ok i gave it a quick listen the first time round and it sounded great , however last night i sat down and listened to it completly through, we pop in with ELVIS midway through love me , and then comes a good version of if you love me.... to me this song never sounded better than durring the may june 77 tour, his phrasing was incredible and the bravado on begging me to straaaaaay. as we move on he does a great version of burning love[even the orchestration sounds great with some fine guitar work from james burton, a great highlight for me is when he bursts into trouble[king creole version] and glen hardin is right there with some great piano work it sure is sounding great until he forgets the rest of the song- to bad i wished he kept it going, because the later t.r.o.u.b.l.e. [is way to long , and he sounds tired and disinterested], and the wonder of you is done with complete disregard and never matches the 70 versions for me , we are also treated to good versions of let me be there, along with a meadiocre version of funny ... and for the good times[he sounds lost , and uninspired] a great version of trilogy that finally wakes him up , only to do a sloppy job on little darlin, to me i guess the afternoon performances always suffered and to me this one is no exception, the booklet is more exiting than the performance on this cd, as a bonus we are given a short interview from memphis football game and ELVIS in the press box, the announcer[pretty bold guy he is ] asks ELVIS if he would give him a cadillac as he did the other journalist , ELVIS as modest as ever says it was another guy and not him[smart move E.P.], and so is my opinion of wild weekend in huntsville[ a real hyped up if not misleading title] but again it's nice to have this in my possession.
