Elvis Presley<\/a> was all shook up \u2014 and not in a chart-topping kind of way.<\/p>\n

When the King of Rock and Roll arrived for four sold-out Madison Square Garden shows in 1972, he was no longer the cocky, pompadoured platinum-selling teen idol of the \u201850s.<\/p>\n

Presley, according to a close pal, was instead nervous and unsure about his New York return after a 15-year hiatus that followed his appearance with Ed Sullivan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember a conversation with Tom Jones where Elvis says, \u2018Tom, I don\u2019t know if people are going to like me in New York,\u2019\u201d recalled Jerry Shilling, a charter member of Presley\u2019s Memphis Mafia.<\/p>\n

Turns out they did, thank you \u2014 thank you very much. By the time Elvis left the building on June 11, he charmed and thrilled a then-record 80,000 fans.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old Presley was tanned, fit and pumped for the spotlight. He prowled the stage in a form-fitting jumpsuit and glittering gold cape, backed by the killer TCB Band (with guitar god James Burton) as he sang in a voice both full and clear.<\/p>\n

Two of the four MSG shows, along with a bootleg video shot by a fan with a hand-held camera, are packaged in a new set titled \u201cPrince From Another Planet\u201d – available for the first time this Tuesday.<\/p>\n
