The midnight show from August 12th is known from the 30th anniversary edition of "That's The Way It Is". Back in 2000 the German Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), at the time the copyright holder of the king's recordings, issued a boxed set of three compact discs with the original album, an edited version of this concert and a compilation of rehearsals. The 2014 incarnation of "That's The Way It Is" features the complete show in remixed and remastered form.

Just like a few hours earlier, the king enters the stage to the sounds of the "Opening Riff", gets his guitar from Charlie and starts the show with a powerful rendition of "That's All Right". For this show he wears the "White Chain Suit".

Instead of the regular "I Got A Woman" the king performs a rousing version of the "Mystery Train" / "Tiger Man" medley.

Jokingly Elvis introduces himself as Fats Domino and intones a line of "Blueberry Hill". Then he segues into his own mega seller "Hound Dog". Once again it's a very energetic rendition, even though the king does nothing more than to repeat the same four lines over and over again.

After giving his instrument back to Charlie and cracking a few jokes Elvis sings "Love Me Tender". Actually he kisses so many ladies, that he's barely able to sing. Listening to an audio recording of the procedure several dacades later is a boring affair. But in the Showroom Internationale it was a big event when the star suddenly kissed some of his fans.

Now the king switches from the oldies to the newer material. "Just Pretend" isn't even released yet, according to Elvis this would happen in 1979 (remember, the concert was recorded in 1970). Today he includes a litte joke and giggles histerically after having sung "oh, it's funny". Otherwise it's a serious and also impressive performance.

From his current longplayer "On Stage - February 1970" the king performs "Walk A Mile In My Shoes". In contrast to the previous day he leaves out the "Men With Broken Hearts" introduction. Once again it's a very good presentation.

The king tells the audience, that he has just recorded a country & western album....under the name of Glen Campbell. Then he says, that the following song was one of his favorites, before he jokingly admits not to know the tune at all. Obviously the guy is in great mood today!  The following performance of "There Goes My Everything" isn't as serious as the one on August 11th, but it's certainly entertaining.

After mentioning the current movie project and goofing around a bit, the king presents a cover version of the Bee Gees' hit "Words". The fans know the Presley version from previous years' album "From Memphis To Vegas / From Vegas To Memphis". Compared to the recorded performance the arrangement has been changed a bit. It's a very good rendition of this lovely popsong.

Returning to his current live album the king sings "Sweet Caroline". Once again the arrangement differs, this time mostly due to the fact, that Ronny Tutt's style of drumming is a tad more complex than the one of Bob Lanning, who was doing the job when "On Stage - February 1970" was recorded.

Well, this is the ultimate highlight of the show. Elvis doesn't just sing the song, he lives it. He's so full of power and emotion, it's almost unbelievable. He even repeats the final part of the song and his harmony singes spontaneously answer him in gospelesque call & response style. Great! Great! Great!

Someone is yelling for "Suspicious Minds" and the king promises to sing it later - just like all other 482 songs he recorded. One of them is "Polk Salad Annie", which once again is turned into a wild lesson of Body English.

More requests are shouted into the showroom, on of them is his penultimate single "The Wonder Of You". But the man from Memphis is completely out of breath and introduces his band instead of singing another song.

Now Elvis switches back to the good ole' days and sings "Heartbreak Hotel", his first national number one hit.

He follows with his 1958 smash hit "One Night". Compared to yesterdays' show the r&b tune is played a tad slower, which I like very much.

The king wants to hear an a-chord and goes straight into "Blue Suede Shoes". Today he doesn't present the usual, fast version, but asks James Burton for a guitar solo. It's fast, it's rockin' and it's fun. Elvis really is on fire tonight!

Spontaneously he starts to sing "All Shook Up" and it takes just a second or so until the band joins in.

Elvis asks for a chair and Charlie Hodge also hands him an electric guitar. The situation is quite similar to his first shows at the International Hotel, were he also included a guitar session. While he's getting ready, a lady asks for him to come over. Referring to his audience walks he answers "Honey, I wouldn't come out there again for a looooot of money". Then he announces to play "Little Sister", one of his hits from 1961. Elvis himself provides the rhythm, the well-known licks are played by the one and only James Burton. Suddenly the king switches to The Beatles' "Get Back". The songs fit surprisingly well. It seems Elvis enjoys to switch back and forth between the songs, just to see if his band is able to follow. Of course they are and it's very entertaining to watch the scene.

Spontaneously Elvis starts to sing "I Was The One", but admits, that he doesn't know it. It's not a full blown performance, but the king and his crew present a part of the ballad.

The classic "Love Me" has been sung before during this engagement. Therefore the performance works well.

Now Elvis moves on to "Are You Lonesome Tonight", one of his biggest hit. He doesn't take it all too seriously, jokes around and sings "Do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair" instead of "Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there". Finally the king ends the song before the bridge. I guess it wasn't properly rehearsed and Elvis just wants to have some fun with it. It's not a serious performance, but certainly a very entertaining one!

The king gives his guitar back to Charlie Hodge, who also takes away the chair. With "Bridge Over Troubled Water" the king returns to his regular show and once again impresses the audience with stunning vocals.

As promised Elvis now performs "Suspicious Minds". It's a rousing presentation and he moves like an athlete. Elvis also once again scares one of the ladies of The Sweet Inspirations. She obviously knows what he wants to do, but cringes anyway. The other ladies are amused and have to laugh. It's great to see the group having so much fun.

Completely out of breath Elvis bows out with a few words and sings "Can't Help Falling In Love". The curtain comes down and the king has time to recuperate until 9 pm.
