“ELVIS: MIDNIGHT IN VEGAS” CONCERT

August 16, 2007 11:59 pmtoAugust 17, 2007 3:00 am

By popular demand! This exciting new concert event was added to the Elvis Week calendar just after Elvis: The 30th Anniversary Concert sold out in early May. Knowing that many Elvis fans attending that August 16th show would be beyond ready to keep rockin’ out with Elvis and his band with another concert, and wanting to do much more than just console those fans who will have missed out on tickets, we asked members of the cast to stay up late for you and re-create the wild excitement of Elvis’s midnight shows in Las Vegas. His dinner shows and matinee shows were outstanding, of course, but there was just something about Elvis at midnight…

11:59 PM - August 16. FedExForum in downtown Memphis. ELVIS: MIDNIGHT IN VEGAS stars the real Elvis Presley, exclusively using performance footage shot for production of the MGM concert film Elvis, That’s the Way It Is, which focused on his Summer 1970 engagement at International Hotel in Las Vegas. Elvis will be on the giant screen and live on stage will be a cast of singers and musicians – many of whom worked the 1970 Vegas engagement with him. Event runtime approximately 90 minutes.

Cast: Joe Guercio (musical director & conductor); TCB Band members James Burton (lead guitar), Glen D. Hardin (piano), Jerry Scheff (bass guitar), and Ronnie Tutt (drums); Sweet Inspirations members Myrna Smith, Estelle Brown and Portia Griffin; Imperials members Sherman Andrus, Terry Blackwood Joe Moscheo and Gus Gaches; Millie Kirkham (soprano); and members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.

All tickets are $55.00. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster online at www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available by Ticketmaster phone at (901) 525-1515. Tickets also may be purchased in person at all Ticketmaster Retail Ticket Center locations in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri and in person at the FedExForum box office. Typical ticketing service fees will be added. It is a matter of personal experience and preference which method you should choose. Group Ticket Sales: Leaders of groups numbering 50 or more people may contact the FedEx Forum box office staff at boffice@grizzlies.com to request seating together. There will be no VIP ticket packages for this event.

The venue will be cleared after the 30th Anniversary Concert. Details on how ticket holders for that concert will be given re-entry with their Midnight in Vegas tickets will be posted here as soon as possible. However, all 30th Anniversary Concert VIP ticket holders my remain in the VIP reception room until the doors open for seating at the Midnight in Vegas concert. The VIP room will close and those who have tickets to the midnight show may go to their seats and we will bid the others departing the VIP room a fond goodnight.

    Larry Geller was Elvis Presley’s hairdresser, spiritual guide, on-staff confidante and the last person to touch him in the coffin when he fixed the King’s hair for the last time.
    “That’s why I’m here today,” Geller testified, addressing an audience at the Memphis College of Art. He came prepared to tell secrets. His delivery was dramatic […]

  • Overton Park Shell

    Elvis, with Scotty Moore on guitar and Bill Black on bass, performed one of his first live performances at Slim Whitman’s show July 30, 1954. “We were all scared to death,” Scotty recalled. “Elvis, instead of just standing flat-footed and tapping his foot, he was kind of jiggling. … With those old loose britches that we wore, you shook your leg and it made it look like all hell was going on under there.”
