After having missed the previous days' concert, Elvis is back in business for the dinner show on August 27th. He's wearing the "Leather Two Piece Suit Plain", the one, which was given to him by his cousin.

The engineer didn't record "Also Sprach Zarathustra", so we have to do without the opening and jump straight into "See See Rider". It's a fast paced version, the king appears to be in fine form.

Elvis toys with the word "well" and jokes a bit with the fans and the musicians. Then he segues into "I Got A Woman", of course with the usual "Amen" tag. It's another good performance, JD Sumner gets to demonstrate his bass-voice twice and is labled by his boss as "the original deep throat". It's a reference to a movie called "Deep Throat", which had been released two years earlier. It was the first hardcore porn movie shown in regular cinemas and back then it had caused a lot of stirr. After a short return to "I Got A Woman" Elvis throws his guitar to Charlie Hodge, introduces himself as Engelbert Humperdinck and explains, that he'd been sick the previous day.

The ballad is performed the usual way, even though the king isn't all that focused.

In contrast to the oldie Elvis sings this country pop very well. He obviously likes this kind of music.

Up next is "It's Midnight", the king's latest single. He puts a lot of emotion in his performance. A real highlight.

Now Elvis raises the tempo and presents a rockin' version of his 1967 single "Big Boss Man".

The oldie is used to joke a bit. Instead of "you give me fever" the king sings "you give me acne" and he obviously has fun by driving the ladies wild just by moving his legs.

Now Elvis goes a step further. Instead of just moving his body, he gives away some scarfs (which he had worn for a few seconds) and kisses some females.

The mega seller from 1957 is presented in highspeed mode. Unfortunately the king doesn't care at all for the song and invests as little energy as possible. It's a sorry performance by any means, but the fans love it anyway.

Elvis quickly demonstrates, that he can do much better. Here the king pays attention to the details and sings with a lot of emotion. It's a real highlight and certainly an unexpected one after "All Shook Up".

Elvis hands over the lead vocals to Sherrill Nielsen and recites the lyrics. Afterwards the king says "It's one of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heared" and after such a great performance it's not hard to believe him.

Before he sings another song, Elvis wants to talk to the audience. He tells them about the band-aids on his fingers and even a cross-eyed bear in the Memphis Zoo. In total it's a strange, out of place and over-long monologue. Unfortunately his performance of "Hound Dog" doesn't make up for the interlude. Elvis just mumbles the same few lines over and over again and obviously doesn't care about the song at all. But once again the audience recognizes the tune and is happy to see their idol performing it.

Thankfully the master gets back to business. The power ballad is presented with emotion and when Elvis belts out the chorus, it's quite impressive.

Compared to his earlier renditions of the song, the king doesn't move all that much anymore. However, he still dances around a bit and displays some karate figures at the end of his performance. Having done a knee-bend (which is certainly not half as easy as it looks) he seems to be glad, that his pants held up and asks, who had made the suit.

Elvis takes a lot of time to introduce the band, tells the audience about how he met JD Sumner when he was 16, etc. It isn't really boring, but I certainly prefer the quicker introductions of the previous years.

His next to last single "If You Talk In Your Sleep" is done very well. Elvis includes some karate moves, which makes the funky track even more interesting. Of course, not when listening to it at home. But to those, who where present that night, it must have been a great presentation.

Now JD Sumner takes over the lead vocals and Elvis just joins The Stamps for the chorus. As usual by now, he tries to crack Mr. Sumner up with some jokes. It's not a sincere performance at all, but nevertheless it's nice to see the interaction between JD and Elvis. Afterwards the king tells the fans about a recent telethon. JD Sumner & The Stamps were performing and he called in and offered to donate 1,000 USD if they threw the minister in the pool. Being crazy guys themselves, the singers grabed the preacher and threw him in!

After this little story Elvis sings a medley of "Teddy Bear" and "Don't Be Cruel". Once again he doesn't try to hide his boredom and delivers a piss-poor performance. Of course he gets away with it. It's Elvis, he's throwing scarfs in the audience and shakes some hands.

The king continues with another one of his greatest hits (his greatest, to be exact), but this time he sings it well.

The same applies here. Elvis delivers a tender rendition of this movie ballad, especially the finale, on which he duets with Kathy Westmoreland, is a highlight.

Elvis raises the tempo with another country-pop tune. The king obviously feels at home singing material like this and his performance bounces along nicely.

Before finishing the show with the usual "Can't Help Falling In Love", Elvis tells the audience, that he was ready to perform the previous day, but his doctors adviced him not to do so. He also claims, that he had missed no more than five concerts in 19 years due to illness. The obviously false assertion is followed by a routine performance of his usual closer. The "Closing Riff" is faded after a few bars.
