Adios-The final performance #8

New clip !
Elvis Presley gave his last show on June 26, 1977 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
RCA never released the concert but bootleggers gave us this great performance since 1977 on double LP "The last farewell" but in bad sound. Many releases are available in audience recordings through the yeras but in 1993 "A.J. Records" label released this show in good sound ! From this CD a lot of bootleggers made other bootlegs. So the first good release "ADIOS-THE FINAL PERFORMANCE" is on these clips for gave us the opportunity to listen the last Elvis' show !

In terms of show content, this is a standard late 70's concert. Larrie Londin is on drums, and you can tell that he isn't familiar with the routine. He adds a staccato drum finish to 'I Got A Woman,' making it sound slower and more dramatic. It's really neat. Elvis gives some rather strong performances. 'You Gave Me A Mountain,' 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' and 'Hurt' are performed particularly well. There are two rarities for this period, 'Release Me,' and 'I Can't Stop Loving You.' Elvis didn't seem interested in singing either of these songs, especially the latter of the two. Nevertheless, it's interesting to hear these tunes so late in the game. There is a four minute monologue just before Elvis closes the show. Elvis introduces his father, girlfriend, cousin, the concert staff, and just about everybody else. He also thanks the audience. I've read in other reviews that this monologue was supposed to be cryptic and prophetic, but I didn't hear anything that would lead me to believe that. As a matter of fact, Elvis states that he'll be back if the audience wants to hear him! How I wish that "prophecy" would've come true!!

If you're a fan of Elvis circa 1977, like I am, you'll like this CD. The overall sound quality and production is great for an audience recording. The only thing that can top this production would be a complete soundboard recording released by FTD. That would be fantastic!

This entire concert was absolutely phenomenal and electrifying. Thanks a whole lot for uploading this unreleased Elvis concert onto Youtube, 100 Stars. Elvis will definitely never be forgotten. I don't have any Bootleg CD's. I believe that the FTD CD label will eventually issue this historic concert.
