Elvis is in high spirits this day, as he was on most of his concerts this specific tour. An energetic 'See See Rider' sets the pace. A lot of fun during 'I Got A Woman/Amen' assures the listener that this will be one helluva evening. 'Love Me' is performed more seriously than Elvis used to do, a welcomed change, indeed. And there is no doubt that Elvis simply loved the Olivia Newton-John song 'If You Love Me (Let Me Know)'.
'Love Me Tender' is of course two - three minutes of giving away scarves, kissing girls and shaking hands, more than a piece of music. But then again, who could blame him? 'All Shook Up' is also a real run-through, while 'Teddy Bear/Don't Be Cruel' is surprisingly dedicated. I think the reason for this is the tempo. Too often Elvis would rush through this medley. This day, however, it is performed quite slowly.
It is not often you get to hear Elvis promoting his own records. But this day he makes it quite clear that the next song he is going to perform can be found on his new album, called "Elvis Today". The way Elvis performs 'Fairytale' is also something of a promotion. This is one of the best versions I have ever heard of Elvis doing this song. Perhaps only beaten by a version he did some months before in Las Vegas. It is full of conviction, and Elvis' voice is steady and strong as many times in 1975 and years before.
In general these words also applies for 'Burning Love'. A splendid mixture of Rock and Pop delivered in suitable style!
The introduction of the band was by now beginning to take more and more time, but still it is not as boring as it would be later on. Elvis kicks off a fair version of 'Johnny B. Goode' during the presentation of James Burton. After the band is introduced, Elvis also presents his father, and his doctor! This is Elvis in a nutshell; no one could feel certain of not being introduced by Elvis while attending an Elvis show!
Before 'T-R-O-U-B-L-E', Elvis again find it appropriate to inform the audience that this song recently has been released on a record. 'T-R-O-U-B-L-E' this day is really a great version. Sometimes Elvis had problems with the lyrics and the overall arrangement of the song. Not this day!
'Why Me, Lord' is mixed with some typical Elvis humor, and 'How Great Thou Art' is getting more and more majestic. Still not as great as it would be later (the best version I have heard is from Las Vegas, December 13 1975), but definitely better than versions from 1972 and 1974.
This does not account for 'Let Me Be There' and 'Funny How Time Slips Away' and certainly not for 'American Trilogy'. Elvis was obviously a bit tired of "Trilogy". Still he does good versions of the song, but the commitment is less than before. 'American Trilogy' and 'Mystery Train/Tiger Man' are taken from another concert, and not from Memphis. You can hear both these versions in quite a different sound mix on the bootleg from Jackson, June 9 Cut 'Em Down To Size. The two last tracks on "Let Me Take You Home" are taken from yet another concert, this time from Shreveport, June 7. Diamond Anniversary has managed to put these songs together so well that you can hardly notice that it is not from the same concert. Splendid work! I have heard other bootleggers failed to do this, even with an easier task.
