This is quite a unique show. Elvis leaves the stage in the middle of the performance because of a throat infection. He hardly has a voice left. After he returns he sings the closing song but changes his mind and performs another 4 songs (among them one of the two known versions of Polk Salad Annie in '73) before he finaly closes again with Can't Help Falling In Love. One has to have great respect for the man here. Even under these circumstances he tried his best to give people their money worth.
