Elvis in Concert
Beskrivning:Det här blev Elvis svanesång. Två månader efter att de här liveinspelningarna gjordes i juni 1977 var han död. De första två sidorna ingick i en s k TV special som CBS spelade in vid konserter i Omaha och Rapid City; de andra två består av kompletterande inspelningar från samma tillfällen. Utvikningskonvolut med scenbilder av Elvis.
"Astonishingly, given Elvis Presley's physical condition, he (or his management) agreed to film a TV special in June 1977 at two concerts held in Omaha and Rapid City, SD....it's hard to believe that CBS-TV actually would have aired the show if Presley hadn't died two months later, making it his final recorded performance (and making his records big sellers again)....His fans can be heard praising him, and his father signs off mournfully (in the middle of the album). "My Way," released as a single, made the Top 40 and went gold....while the album went platinum within two weeks. But it is Elvis Presley's least effort, as well as his last."
