Post Description

With this televised concert, Elvis let the world know that the days of the angry young man are over, replaced by a mature, confident musician doing what he loves, not caring if it's the flavor of the week or not.
He still rocks when he feels like it, and he does for a decent portion of the show with the Attractions. (This video becomes an instant classic by virtue of it being the last time EC would be [legally] recorded with his famous backup band). Watching the Detectives and Riot Act are given classic renditions, and the latter-day material, like Little Atoms, is handled nimbly.

But when Elvis releases the Attractions, and starts playing with other artists, it becomes apparent that this show is just as much a statement as it is a great show. We may still get another great rock record from him in the future, but with this show, he makes it clear that he's being led by his own muses from now on. So far, the results have been good: the songs done with the Brodsky Quartet should whet people's appetites enough to try out "The Juliet Letters", the great, underrated album they released together in 1993. (This show came before he released the "Painted From Memory" album with Burt Bacharach, but count me among those who pronounce that album a triumph as well...) 

Overall, there's an indulgent air to the whole proceedings, as he switches from combo to combo, and ends the show with a combined orchestra, appearing to have the time of his life throughout. But Elvis isn't really a self-indulgent artist, which makes this video a little surprising. But it's still a solid show, where EC fans of all configurations will find something to chew on...
