February 28th in Elvis History

It's February 28, and on this day in 1970… Elvis Presley performed not one, but two shows at the Houston Astrodome as part of the Annual Texas Livestock Show. The evening performance drew a staggering 43,614 people—setting a new record for indoor rodeo attendance. The crowd’s enthusiasm echoed through the massive dome as the King brought rock and roll swagger to cowboy country. Meanwhile, Priscilla flew in for the following day’s show, as rumors of trouble in their marriage swirled in the press.
