In the early evening hours of April 28, 1977 the king's private jet landed at the Austin Straubel Field in Green Bay/Wisconsin. Elvis was about to perform at the Brown County Veteran's Memorial Coliseum in front of 6,532 fans. It is estimated, that this show generated 100,000 USD. An audience recording of this concert was released in 2005 by the czech label Memory Records. The cover looks cheap, but the recording sounds very good, considering the source. The disc also features three bonus tracks, that were taped on June 2, 1977 in Mobile/Alabama.

After the pre-show there is a break of almost 30 minutes, during which the fans can fill-up their supply of popcorn, cola and merchandise. Then the lights go down and the orchestra plays the "Theme Of 2001". The band takes over with the "Opening Riff" and there he is: Elvis Presley.

The opening tune doesn't sound as smooth as on the album "Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis". Even though it's still an acceptable performance, the king appears powerless at times.

Elvis sings the word "well" in several pitches, James Burton "answeres" with his guitar. The final "well" is sung astonishingly low, because as a joke it was done by JD Sumner. The Ray Charles hit also doesn't sound as lively as it used to do, during "Amen" Elvis encourages the audience to sing along with him. Of course the king also presents some of his legendary movements and gives Mr. Sumner another opportunity to show off his bass-voice.

Now Elvis welcomes the audience, mentions the bright spotlights and explains their effect on his physique. He sounds tired. "Love Me" is sung the usual way, jokingly the king lets the backup singers hold the final note until they have to give up.

The country pop is presented in a tired way. At times Elvis is drowned out by the harmony singers. 

Here the king invests some more energy. He still cuts some lines short, but he obviously knows how to sell the song. At times his voice even sounds impressive.

Somewhat haltingly Elvis announces Sherrill Nielsen, who takes over with a performance of "Danny Boy". The previous year the song had been released by Elvis on the album "From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee". Sherrill interprets the classic completely different, but very well. He obviously sings much more accurate and with much more energy than his employer. Meanwhile Elvis is sitting on a chair, taking a break.

The king's pause continues, because Sherrill sings a second song.

Now Elvis explains, that there is one sound system for the stage and another one for the audience. Once again he sounds tired and sluggish. Nevertheless he meets a song request, at least he pretends to do so. Just very few know, that the "Jailhouse Rock" was on the set list anyway.

Once again Sherrill Nielsen takes over, this time to intone the Italian classic "O Sole Mio". Elvis follows with "It's Now Or Never", which is based on the traditional. At times he can be heared breathing heavily, but still he manages to belt out the chorus in an impressive way. The previously mentioned sound system also pipes up, in this case with a loud feedback.

Elvis continues with a breezy performance of "Little Sister". The audience loves it and claps along.

In contrast to the previous song, the medley is nothing but pure routine. However, Elvis throws scarfs in the audience and the ladies fall all over themselve to catch them.

Now the king announces "My Way" and admits, that he has to read the lyrics from a sheet. His performance is not as smooth as on the album "Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite", but therefore Elvis injects more drama. Without doubt, he still knows how to sell the song.

Obviously tired and short of breath the king introduces the members of his crew. Elvis himself sings a shortened version of "Early Morning Rain" and mumbles along to some solos of his band mates. It's pure time killing.

Usually Elvis sings the power ballad "Hurt", but today he obviously doesn't feel up to the challenge. "The Hawaiian Wedding Song" is much easier to sing and a sure crowd pleaser. Nevertheless the king can be heard breathing heavily.

Elvis mumbles through the same four lines of "Hound Dog" over and over again. Finally he shakes to the brass sounds of the orchestra. The fans love it, but for everyone else it's just painful to watch.

Now the king orders the house lights to be switched on, which drives the ladies nuts. At least in theory their idol is able to see them. In the last few months Elvis has done without the country ballad, but it's also quite easy to sing and therefore a welcome addition.

Elvis changes the first line to "Wise men know, when it's time to go". Otherwise he performs the classic from "Blue Hawaii" in the usual way. After the king has left, an announcer says "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building" and promotes the merchandising items, that are offered in the venue's lobby.

The bonus tracks were recorded on June 2, 1977 in Mobile/Alabama in front of 11,000 people. The audience recordings sound more muffled than the other one, but in general the quality is listenable. Out of the blue Elvis wants to sing "An American Trilogy". Even though the song is quite complex and nobody is prepared, the band and the orchestra manage an acceptable performance. But the king sounds very insecure and cannot compete with his previous renditions at all. To make it worse, he starts to sing during the trumpet solo and doesn't realize his mistake, even though it sounds completely odd and out of tune. Finally he stops the performance and has the orchestra start over again. This time he waits for the choir, before he joins in himself. Obviously he is embarrassed, because now he gives all he has and delivers an astonishingly powerful finale. By the way: This was the last time Elvis sang "An American Trilogy".

Tony Joe White's swamp rock was also presented for the very last time. Elvis obviousl likes the song, but his voice lacks aggression and power. His movements look rather helpless and sluggish. But the ladies scream nevertheless.

Here Elvis accompanies himself on the piano. At one point he appears to have forgotten the lyrics, but otherwise it's a fine and vocally strong performance.
