Due to the huge demand Elvis agreed to do an additional concert on September 2nd at 3:00 am in the morning. The day before he had performed the usual dinner- and midnight-show, so this was the third time in a row the king went on stage. As usual the orchestra playes "Also Sprach Zarathustra", the band takes over with the "Opening Riff", but this time Elvis is carried on stage by Lamar Fike and has a toy monkey attached to the collar of his jumpsuit!

Elvis has to laugh, because it's quite hard to sling on a guitar with a plush animal on your shoulders. After having finished the song, the king mentions, that the guy, who carried him, was Lamar Fike. He obviously thinks, that Lamar is appearing on stage again, but he doesn't. Because Mr. Fike is the one, who handles the light, Elvis suspects, that he's already up in the rafters again.

The usual "well-well-well"-routine and the start of the song don't work out today, because everyone still has to laugh about the situation. It's not a serious rendition of the Ray Charles classic, but certainly an entertaining one. As usual Elvis includes a bit of "Amen" and offers JD Sumner an opportunity to demonstrate his bass voice. Finally the king removes his guitar and the ape and greets the crowd with "Good morning...evening...whatever it is". Jokingly he adds "We hope you enjoy our show this afternoon". Elvis also teases Mr. Sumner by praising his efforts - considering his high age and the late hour.

The old ballad gets the usual treatment, but the ladies go wild when the king throws a scarf into the audience.

Elvis follows with an energetic performance of "Steamroller Blues".

The power ballad is also delivered very well. The king makes full use of his voice and sounds nothing but great.

After two recent tracks Elvis moves to the 1950s again and presents a song from his movie "King Creole". James Burton plays a great solo, Elvis switches to falsetto voice when he sings the word "mysery". Great stuff.

Leaving out the usual "Blue Suede Shoes" the king continues with his medley of Rock'n'Roll songs. Jokingly he changes the lyrics of "Long Tall Sally" and substitutes Sally and uncle John with Charlie Hodge and JD Sumner.

Of course Elvis uses the movie tune to hand out scarfs and kiss some lucky ladies. "A tough way to make a living" he quips. When Charlie Hodge hands him a white scarf, Elvis refuses to take it and wants a blue one instead. But I am pretty sure, none of the ladies is choosy when it comes to receiving a personal souvenir from the king.

Elvis says "OK, let's do this other silly song" whereupon Emory Gordy starts the bass into of "Fever". The king gets the ladies going simply by moving his legs. It visibly amuses him and he jocosely explains "They pay me to do this stuff". For good measure Elvis also includes a few lines of "Polk Salad Annie".

According to the set list "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is up next, but the king thinks, it's too early in the moring to sing this song. The audience applaudes, because they want to hear the Simon & Garfunkel hit. But Elvis is serious and tells them "I'm running this damn show, I do what I want". It's not a serious performance at all. The line "...turning my dreams into ashes" is changed to "...into asses" and when he sings "...here come the stars, tumbling around me" he tumbles and falls on the floor!  Afterwards he apologizes for having ruined this beautiful song and showers Charlie Hodge with water! 

His number one hit from 1969 also doesn't get a serious outing. He jokes with The Sweet Inspirations, changes the lyrics to "I hope the suit don't tear up, baby" while performing a knee bend and sings "Don't let a good show die". He certainly doesn't need to worry, it's a very entertaining performance!

Maybe Elvis really thinks, that he fools around too much, because the "Introductions" are short and straight. Of course the singer doesn't forget to mention the presence of The British Elvis Presley Fanclub, which is met with delight.

Usually "My Boy" is performed after the "Introductions", but Elvis leaves it out and continues with "Release Me". Well, it's his third show in a row and I guess he wants to shorten it a bit. During the intro the king prompts the orchestra to "drop the arrangement" and indeed, the song sounds different compared to the version on the first disc of this set. Elvis uses the song to make contact to the audience and also teases his conductor by continuing the line "I have found a new love, dear" with "...and I can't help if Guercio's queer".

Before presenting "An American Trilogy" the king instructs his light man not to project the American flag onto the wall, because the song speaks for itself. Then he sings a serious and vocally impressive version of this patriotic song. "An American Trilogy" makes full use of the orchestra, the harmony singers and the band. It's a display of pure professionalism.

For a second Elvis doesn't seem to be sure what to sing next, but then he says "OK, let's do...ah...Mystery Train". Within a second the band starts to play and especially "Tiger Man" is used by the king to showcase a few of his famous moves.

Elvis now announces one of his favorite songs and sings "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Just like "An American Trilogy" this is a serious performance, which display the talents of the orchestra, the choir, the band and of course the lead vocalist.

The power ballad is followed by a song of similar make, but this time it's a gospel hymn. Once again the presentation is impressive!

Elvis bows out with a few words and sings his usual closer "Can't Help Falling In Love". The band segues into the "Closing Riff" and Lamar Fike appears on stage again. Elvis jumps on his back and leaves the showroom just like he had entered it an hour earlier.
