Elvis Presley Still Has Ability to Wow His Audiences : April 18, 1972
His hair is now modishly long, his style is a bit more subdued, but his ability to relate to an audience remains unchanged. Elvis Presley - the entertainer who made the pelvis a national cliché in the 1950s - brought his music to San Antonio Tuesday night. And the result was a sell-out performance, a few ear piercing shrieks, and an example of Presley's musical appeal. Elvis Presley is a showman, a good one, and Tuesday's audience reflected his continuing appeal. Elvis was concerned to look good because an MGM team was going to film parts of the tour and make 'The Best Elvis Film Ever Made'.
The extreme hunger diet did result in Elvis losing a few kilos but he didn't look well during the tour: his face was bloated, he looked tired - and the split with Priscilla was such a hard blow for Elvis that he didn't manage to put his whole soul into the performance. Despite this, the concerts were of a very high quality; the orchestra now functioned better than ever on tour, and the repertoire consisted of musical pearls like 'How Great Thou Art', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling', 'You Gave Me A Mountain' - and not least 'An American Trilogy', which was included for the first time on tour.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
