Elvis Presley Live in Birmingham, 29 Dec. 1976, Part 3 of 7

Near one hour of the concert will be uploaded in seven parts: ALL SONGS ARE AUDIO COMPLETE.
Part3
Jailhouse Rock O Sole Mio/Its now or never Trying to Get to You
In the last days of 1976 Elvis Presley started a 5 days tour from 27 to 31 of December.
It began in Wichita, Ks (27), Dallas, Tx (28), Birmingham, Al (29), Atlanta (Ge) (30) and ended in Pittsburgh (Pa), for a new years eve concert!

Now, over 30 years passed those concerts are mythical!

Not only those were, by far, Elvis best tour from 1976, but those concerts showed the King in a Top From, and are ranked among his best 25 concerts from 1971 to 1977.

Ive uploaded already both the Atlanta and Pittsburgh Concerts.

Now Its time for the Birmingham Show, that is as outstanding as the previous!

Elvis is performing for the first time in that City, 8 months prior his dead, but he stays on stage for near 80 minutes and gives a bombastic Show!

The sold out Jefferson Coliseum (18,400 seats) witnesses The King at His Very Best, with a breathtaking performance of old songs and new ones: Trying to get to You, a fantastic song thought all the Tour, My Way (with a fantastic David Briggs on the electric clavinet), You Gave Me a Mountain, Polk Salad Annie (the wildest version ever) or Mystery Train/Tiger Man, are true Show toppers!

But we have a little more here to show you:
Hurt is unique, with its final!
Unchained Melody is superb in its simplicity and passion.
But, for me, the Real Highlights of the Concert are the 7 minutes where the king sings unique renditions of Until its time for you to go and, dedicating it to Ginger Alden, The Most Beautiful Version ever of The First Time Ever I Saw Your face following not his version but Roberta Flacks Version, singing the Last verse (not included in his 1971 single) only with his voice and David Briggs electric Piano! An Orgasmic Performance!

The video image is not that great, but with the soundboard sound this is very nice to see.

I have excluded the intro parts and Hound Dog.

As far as I know, from this fantastic December 1976 tour, this is the last known footage from those concerts.

And uploading this one to all Elvis Presley Fans, in true privilege for me!

Ladies And Gentlemen sit back and enjoy: The King Burning In Birmingham!

Too bad those good times had to end. Elvis fans would have packed the stadiums even when he was 90 and in a wheelchair. We come to hear the legend and the voice, not the image.

Just unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

@MrSpringtime22 yea i agree with that

[MrSpringtime22]

I read that Elvis had made a last bid for Priscilla to come back and move in with daughter Lisa at Christmas of this year,1976. He had lost weight and was in pretty good shape,but she said no. He went downhill after this performance..January to August of 1977 and of course died August 16th. Maybe Ginger helped,but he wanted Priscilla back. He likey felt guilty too..
