uniondale,ny...evening concert.
one of the greatest concerts he ever gave.
he performs part of love me tender a'capella.
and gives a rare "live" performance of you'll never walk alone.
great show beginning to end.
in the pantheon of Elvis' performances...this one is legendary.

 

[cowboyec]

this tour in '75 produced some great concerts.
some believe this one...from Ashville,NC in late july...might be his best.
on this night...Elvis gives away a diamond ring and his famous black gibson dove guitar.
the set-list and his performance truly measure up to the hype.
a historic night.
