Colonel's Birthday on the Set of the '68 Special
On June 26, 1968, Elvis, cast and crew enjoy a party in honor of his manager Colonel Tom Parker's birthday. It "snows" as nod to Colonel's longstanding tongue-in-cheek fraternal order known as the Snowmen's League of America. Elvis performs special new comedic lyrics to the song It Hurts Me, giving a send-up to Colonel and his finagling with the producers. Executive producer Bob Finkel gives Colonel a portrait of himself as Napoleon.

'68 Special "Blue Suit" Rehearsal for Sit-Down Shows
It's too bad they didn't roll tape. Contrary to rumor and wishful thinking, no footage exists from the rehearsals Elvis did for the Black Leather Sit-Down Shows. Here's a collection of still shots.
