Concert: This is another knockout show from Elvis (actually all the Asheville shows in 1975 were great shows). The unique setlist and high energy performances by Elvis made songs from this show being bootlegged quite often.

"Turn Around Look At Me" is the only known full rendition of this song - bootlegged many times since early vinyl ! The very same goes for Shake A Hand which he did again in 1976.
Promised Land  is a kind of encore since we find it - quite unusual - at the end of the show !
The Wonder Of You was dusted off by Elvis for the 1975 tour after being removed for quite some time.
A powerhouse performance of Elvis with no weak spot. One of the best setlists ever. Marvelous !!
