In 1974 Elvis embarked on a spectacular run of over 150 sold-out
concerts across the U.S. and emerged victorious, delivering upon the
promise of his previous year's artistic achievements that included the
spectacular Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite and Memphis Stax
recordings. On March 20, 1974 Elvis' historic performance in his
hometown of Memphis was recorded and it captured Elvis full of
spontaneity playing to an ecstatic crowd.
This
