Mongo's history lesson: On this day in history, June 26, 1977, Elvis Presley held his final concert in Indianapolis, Indiana at Market Square Arena.
The concert began at 8:30 p.m., but Elvis didn't perform until 10 p.m.; warm-up acts of brass bands, soul singers, and a comedian filled time before the King. Then for about 80 minutes, Elvis sang both his classic tunes like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog," and his more somber numbers, like "Hurt" and a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water." He closed the concert with "Can't Help Falling in Love with You," one of his most poignant ballads.
After the concert, Elvis took a break from touring and returned home to Graceland. Nearly six weeks after his Indianapolis concert, Elvis died in his home on August 16, 1977 from heart failure, likely caused by years of prescription drug abuse.
