_________________________

This was the Vegas-season after Aloha 73.
A season with ups and (kind of) downs.
It started of very good with fantastic shows, but in the middle of the series Elvis had throat problems.
This led to a canceling of a show.
But the king knew that his fans where there for him so he continued the shows,altough his voice wasn't that strong anymore.
This final show is a very relaxed one, you can feel that Elvis is relieved it's almost over, that he can go to rest..
His voice is still not 100% but he tries...he tries very hard.
And that gives us a great season closing show.
The version of "What now my love" is sung/spoken with great emotion, a real higlight!!
There are even two instrumental reprises of the ending, very rare to hear, but it gives an idea how the mood was that evening.
And what a lovely "i'll remember you" credited to the writer Kui Lee.

This show has been on cdr for a few years and since 2005 it's on pressed disc in very decent sound.
To me this is the re-discovery of the month, Elvis pleasing his fans,despite the voice troubles.
A truly fascinating performance.
