Elvis first sang this medley of "Dixie," "The Battle Hymn of the republic" and "All My Trials." arranged by Mickey Newbury, in Las Vegas in January 1972.
The performance released as a single on Elvis` insistence in April 1972, with a B-side of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," was from a February 16th show that year.
The medley of Yankee and Confederate fighting songs plus a song of comfort and hope was a big crowd-pleaser whenever Elvis sang it live, which he did often from 1972 through to 1975. It appears on on many live album and Elvis documentaries from the Seventies and on countless bootlegs.
This one is I think, the best song he ever did! Thanks for sharing it!
