If his later shows were shite blame the fans who booked him out. Bet you would have all been really pissed off it they said Elvis had cancelled your show because he was tired, yet you come here and slate him for being tired.

I think it s great what he was doing there. He tried to do something new and the people didn t unterstand. I believe if I would sing those songs a hundredthousand times I would get weary of that. Great artist this man! Probably one of the best of the century.

Even fans seem to forget he didn't "move" much in the 1973 "Aloha From Hawaii" concert that's often considered his best. Even in the 1968 "T.V. Special" there were songs he would later, even in 1977, put more energy & movements into. I'm pretty sure the people attending these 1977 concerts were not thinking "Elvis will be at his 100% best tonight". The basic practice of comparing years, shows, artists, etc, is all simply not fair, nor logical.

@mofoca22 well 1970 and 1972 where years earlier before 1977, its not like days. elvis gave his all this footage he dont dance alot i agree but that wasnt the way every time he performed it in 1977, i saw footages from other concerts where elvis dances more to it this footage is probably the may 1977 tour which had up-show but also down shows, although the sound is from April 27 1977 Milwauki

People need to remember the physical pain Elvis was dealing with in 1977. He played many concerts with severe cramps due to his twisted colon. The extra weight he carried was mostly water due to the effects of the steroids he was taking for that problem. I don't see this as a bad performance. It may not be 1974 stuff but it was still good.

@berrygirl964 Great and precise comment

@MrBionicman I barely knew who he was in the mid 60's as I was literally 2 yrs old, when mom had a hell of a time, getting me away from the tv, every time he was on! lol It sadden me that he had put on weight and was ill at the end, but I loved him regardless, because the man can sing! What other artist do we know that can sing Gospel, Country and rock and sell millions of albums of each?? He was the best, heck with the rest!
I saw Elvis 3x b4 he died, in '74,76 & 77 all in Texas. He only performed this song in the 74 concert. He is sorely missed. For those of u who aren't fans and can't see what us fans see, let me tell u... its not fair to compare earlier performances or other artists, whom wouldn't have made it without Elvis influence! Elvis was in bad health here, but he still influence artists today and remains the best that ever was!

Poor thing, could barely move. The singing was lethargic and spotty. I don't think he should have been doing this, he should have been getting help, then hit the road at 100%.
