Già con questo concerto, gli Imperials non sono più con Elvis. Si suppone possa essere perché hanno già degli impegni o perché il Colonnello non ha intenzione di pagarli di più, ma gli Imperials, presto capiscono che saranno sostituiti definitivamente dagli Stamps e J.D Sumner.

Anche il numero di apertura, non viene più fatto dal comico Jackie Kahane.

Questa è la prima volta in cui Elvis chiude lo show con le braccia alzate e il mantello aperto, così come ama farlo alla fine delle canzoni How Great Thou Art, The Impossible Dream e Bridge Over Troubled Water.

La ragazza nella foto, ha un gravissimo handicap e viene spinta verso la sua postazione tra il pubblico, nella sua sedia a rotelle. Appare evidente che non c’è posto. Sua sorella (quella a sinistra) litiga con un incaricato. A quel punto il Colonnello arriva e porta le due ragazze nel backstage, per incontrare Elvis. La ragazza disabile è talmente commossa da piangere continuamente durante tutto il breve incontro. Le sorelle vengono fatte sedere di fronte al palco, perché possano vedere bene lo show.

Drug Story

Durante questo show, Elvis spiega il risultato di una biopsia al fegato, alla quale si è recentemente sottoposto e poco dopo fa un imbarazzante monologo su vari argomenti personali, tra cui il suo rapporto con Priscilla (che era tra il pubblico insieme alla figlia Lisa Marie) quello che dicono i giornali e le voci sulle “droghe”

Di questo concerto ho realizzato un video, interamente sottotitolato.

Ecco il link del post accompagnato da una bella recensione di Valeria Giannotta

16-09-1974

Elvis va al Tennessee Karate Institute insieme a Linda, per fare una dimostrazione di karate con Red West e Dave Wallace ed Dave Hebler, uno degli associati a Ed Parker.

A proposito della realizzazione del suo primo film sul karate, il Memphis Commercial Appeal scrive “Voglio i migliori istruttori di karate e specialisti sull’arte dell’autodifesa” dice Elvis, mentre filma una parte del documentario

Elvis Presley riceve il certificato di cintura nera di 8 ° grado dal Maestro Rhee, durante una cerimonia privata. La presentazione ebbe luogo il 16 settembre 1974 nello studio del Maestro Rhee a Memphis.

17-09-1974

In 10 giorni Elvis compra un sacco di cose per i suoi amici, la famiglia, lo staff ed estranei. Principalmente macchine, ma anche una carovana completa per suo cugino Billy Smith, per permettergli di vivere comodamente nella tenuta di Graceland.

19-09-1974

La cognata di Linda dà alla luce una bambina al Methodist Hospital. Elvis non solo insiste per vedere Louise, ma vuole anche vedere la sala travaglio, dove viene riconosciuto, nonostante la mascherina. Una donna presente dice: Oh Dio mio, assomigli ad Elvis Presley. Elvis risponde: Dolcezza, io sono Elvis Presley

21-09-1974

Visto che era ancora a Memphis, con l’aiuto di Linda, Elvis fa un programma dettagliato per il suo nuovo film sul karate, che si chiamerà: The New Gladiators. Elvis vuole fare questo film per promuovere la sua filosofia che il karate è un metodo per aiutare se stessi.
