Elvis clowning in many songs.
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.
Sound Sample: Softly As I Leave You
Concert:

Another great closing show ; Elvis was always in a special mood for opening and closing shows and the enthusiasm and setlist bear this fact out. Yes , the cover photo is from the concert !

Again Elvis is in a hilarious mood. He fools around with the lyrics of Suspicious Minds while singing Bridge Over Troubled Water ! Amazingly the band goes with the joke, and Elvis carries it through till the end ! First version of Softly As I Leave You, totally different to later ones. Very good show with interesting setlist !!
Elvistook a rideon the back of Lamar Fike for both the dinner and closing shows, he also had a stuffed monkey on his back (as shown above).(Ciscoking)
