The recording starts right after the opening. Elvis has given his guitar back to his assistant and talks to the audience. He also turns around, which causes a loud reaction from the people, who are sitting on the backside of the stage. The oldie "Love Me" is performed the usual way. Today someone throws a piece of lingerie on the stage. Elvis hands it over to JD Sumner, because the color of the slip matches his outfit.

Up next is a cover version of Olivia Newton-John's hit "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)". Mr. Presley obviously likes the country pop very much and delivers a zesty performance.

The announcement of "Love Me Tender" is enough to drive the ladies wild. Their enthusiasm even increases, when Elvis starts to hand out scarfs and to kiss a few lucky ones. 

After a flirt with a woman at the edge of the stage the king performs a short version of "All Shook Up". Throughout the song he keeps up the contact with the fans, but doesn't invest too much energy in his singing.

The same applies here.

Elvis still can't do without fooling around, but at least he's focused on the music again. It's noticeable, that he doesn't sing as accurately as he did in Honolulu two years ago.

The king continues with a track from his penultimate album "Promised Land". Here his vocals are right on the spot, without doubt this is is best performance so far.

Elvis stays with religious material and presents the gospel hymn "How Great Thou Art". Usually the Presley band doesn't make mistakes, but today the timing between the singer and the orchestra is off. Besides that, the king's voice almost cracks when he emotionally belts out "Oh my God, how great thou art". However, apart from these glitches it's an impressive performance.

The introduction of the singers and musicians takes quite a while. There are too many solos and other time-killers.

Up next is "My Boy", the king's penultimate single. He delivers a heartfelt and vocally impressive performance of the dramatic ballad. If he wants to, Elvis can sing as good as ever.

His recent slothfulness is displayed here. The king hasn't bothered to learn the words and has to read them from a sheet. Of course the fans don't care, but a professional should be prepared. Despite using a lyric sheet, Elvis mumbles away some of the words and also has to laugh in-between. In general it's a nice performance, but it certainly could and should have been better.

Now Elvis wants to sing "It's Now Or Never", his greatest hit. He does it very well and sounds quite impressive.

This is the second cover of a song by Olivia Newton-John, so it's safe to say Mr. Presley likes the work of his colleague. Today's rendition is faster than on the album "Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis". It fits the song well and the king's enthusiasm can be heared all throughout the performance.

Compared to previous outings Elvis doesn't seem to take the patriotic tripple too serious anymore. In-beween he jokes with his harmony singers (when they sing "I wish I was in Dixie" he answers "I wish you were, too") and his vocals lack the accuracy they used to have. Despite all the sloppyness he still sounds impressive, when he belts out the chorus. For the Southeners patriotism is enough, anyway. The don't care for musical details.

Elvis continues with his 1972 hit "Burning Love". The band rocks the house and the king obviously has fun. During the finale he even starts to shake his body and moves astonishingly fast, considering his physique.

Now the singer wants to take a look at his fans and has the house lights turned on. Due to the vastness of the arena, he asks, how the people in the back are able to see him. The country ballad itself is presented the usual way, first and foremost it's a tool to communicate with the audience. Elvis also uses the song to show off JD Sumners bass voice.

Suddenly someone yells out a request for "That's All Right", to which Elvis replies "You gotta be kidding". Nevertheless he sings it and delivers it very well. He even includes a little joke and sings "she ain't no good to screw" instead of "she ain't no good for you".

But now it's time to say goodbye and the king launches into "Can't Help Falling In Love". The band takes over with the "Closing Riff", Elvis bows in every direction and leaves the stage. Soon a voice can be heared saying "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building. Thank you and good night".
