The concert that Elvis did on June 10, 1972 at Madison Square Garden in New York is still in the top twenty most successful happenings in this legendary, mainly used for sports purposes, building. Elvis had 80,000 visitors in four days. Not bad in a city where southern boys were usually considered as stupid peasants. Elvis came, saw and conquered.

Elvis' personality, charisma if you like, were enough. Plus his voice and great songs. Listen to 'Never been to Spain', 'Proud Mary', the funky editing of 'Hound Dog'.

The new FTD book entitled "Start Spreading The News", which is currently under construction, is about these concerts as of June 1972. Our Norwegian colleague Pål Granlund already sent us the book cover.
