The album ends with the closing show of the tour. Just like the day before, the king performed at the Coliseum in Charlotte/North Carolina in front of 12,000 people. As he had done at the opening show, Elvis wore the "Indian Chief Suit". It would be the last time, he used this outfit.

Just like he had done in December of the previous year, Elvis wants to accompany himself on guitar. Because the instrument is used as a prop, it's not connected to the sound system. To enable the fans to hear the king's guitar playing, his microphone is lowered to the height of his guitar and Charlie Hodge holds a second mike close to Elvis' face. Of course the sound engineer realized, that something unusual was going on, but it took him a while to get the equipment running and therefore the recording starts in mid-song. Elvis mixes up the lines and sings "Do the chairs in your parlour seem empty and bare" instead of "Does your memory strain to a bright summer day". Realizing, that something is wrong he stops the performance and asks for the words. Estelle Brown, a member of The Sweet Inspirations, cues her boss and says "Does your memory strain". Elvis tries to turn it into a joke and askes "Does yours?" whereupon Estelle answers "Yours did!".  The second try is a complete performance, but the king misses quite a few notes and the "comedy act" isn't all that funny. Charlie pretents that Elvis is singing to him and acts "gay". The audience has as much fun as the king and his minion, but in general it's nothing but a sad display of some hillbillies making fun of homosexuals. Neither intelligent, nor funny. Welcome to the Bible Belt!

Now Elvis announces a blues song, that he did a month and a half ago. He's referring to his show in Pittsburgh, where he also performed "Reconsider Baby". He sounds a bit tired, but otherwise it's a fine presentation. At first the king wants to follow up with "That's All Right", but then he suddenly claims, his guitar was out of tune and continues with his regular set list.

Instead of the a-side of his first single Elvis sings "Love Me" and uses the song as a tool to make contact to the fans and throw some scarfs into the audience.

Normally the king continues his program with "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)" or "Fairytale". But today he wants to do something different and announces "I'd like to try my latest record, I tried it last night, but didn't make it". Actually the band and the harmony singers have rehearsed "Moody Blue" in the afternoon, but of course Elvis hasn't attended and simply reads the lyrics from a sheet and tries to remember the melody from the recording sessions in early 1976. As expected, it doesn't work. The musicians know their parts, but the lead vocalist misses notes, messes up the timing and sounds out of breath. Finally he admits "I'm glad you learned it, 'cause I don't know the key, the chord-changes, everything". Well, we certainly have noticed that!

The dramatic ballad is on the program for half a decade, so it works fine. Elvis uses the chorus to belt out some lines and I have to admit, that he still sounds impressive.

In the background Charlie Hodge can be heared asking, if his boss wants to do "It's Now Or Never" or "Jailhouse Rock". Elvis settles for the latter one and delivers a zesty, albeit vegasy rendition of the rock'n'roll classic.

Now Elvis announces a medley of some of his old records, but suddenly makes up his mind and wants to do "It's Now Or Never" instead. First Sherrill Niesen yelps "O Sole Mio", then his boss takes over with the American version. Once again he doesn't fail to impress with some belted out lines.

The king returns to the original idea of presenting a medley of his golden greats and likes to start with "LIttle Sister". A few days earlier he has ditched the worn-out "All Shook Up" in favor of his chart hit from 1961. It certainly was a good idea, because "Little Sister" is performed much better.

Elvis also should have taken this medley out of service, because he obviously doesn't care about the songs. His voice sounds weak and nasal. However, his principal occupation is throwing scarfs into the audience. For the ladies it's enough, to them the attention of the king is much more important than his vocal performance.

In contrast to the oldies Elvis cares for Sinatra's "My Way" and therefore delivers a very good rendition of the classic.  

The king obviously is in great mood, because he enthusiastically suggests "Let's do RELEASE ME....RELEASE ME". Two days ago he surprisingly has revived the tune and now he wants to do it again. Compared to the previous outing this performance is much smoother, even the orchestra joins in after a while. However, despite being in high spirits and willing to entertain, Mr. Presley has trouble with the longer lines and quickly gets out of breath.

Because the engineer didn't record the "Introductions", the album continues with "Hurt". It's a good, at times even impressive performance. But by now Elvis has to save his energy along the way and doesn't repeat the finale or even sing the complete song once more.

Normally Elvis continues the show with "Hound Dog", but today he wants to do "Why Me, Lord" instead. Since he's wrecking the rock'n'roll classic on a regular basis, the decision is not the worst one. JD Sumner takes over the lead vocals and the king joins The Stamps on the chorus. However, somehow he suddenly thinks, his bass singer has missed a note and he has him doing the part again. WTF?!? If Presley's vocalists would be that meticulous, he would have to stop almost every song. 

Finally Elvis says goodbye, sings his usual closer "Can't Help Falling In Love" and leaves the stage to the sounds of the "Closing Riff". The first tour of the new year is over, the king will be back on the road on March 23rd.
