Concert: A powerhouse performance that our man delivered here in his hometown Memphis. The best show of this tour, probably one of the best of the whole year. Elvis was in top notch condition vocally and the songs were performed with passion and joy. We hear brilliant versions of America, The Beautiful, That's All Right, My Way or Hurt. Excellent !!!

The Toledo concert 9 months later features Elvis at a low point of his career. A boring show with no highlights and Elvis sounding quite indifferent. The sparkle had gone.

Concert: Elvis was in good voice and in a great mood that night , as is evidenced by his humorous remarks and his excellent performance.
One of the highlights is a dynamite version of "Burning Love" and for the 'one-liner freaks' amongst you there's a one-liner of "Alfie" !
All in all one of the best shows of this tour with almost no weak spot.

Notes: Truly one of the most unique moments of Elvis' life ever captured on tape. Apparently the tabloids printed a story about Elvis being a heroin addict , and Elvis took offense to the story in a BIG way. Usually a closing engagement show is a special thing , with a lot of celebrities in the crowd , a longer setlist, Elvis in a great mood, etc. Certainly there are some interesting song choices here, but the most interesting moments occur on disc 2 with the infamous "Drug Monologue".

The sound engineer didn't record "2001", "See See Rider" and part of "I Got A Woman"; he also cut out Voice performing a beautiful song titled "I Can't Live Without you".

"Bringing It Back" and "Aubrey" are performed by Voice

A lot of celebrities in the audience , to include Priscilla (of whom Elvis talks about the car gift-exchange for the holidays) , Elvis' current girlfriend Shiela Ryan and others.

The only show on tape where Elvis performed two full versions of "It's Now Or Never"

The "Drug Monologue" gets pretty graphic in language and Elvis tries to contain his fury but can't; it is obvious that he is very upset about the tabloid , and even seguing into "Hawaiian Wedding Song" he still can't calm down enough until midway through the song.

Concert: Even though the show is marred by Elvis' temper , it is still a high energy show and surprisingly good and is a fairly long show. The crowd definitely got their money's worth that evening !
