Per disposizione del Dr. Nick, il tour di 4 settimane deve essere ridotto a 2. Essendo sabato, Elvis fa i due concerti previsti per questa sera, mentre l’usuale show di apertura riservato agli invitati, viene rinviato al giorno dopo (normalmente lo show su invito avviene di venerdì, ma questa volta è stato spostato al sabato per non entrare in conflitto con il rientro di Frank Sinatra al Ceasar Palace).
Duke Bardwell sostituisce Emory Gordy al basso e per la prima volta, con Elvis ci sono anche i Voice.
