The second disc contains the midnight show from February 21st, so Elvis had performed more than 50 concerts in the past four weeks and was just four shows away from his well deserved break. This time the concert was recorded from A to Z, the audio is about the same as on the first cd.

After the pre-show and a break the lights are dimmed and the orchestra starts to play the "Einleitung, oder Sonnenaufgang" from Richard Strauss' opus "Also Sprach Zarathustra". The band takes over with the "Opening Riff" and the man from Memphis appears on stage. Charlie Hodge hands him his guitar and Elvis walks over to the microphone.

Meanwhile the band has segued into "See See Rider", the performance is comparable to the one on the first disc. It's a somewhat subdued rendition.

Today Elvis spends more time to goof around with the word "well". Suddenly a lady screams in delight and the king remarks, that he's obviously made it, if that's all he had to do. During "I Got A Woman" Elvis sings some parts quite low, at the end of "Amen" he showcases the bass voice of J. D. Sumner. I know, that he admires him ever since his teenage years, but it takes away some of the pace. Finally the king returns to "I Got A Woman" and throws his guitar to Mr. Hodge.

Instead of his previous years' single "Until It's Time For You To Go" Elvis sings the oldie "Love Me Tender". He appears to be kissing more ladies and interacting more with the crowd than on January 27th. The king also alters the lyrics and salaciously sings "For my darling I love you, 'cause you take the pill".

At the beginning Elvis is fooling around a bit, but he soon gets serious and presents a solid version of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me".

With a cool "Take it on!" the singer cues his band to start the "Steamroller Blues". It's played faster than earlier this season and Elvis also doesn't experiment with the track. It's a straight and very good rendition of his forthcoming single. Of course he doesn't mention this fact, as usual he leaves the promotion to Colonel Parker and RCA.

The musical soap opera is presented in grand style, albeit not as emotional and impressive as in his recent movie "Elvis On Tour".

Compared to the concert on January 27th the singer moves much more and also acts looser. He can't help to make some funny remarks here and there and the audience also appears to be louder.

Now Elvis jokingly announces a medley of Polish folk songs and fools around with some fans. Of course he uses "Love Me" to give away some scarfs.

With a performance like this Elvis would have never earned the status of a rock'n'roll king, but compared to the rendition on the first disc he puts a little more effort into the presentation. In general the man appears to be more lively and relaxed.

On January 27th the king has continued with "Love Me Tender" and "Johnny B. Goode". Because he had performed the title song of his first movie earlier in the show, he performs "I'm Leavin'". The Chuck Berry tune is simply omitted. For my taste "I'm Leavin'" doesn't fit in here, because it's the oldies section and Elvis has released the ballad just two years ago. However, it's a great performance. The song is hard to sing, but Presley masters it perfectly.

Elvis makes fun of his by now classic performance on "The Ed Sullivan" show and jokingly claims to have been filmed from the nose up (of course it was from the waist up). The rendition itself is nothing to write home about. It's fairly entertaining, but the king doesn't invest too much energy. To him "Hound Dog" seems to be nothing but a curiosity from the past.

"I'd like to get serious for just a moment" announces Elvis, but only to goof around with the beginning of "What Now My Love". However, the second attempt is a serious rendition for real and I guess, I don't have to say that it's an excellent one.

His 1969 sales smash doesn't work out as it should. First the singer complains about a feedback, during the bridge he messes up the timing. In-between he's fooling around with the femals at the edge of the stage, at the end he does a little bit of karate. OK, most of the stuff is quite entertaining, but I would have liked performances in the style of 1969/1970 better.

Now Elvis takes a minute or two to introduce his musicians. He also welcomes the comedian and actor Marty Allen, who is sitting in the audience tonight.

In contrast to the other songs this one gets a real introduction. Elvis tells the crowd, that "I'll Remember You" was made popular by Don Ho and that he had performed it recently during a charity event. Of course the king is referring to the television special "Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite", whose soundtrack already is available and which will be aired in the US in April this year. The song is presented very well, without doubt "I'll Remember You" is one of the highlights of Elvis' current live show.

Elvis says "There's one thing I can't do, Jack" and segues into "I Can't Stop Loving You". His performance is much livelier than on January 27th and he toys around extensively with the final "yesterday".

James Burton plays the opening-chord of "An American Trilogy", but his boss is busy with some fans. His performance is less focused and serious than the one on the first disc of this set, today he substitutes "Dixiland" with "Disneyland" and appears to have trouble not to laugh at his own joke. Nevertheless his vocals are nothing but impressive.

Unfortunately Elvis doesn't sing "Burning Love", but bows out with the announcement of a song from "Blue Hawaii". The show ends with the typical "Can't Help Falling In Love", performed the usual way. The band segues into the "Closing Riff" and the star vanishes behind the golden curtain.
