Elvis: 1976 was a very busy year for Elvis. He gave some terrible concerts in the middle of the year. He was really fat. But for the last tour of that year, which begun on December 27 and lasted till the new year's eve, he was no more lazy, no more fat (just a bit puffy) and finally in great voice. This CD represents the last show of the tour. Elvis is in high shape, great voice and great mood [probably] for the last time in his life.
Highlights: The biggest highlights of the concert are: Big Boss Man - a rarely performed song in late 1976. Another great song is My Way - as always a very emotional version. Auld Lang Syne is just a rarity - you hardly hear Elvis, because he almost doesn't sing the song. Reconsider Baby is sung with Elvis on guitar and is great. And of course the 2 numbers performed by him on piano - both Unchained Melody and Rags to Riches (as far as I know - the only live version of it!) are great.
