Back in 1977 my housemates & I made a point to watch that particular SNL show (still lived in Raleigh, NC) because of course we were expecting to see The Sex Pistols, but I for one was bowled over by the UK Elvis. There's some stuff in this story which I'd never known, such as where he'd gotten the idea for switching songs midstream.

The original SNL video is linked in the story, as is his return appearance, and also linked is a video of EC's inspiration.
