On March 14, 1974 Elvis performed in Murfreesboro at the Murphy Athletic Center, which belonged to the Middle Tennessee State University. Due to the fast sellout he returned on March 19th for another concert. In total the shows were seen by 25,000 people and generated 225,000 USD.

Follow That Dream Records released soundboard recordings of these concerts in 2018 on a double disc called "Murfreesboro '74". As usual the sound carriers were housed in a 5" digi-pak. Even though streaming already had surpassed the physical sales, FTD didn't release the album digitally. At the time several fans claimed, the recordings were running about 2% too slow. In my subjective perception both concerts sound ok, maybe the limitations of these kind of recordings hide such issues to a certain degree. The second show was not captured in its entirety. Unfortunately the tape ran out after 45 seconds of "Mystery Train", a song Elvis rarely performed in 1974. Bad luck.
