Notes:  Tracks 1-7: Dinner Show / Tracks 8-25: Closing Show

Elvis goffing around in the closing show.
In "Long Tall Sally" he changed Aunt Mary and Uncle John to Charlie and J.D.
In "Fever" Elvis sang "Myrna Smith and J.D. Summer had a very mad affair"...
"Love Me Tender" is a silly version, Elvis sings "to hell with the Hilton Hilton" among other lyric changes.
"Suspicious Minds" is sung to the lyrics of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" before Elvis performs two serious versions.
In "An American Trilogy" Elvis wishes he was in "Disney".
Elvis had fun on stage. And it sounds, the audience did too.

This title is now deleted from the FTD catalog!
 
Concert:  A funny and unusual show with Elvis being in a hilarious mood ! He acts more like a comedian than as a singer ! He mixes up songs and changes the lyrics etc.
A unique show, but not bad. It does have its charm ! (Ciscoking)
