugged me the first night because I kept hearing my own echo. We had our own engineer and we got that all straightened out." Source: elvispresleymusic.com.au

On March 3rd, 1974, Elvis played two shows as part of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, breaking his own 1970 attendance record at the event, with over 44 000 people at the evening performance.

This is an interesting, pared down version of Suspicious Minds, without the usual orchestral backing (the staging arrangements meant it was the TCB Band and singers only). The brief snippet of the show concludes with the band introductions.
