Originally Elvis was supposed to perform in Lakeland/Florida on April 27th and 28th one show each day. But after the 16,400 tickets were sold out in record time, an additional afternoon concert was staged on April 27th. And this is the one we get to hear on this disc. The focus still was on the newer material, but some of the oldies had slipped back into the program. By the way: During this afternoon show Elvis wore the same outfit, that he had used in Macon a few days earlier. It is said, that the three concerts in Lakeland generated 226,500 USD.

Elvis welcomes the crowd by saying "Good afternoon...is it afternoon?", but continues with "I hope you have a good time this evening". Well, usually the king gets up at 4:00 pm, so I guess at 2:30 pm he lacks his sense of time. Elvis introduces himself as Wayne Newton and sings "Love Me". While doing so, he flirts with a lady and gives her a scarf.

The oldie is followed by "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)". Elvis obviously loves the song and sings it very well.

Now the king announces "I'd like to sing a little bit of my first movie song, which was Love Me Tender". Musically "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" was the better choice, but the fans like the old stuff better and the ladies fall all over themselves to get a scarf or even a kiss from the king.

Instead of his his current single "It's Midnight" / "Promised Land" Elvis opts for presenting a medley of oldies. At least he sings them well, so they are an enjoyable journey to the good ole' days.

With "Help Me" Elvis returns to more recent material. The song is performed a tad slower than on the album "Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis" (1974), which is a good choice.

Now Elvis rocks the house with "Burning Love" and moves quite well during the finale. Fat and 40 or not - he still can do it!

Compared to his show in Macon Elvis sings a few songs less before introducing the band. This time James Burton plays "Johnny B. Goode" instead of "What'd I Say" and Jerry Scheff settles for a blues number. In a somewhat nasty move Elvis pretends to introduce John Wilkinson as Duke Bardwell, the bass player he just kicked out.

The power ballad "My Boy" is presented just as well as a few days earlier in Macon.

Elvis claims, that he didn't find the time to learn the words of "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and therefore has to read them off a sheet. WTF?!? However, even though it's not flawless, his performance is better than the train wreck presented in Macon a few days earlier.

The show continues with "Why Me Lord", one of the new songs on previous years' album "Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis". When JD Sumner sings "Tell me, Lord, what have I ever done" Elvis jokingly answers "Not much", which cracks up his bass singer. So it's not a serious performance, but certainly a very entertaining one.

Elvis sticks to the new material from his latest live album and presents "Let Me Be There". He has raised the tempo, which suits the country pop well. The king obviously likes it very much and even offers a reprise.

Before introducing the band Elvis had sung two songs less than in Macon, now he makes up for it by presenting two more after the break. Before he performs "The Hawaiian Wedding Song", he wants to offer Kathy Westmoreland a chance to find a guy. He hands her one of his scarfs to act the same like he does while singing "Love Me Tender". Of course it's a funny idea, but I seriously doubt, that his soprano singer felt comfortable. However, the presentation of the old movie song is quite good and Elvis and Kathy finish the tune by duetting on the last line.

Here we have nother song, Elvis hadn't presented in Macon. But in contrast to the other oldies, the king just mumbles through some lines of "Hound Dog" and obviously doesn't give a damn about this rock'n'roll classic.

The patriotic trilogy is a different ballgame. Albeit the singer isn't in the condition to meet the performance on his single (1972) or the "Aloha" album (1973), he belts out the finale in impressive style. Jokingly he's also referencing his bass singer, when he changes the line "For Dixiland, where I was born" to "...where JD was born".

Now Elvis bows out with a few words and meets the applause for "Trilogy" by stating "You're the real star of the show". Then he segues into "Can't Help Falling In Love", shakes a few hands during the "Closing Riff" and leaves the stage. A few hours later he'll be back and perform for another audience of 8,200.
