At the time the Greensboro Coliseum was sold out with 16,300 people, who paid 150,000 USD to see Elvis perform.

The orchestra plays an excerpt of Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra", the band takes over with the "Opening Riff" and Elvis appears on stage. He's wearing the "Royal Blue Fireworks Suit & Silver Cape". Charlie Hodge hands him his guitar and Elvis walks to the microphone.

The king opens with "See See Rider". It's performed with energy and drive.

Elvis gives his guitar back to Charlie and continues with a rockin' rendition of the well-known CCR-hit.

The country song "Never Been To Spain" fits Elvis well, especially the chorus offers a chance to show off his voice. However, the finale is not accordant to his taste, to his band he remarks "We'll get the endring right...one day".

Elvis continues with a musical soap opera called "You Gave Me A Mountain". In-between he has to laugh, but otherwise it's a serious and very good performance.

At the beginning a feedback can be heared, but then everything works fine and Elvis gives his current single a fine outing.

The ballad is followed by "Polk Salad Annie". Elvis uses the song to present some of his famous moves, at the end he lets himself fall on the floor. Jokingly he claims to stay there and look at the ceiling.

Of course he doesn't and continues the show with "Love Me". Here and there he moves over to the edge of the stage to communicate with the eager ladies.

The classic is performed short, fast, but with quite some energy.

The same applies to this medley. Elvis and his crew have the foot on the gas.

Elvis sings the rock'n'roll classic in a slow, bluesy tempo. Then he switches to high speed mode. He simply repeates the same lines over and over again, but one cannot say, that this version doesn't rock. Certainly not as much as back in 1969, but it's still presented well.

His first number one hit is delivered with a modern approach, Elvis obviously likes the song.

The king closes the oldie block of the show with "A Big Hunk O' Love". When Glen D. Hardin plays the piano solo, Elvis ironically says "That's your big chance!" and throws a glass of water on him. At least, that's what it looks like from the front. If you are seated at the side of the stage, it's quite obvious, that the king throws the water in front of his pianist.

Up next is "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The performance is pure professionalism. The choir, the orchestra, the band and the lead vocalist show off their skills. This might be the best version of the song ever.

Elvis raises the tempo with "Suspicious Minds". During the song he acknowledges the camera team two times. First he tells one of his crew members "Smile, you are on camera", then he says "They're sneakin' up on me, man", when he finds one of the camera men beween his musicians.

As usual the band starts to play the background music for the "Introductions", but their boss wants to sing "Love Me Tender". He kisses the ladies and gives a way a few scarfs. That's enough to let the fans go crazy.

Now Elvis introduces the band.

The show is continued with "For The Good Times". The tender country ballad fits Elvis well and he does a great job singing it.

With "Do Trilogy" the king orders the band to play the next song. Just like "Bridge Over Troubled Water" this one is a stunning display of musical talent.

Now the audience experiences something special. Elvis tries out a new song! It's supposed to be his next single and of course MGM wants a performance of the track in their movie. Unfortunately the king and his crew are underrehearsed, the performance is rocky and especially the ending sounds a bit chaotic. Elvis also hasn't bothered to learn the words, but opts to read them from a sheet.

While James Burton plays the opening chord of "Funny, How Time Slips Away", Elvis apologizes for the chaos and announces to sing "Release Me". It's not a regular feature of his current show, but it works well and the king obviously has fun singing it.

Elvis has the house lights switched on, so he can take a look at the audience. Then he sings the country ballad "Funny, How Time Slips Away". He jokes a bit with a member of The Sweet Inspirations and ironically explains the motive on his belt by saying "For those, who can't see back there: This is an owl" during the break before the finale. 

The king drinks a zip of Gatorade and promises to sing another song. Well, it's really just one more song. As usual he closes the show with "Can' Help Falling In Love", the band takes over with the "Closing Riff" and Elvis leave the building.
