I eventually went to Woodstock, the Monterey Festival, Altamont and did the Manson story for Rolling Stone so to cover Elvis' first live show in many years was a must see for me. Elvis was still a huge idol. We saw him as a god. It was a quasi-religious experience. It was one of those wonderful symbiotic events where the audience and the star are both creating a combined energy field. Elvis was getting off on it. It was like some sort of a strange play starring this kid from Tupelo, Mississippi who was made King. That show was a really ecstatic event for me to witness. Much of the audience was the same age as him but Elvis seemed ageless, almost like a folk hero.

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I eventually went to Woodstock, the Monterey Festival, Altamont and did the Manson story for Rolling Stone so to cover Elvis' first live show in many years was a must see for me.

Much of the audience was the same age as him but Elvis seemed ageless, almost like a folk hero." in the context of "David Dalton, covering Elvis first show at the International Hotel in Las Vegas on 31 July 1969, for Rolling Stone the magazine whose editorship he had headed two years earlier when he was barely 22 years old." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
