Elvis Presley
Stagger Lee
That's The way It Is documentary — 1970
Elvis Presley performed Stagger Lee during a rehearsal session on July 15, 1970, at the MGM Sound Stage in Culver City, California. This rendition was not part of his regular live performances but was captured during preparatory sessions for his Las Vegas Summer Festival later that year. It offers a glimpse of his informal and versatile approach during rehearsals.
This recording was included in the compilation album Summer Festival 1970: The Rehearsals, a 3-CD deluxe set released by MRS, showcasing restored and remastered rehearsal recordings. The album features numerous songs from these sessions, demonstrating Elvis's creative process and interactions with his band during this period
