Today, rock'n'roller Des
Rocs joins me for our first ever episode on the King
himself, Elvis Presley, as we get into it on the
1972 live album 'Prince from Another Planet'.
We talk about how the album captures Elvis between his two iconic
eras, how he existed apart from both the rock era he inspired and
the pop that came before him, the frenetic rearrangements of his
classic songs, his choice to include contemporary covers in the
set, his uneasy history with New York prior to these shows, Elvis's
future if he hadn't died when he did, the influence on Des's music
and performance style and his other favorite live albums.
