BLAST FROM THE PAST: ARTICLE FROM TUSCALOOSA NEWS-AUGUST 17, 1970

I found this incredibly rare news article from 1970 in an (AL) newspaper about Elvis' concert tour scheduled for that year. Hope you enjoy it.


ELVIS PRESLEY IS PLANNING EXTENDED TOUR
Tuscaloosa News-August 17, 1970

MEMPHIS (AP) Memphis entertainer Elvis Presley is planning his first personal appearance tour since 1958, the Commercial Appeal reports.

In a dispatch from reporter James Kingsley in Las Vegas, the newspaper said Presley plans appearances in Phoenix on Sept. 9; Detroit on Sept. 10; Miami on Sept. 11; Mobile on Sept. 12; Tampa on Sept. 13; and St Louis on Sept. 14.

Presley is currently setting attendance records at a Las Vegas hotel where his appearances will continue until Sept. 7.
