Running for President Charlotte, March 20 1976 Evening Show 01 2001/Amen 02 Love Me 03 Let Me Be There 04 You Gave Me A Mountain 05 Steamroller Blues 06 All Shook Up 07 Teddy Bear/Don't Be Cruel 08 Hound Dog 09 Heartbreak Hotel 10 Polk Salad Annie 11 Introductions 12 And I Love You So 13 Hurt 14 Burning Love 15 America 16 Funny How Times Slip Away 17 Fairytale 18 How Great Thou Art 19 Can't Help Falling In Love 20 Closing Vamp the little part of 2001 is taken from Cincinnati, March 21 1976. Why they decided to put a little part of 2001 before amen is a mystery to me. Anyway this release shows that Elvis had a strong voice in 76.

One of my favourites from 1976. Everyone always raves about the Late '76 shows and rightly so...they are terrific (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/00000407.gif) , but i would always recommend this show also.
Elvis in very good form....and excellent sound. Great 1976 show (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/00000407.gif) -------------------- TCB Chris

i don't have this one but i have had the opertunity to hear it, and your right it is a great show. i agree they could have left out the 2001 intro befor amen but it doesn't take away from the show itself. thank's for the info tigerman (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif)

Still a good show (certainly when compared to the afternoon performace, but that's a another storry .....) Probably the worst version of Teddy Bear / Don't Be Cruel ever .. don't know who screws it up more: Elvis or the band (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/laughing1.gif) (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/laughing1.gif) Burning Love is indeed a highlight and possibly one of the best versions I've ever heard him do. For once he gets the lyric right (that same afternoon he false started the song more than 1 time) and the tempo is quite good too. A brilliant version in stereo (as is the whole cd) with a great James Burton. -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this?

indeed an above average show...you would wonder if it's really Elvis in '76 (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Burning Love is certainly brilliant, unlike the Teddy Bear/Don't Be Cruel medley! At NRD, you'll find the best alt.cover ever made for this release!

The song I like most from this show is "Let Me Be There". Don't know exactly why it thrills me so much, but I really like the way he sang it there, especially the last verse.

I agree guys, this is a great show, especially coming from 1976. The version of Burning Love is simply awesome, one of the best versions done for sure. James Burton's guitar on it sounds amazing, the whole show is very good all the way around expect for the TeddyBear/Don't Be Cruel, but other than that a great show indeed. Another good performance from this concert is How Great Thou Art, it kicks but [img]style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif[/img] .
Another thing cool about this concert is the tracklist, they are all great songs, different, kind of refreshing you have the oldies, gospel,country, just an awesome cd all around, I would for sure recommend this cd to all Elvis fans [img]style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif[/img] . |
