Phoenix Over Tennessee

Questo è il primo tour dell’anno e parte con una certa confusione. Il pianista Glen D. Hardin ha dato le dimissioni e viene sostituito da Shane Keister, il pianista della session di Nashville.

Il chitarrista James Burton e il batterista Ronnie Tutt hanno comunicato che anche loro vogliono andarsene e Tutt viene rimpiazzato dal batterista di Nashville, Larrie Londin, mentre, alla fine, James Burton decide di rimanere.

Steamrolling Charlotte

Normalmente, il culmine dello show, è quando Elvis canta “Hurt” “How Great Thou Art” “You Gave Me A Mountain” e “America The Beautiful” ed occasionalmente con “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. In questo show, questi pezzi forti, sono eseguiti con mancanza di interesse e, sia ai fans che alla stampa, Elvis appare “confuso” e che dimentica spesso le parole.

A Rendezvous In St Louis

Durante l'esecuzione di “You Gave Me A Mountain” una signora bionda sale sul palco e abbraccia Elvis molto affettuosamente, facendogli dimenticare le parole della canzone, La sicurezza la prende e l’allontana da lui.

Il giorno dopo girano voci che Elvis avrebbe giurato che mai più avrebbe cantato a St. Louis e così è stato.
