As expected the instrumental opening "Also Sprach Zarathustra" wasn't taped, the recording starts when Elvis had entered the stage and collected his instrument from Charlie. The old r&b song is sung with a lot of energy, in-between something happened an the king had to keep himself from laughing.

Now Mr. Presley sings the word "well" in different pitches, which are mirrored by James Burton with his guitar. The audience is delighted, so the king remarks, that he's got it made if that was everything he's got to do. Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman" is also presented with much drive. Elvis is singing this song since the 1950s, but he's obviously never tired of it. As usual the man from Memphis adds a few bars of "Amen", which he uses to spoof some of his former trademark moves and to showcase the impressive bass voice of JD Sumner. Elvis pretends not to be satisfied by the results, so JD can produce even lower notes to amaze the crowd. With a short reprise of "I Got A Woman" the king throws his guitar back to Charlie and introduces himself as Wayne Newton. He also promises to walk around, kiss people and give away some scarfs. So he's fully aware of the fact, that nobody came to actually hear him sing. It's all about worshipping an idol.

As promised Elvis uses "Love Me" to give away some scarfs. After he's finished the song, he even promises to make the rounds and hand out more.

But thankfully Mr. Presley also came to sing. The old SUN classic "Trying To Get To You" is performed with zest and Elvis belts out the chorus in really impressive style. Boy, he can sing when he gets the motor running!

The following "All Shook Up" is also presented very well.

With "Love Me Tender" Elvis returns to the fooling around. He kisses several women and hands out scarfs. Musically there's nothing to write home about, but he's obviously giving the people what they are expecting.

Now the king lets his pianist wait, so Glen D. Harin toys around with the intro. Right after the start Elvis kisses another woman, but then he gets serious and performs the power-ballad in impressive style.

Instead of the worn-out "Hound Dog" the former rock'n'roll king decides to do the Chuck Berry classic "Johnny B. Goode". He doesn't perform it as wild as back in 1969, but still very good. James Burton adds some great licks and almost effortlessly proves, why he's considered to be one of the best guitarists in the business. In general today's rendition of "Johnny B. Goode" is much better than what Presley delivered last year during his "Aloha From Hawaii" television concert.

Unfortunately "Hound Dog" was just postponed. As usual Elvis simply repeats the same four lines over and over again, but at least he invests some energy. When the song is ended without the stupid butt-shaking, the king picks it up again to catch up on the silly procedure. 

Up next is "Fever", to which the king moves his legs to the beat and drives the ladies over the edge. Today he fools around with the words, singing "Captain Smith poked just honeys" (instead of "Captain Smith and Pocahontas") and "you give me acne" (instead of "you give me fever"). Not the smartest kind of humor, but he's obviously meeting the taste of the audience.

The swamp rocker "Polk Salad Annie" always is a highlight of the Presley show, but today the king even gives a bit more and presents a really tight and rockin' performance. Of course he also does some karate moves. Afterwards Elvis flirts with a very eager female and jokingly asks his technician to kill the lights.

Now JD Sumner gets another opportunity to shine. He takes over the lead vocals and his Stamps Quartet sing the chorus. The gospel group is joined by Elvis, who obviously enjoys the performance.

In a somewhat rare move the king announces "This Time You Gave Me A Mountain". It's surprising to hear him do the dramatic power ballad, because he has combed it out after the previous years' "Elvis Summer Festival" in Las Vegas. Apparently it's a planned performance, because the band, the harmony singers and the Al Tronti Orchestra are prepared. It's a very good rendition of the song, so it's good to have it back on the program.

Of course "Suspicious Minds" is anything but a surprise, it's a standard of the king's concerts since 1969. Today's incarnation is much better than what was presented on television last year. Elvis invests more energy and the band also appears to perform more tight.

Before singing another song, the king takes a minute or two to introduce his stage crew.

Asking "You know, what I can't do?" Elvis segues into "I Can't Stop Loving You". During the first part the king jokes around a bit, but then he gets serious and vocally impressive.

Instead of his new record "Help Me" Elvis now wants to sing "I'm Leavin'", which has been released three years ago on a not too successfull single. Once again it comes as a surprise to the audience, but as everybody knows their parts it certainly was planned. It's a great song and the performance leaves nothing to be desired.

Up next is Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water". As expected Elvis offers a truely impressive performance and the same can be said about his stage crew. The band, the singers and the orchestra, they are all excellent. The audience is overwhelmed and spends enthusiastic applause.

The country pop "Let Me Be There" may be not as impressive as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" or "I'm Leavin'", but it's certainly a nice song and Elvis' joy of performing it cannot be overlooked.

As he has done five days ago, Elvis sings his 1970 top10-hit "The Wonder Of You". It's not as good as on the record, but still very enjoyable and the grande finale is nothing but impressive.

The king raises the tempo with a zesty rendition of "Big Boss Man".

Once again Elvis wants to do "Funny, How Time Slips Away", but this time it's not unexpected and the performance works right from the start. Unfortunately the tape ran out in mid-performance, so the ending of the country ballad as well as the following closing song "Can't Help Falling In Love" are missing.
