February 22, 1967 Recording of backing tracks for the movie Clambake continued from 7.00 p.m. to 5.00 a.m. but without Elvis, who remained at his hotel. February 22, 1969 This was the last night in the American Studio and Elvis recorded only Who Am I? The session and the American experience ended at midnight. February 22, 1970 There were some difficulties with the showroom sound system for some time now and the Colonel threatened that Elvis would not perform his last 2 nights if the problem was not solved.

February 21, 1956 Elvis performed at the Florida Theater, Sarasota, Florida at 2.15, 4.30, 7.35 and 9.45 p.m. Here the newspaper called Elvis " the most talked-about new personality in the last 10 years of recorded music". It was also reported that between shows Elvis sat down and watched the western that was on the regular bill. February 21, 1957 Elvis was visited by his parents on the set of Loving You, where he performed Loving You and Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do in front of an audience. They were sitting quite plainly on the aisle, with Gladys clapping to the beat. It was said that Elvis was never able to watch the film again after his mother's death. February 21, 1966 Principal photography began on Spinout. February 21, 1967 This was the day Elvis was supposed to report to United Artists in Hollywood for the start of production on Clambake. The Colonel realized it would be almost impossible to get Elvis away from his new ranch, so he had arranged for the cast insurance exam to take place at 5.30 p.m. at RCA's Studio B in Nashville, where soundtrack recording was now scheduled to take place. Elvis arrived in a rented Learjet and after discussing song selection for the film, recorded until 6.00 a.m. the next morning. It was obvious to all present that Elvis had little interest in the movie songs. Except for You Don't Know Me, on which he expended 21 takes. However Elvis was still not satisfied with the result and would re-record the song later. February 21, 1969 Still at American, recording went on, but this time only from 7.30 until 10.30 p.m. and only 1 song and 1 instrumental track were completed.

February 19, 1956 Elvis performed at Fort Homer Hesterly Armory, Tampa, Florida at 2.00, 5.00 and 8.00 p.m. Elvis was billed here as "Country Music's Mr. Rhythm". The poster advised to come early for best seats. February 19, 1969 Another recording night at American; this time with songs like Kentucky Rain and Only The Strong Survive, which Elvis clearly made his own. February 19, 1971 Accidentally Elvis knocked himself in the mouth with the microphone in the mouth when a fan rushed the stage, chipping his tooth in the process. February 19, 1973 By now it was clear to everyone that the 4 men who jumped on stage the day before were nothing more than over stimulated fans, Elvis became convinced that they had been sent by Priscilla's boyfriend, Mike Stone. Elvis raged to all the guys and made accusations that it was Stone who broke up his marriage and that he was now trying to take his daughter away from him as well. In his anger Elvis even thought of killing Stone, but when he finally calmed down several days later, the idea abandoned his. February 19, 1974 Elvis was back in Los Angeles and with Lisa Marie when she had a tonsillectomy. February 19, 1977 Elvis performed at the Civic Center Freedom Hall, Johnson City, Tennessee.

February 18, 1969 Recording at American continued from 7.30 p.m. to 5.30 a.m. with the completion of 3 more songs, including a radical changed After Loving You. February 18, 1970 There was an afternoon rehearsal, since there was not enough new material in the show to fill out an album. The 3 songs were The Wonder Of You, Release Me and See See Rider. Recording continued during both shows on this and the following night. February 18, 1973 Four men jumped on stage toward the end of Elvis' performance at the midnight show in Las Vegas. Several members of the entourage rushed to defend Elvis. However it was Elvis himself who knocked one of the men back into the audience. When order was finally restored, Elvis told the audience: "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I'm sorry I didn't break his goddamned neck is what I'm sorry about." February 18, 1976 Elvis had returned to Colorado with the idea of buying a vacation home but returned to Memphis almost immediately after his Denver police friends attempted to talk to him about his increasingly erratic behavior.

He does not want to disappoint the people who came to see him. There will be no late show tonight. Thank You." February 14, 1975 Elvis was discharged from the hospital, but in order to avoid crowds of fans this was done between midnight and 1.00 a.m. He returned to Graceland to recuperate. Dr.Nick had hoped to regulate Elvis' medication and diet and began a routine, in which either he or his nurse, would stop by Graceland every day to dispense the allotted prescriptions. Dr. Nick also encouraged Elvis to play racquetball with him as often as he could and he spent time in discussion with Elvis.
