This 2001 album documents two concerts from Presley's June 1972 stand at Madison Square Garden, his first U.S. shows in years. The recording captures the King in command, though his voice shows some strain from the demanding schedule.

• The album reached number 3 on Billboard's Top 200 chart.
• The shows were Presley's first concerts in New York City in over a decade.
• Colonel Tom Parker, Presley's manager, was a key organizer of the MSG engagement.

Elvis Presley was a rock and roll singer from Tupelo, Mississippi, best known for popularizing the genre in the 1950s. This 2001 release captures a later period of his career, following his extended Las Vegas residency.
