With the second disc we jump two days ahead. During the midnight show on August 29th Elvis also wore a leather outfit, this time the Leather Two Piece Sequin Suit".

The recording starts with "See See Rider", the usual introduction "Also Sprach Zarathustra" wasn't taped. Elvis presents a lively rendition of his usual opener, afterwards he greets the fans by saying "You sound like a great audience, good evening".

After a few "wells" the king performs the Ray Charles classic "I Got A Woman". In-between Elvis has to laugh. Once again JD Sumner is allowed to demonstrate his bass voice twice at the end of "Amen". Elvis returns to "I Got A Woman" and gives his guitar to Charlie Hodge. This time the king introduces himself as Wayne Newton and hopes to do something, that the people like. But before he does so, he talkes about Gatorade (his drink) and several other things. He sounds a tad hyped up.

Elvis presents the ballad as usual, but then he's given a toy-dog, that walks around on stage. "That's great. You should have waited until I did Hound Dog and put him out there" he says and asks "Is that all that this son-o-a-bitch does?"

The cover version of Olivia Newton-John's country hit works well, Elvis certainly is enjoying the performance.

The same applies here. "It's Midnight" is presented very well, the king's voice sounds great and he sings with a lot of feeling.

"Big Boss Man" rocks along nicely, once again Elvis has to laugh in mid-song. This time he even apologizes to the audience by saying "If you see us get tickled a lot of times we break up here on stage with each other having fun".  

Just like two days before the king jokes around, but today it's a little too much of talking. Of course that doesn't keep the fans from loving every second of it.

The title song of Elvis' first movie is used to kiss the ladies and to hand out scarfs. It's not about the music, it's about the experience of getting near the idol.

The king continues to hand out scarfs, but the performance is rushed and presented in absolute energy saving mode. Afterwards Elvis explains, that the ladies have to wait for their turns to get a scarf and a kiss and he lauds their partners for accepting this part of the show.

Instead of the usual "I'm Leavin'" the king opts to sing "Until It's Time For You To Go". In mid-song he suddenly forgets the words and angrily snapps to Charlie "Give me the words to this son-of-a-bitch". This unforseen, abrupt mood swing is somewhat shocking.

Fortunately the sad ballad is performed without such incidents. It's a very good presentation by any means.

Once again Elvis is talking much more than on August 27th and takes some time to introduce "Hound Dog". Of course that doesn't mean, he's investing any more energy. I still don't know, if "All Shook Up" or "Hound Dog" is the worst performance of the current show. What I do know for sure is, that the fans don't care about the quality of their idols presentations. They love them all.

The second change of the setlist is the substitution of "You Gave Me A Mountain" with "An American Trilogy". When the choir sings "I wish I was in Dixie", Elvis jokes, that he wished that, too. Otherwise it's a serious and partly even impressive performance. 

Instead of "Polk Salad Annie" the king announces "Suspicious Minds". It is a request from Dean Nichopoulos, whom Elvis introduces as "a friend from Memphis I play racketball with". It's a routine performance, Elvis moves a bit, but not nearly as much as back in 1969/70.

As expected, the introductions of the band are padded out even more tonight. Elvis tells the audience about sneaking in the showroom and painting one of the cherubs black. He appears to be proud like a kid about his property damage. The king also introduces Dr. Ghanem (who was always fast to prescribe some heavy stuff) and Sheila Ryan. Elvis openly calls her his girlfriend, even though he's still living with Linda Thompson. WTF?!?

However, "If You Talk In Your Sleep" get's a straight and funky performance. Afterwards Elvis talks about karate for 6 (!) minutes. I cannot say, that it is boring, but somehow I don't think that a monologue about his hobby belongs in a concert.

Now JD Sumner takes over the lead vocals and Elvis just joins The Stamps for the chorus. Unfortunately the recording is faded after a minute or so.

Once again the hit medley isn't performed well. Elvis hands out scarfs by the dozen, but that's about it. The songs are rushed and the king's vocals are poor.

In contrast to the previous track Elvis gives his all and presents a vocally impressive and touching rendition of the classic hymn. If he wants to, the man from Memphis is as great as ever!

Now the king switches genres and performs another country-pop tune. Once again it's a cover version of a hit by Olivia Newton-John and his rendition proves, that he really likes the music of the lady. Afterwards Elvis asks, how long he's been on stage and explains "The hotel doesn't like me to be on longer than 55 minutes to an hour. But as long as you enjoy it we'll stay on along as we can". Of course the fans love stuff like that and applaude enthusiastically.

Elvis announces the next song to be a request from Vicky Carr, who was a popular singer and actress at the time. In contrast to many other oldies the king sings "It's Now Or Never" really well.

Staying with his material from the early 1960s Elvis continues with a lovely rendition of "The Hawaiian Wedding Song". But before closing the show, he obviously feels the urge to explain, that he was sick for a day and had missed two shows. Unfortunately things get somewhat out of hand, because he suddenly has a very angry subtone in his voice when he tells the people "Things you read about in movie magazines about me are usually junk, really. They don't know anything about me and makes things up and if I did one-tenth of the things they say I did I could not wear that karate belt. I could not do this show, I could not appear in public. The reason I'm telling you that is because this is where I love to be, I don't like to miss shows. This is my life-blood". It's not as outrageous as several days later during his closing show, but still it leaves a disturbing impression.

His anger disappears as quickly as it emerged and the king presents a focused rendition of "Can't Help Falling In Love".
