Elvis Presley: The Complete ’68 Comeback Special 40th Anniversary Edition

This is not the Elvis that made young girls scream (although he surely made plenty of middle-aged women scream), but it's a farther cry from the Elvis that died with so much bacon fat and prescription drugs in his system that he couldn't even sustain a bowel movement. In 1968, even if only briefly, he was the King.

For those of us that were left off the guest lists, here’s a list of five venues (and one bonus) Phish should hit on its inevitable Reunion Tour…

1. Madison Square Garden, New York, NY

The world’s most famous arena has seen it all. From the Rangers winning the Stanley Cup after an eternity of heartbreak to legendary boxing matches when boxing mattered to the Knicks actually being a decent team that you could root for without feeling dirty. But as someone who grew up in the NYC area and has been to the Garden countless times for major events, I can tell you that there was no feeling like walking around and into that place on the night of a Phish show.
