Elvis was gearing up for another engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton in August of 1975. Long since having broken off from his main contract, he was strictly on an engagement-by-engagement basis, each one roughly about two weeks in length instead of a grueling four though keeping with the 2 shows a night deal in place. Yet after an amazing and sporadic July tour, people would wonder what Elvis would bring to the table for his 13th tour of duty in Las Vegas. Well, he asked the audience for the songs they wanted to hear. Now bare in mind, it had to be songs either the band knew, Elvis knew, or in all likelihood, ones that Elvis wanted to do. One song brought back was Suspicious Minds. A song he dropped the year prior, and refused to do on tour, with only the request box bringing it out for two final performances. All five concerts had this thought process in mind. Songs like Green Green Grass of Home, And I Love You So and Fever found themselves back on the stage after being abandoned to the Vegas Strip. Even an odd medley of That's All Right Mama and See See Rider made it to the August 20th Midnight Show. Sadly, after that shortened show, Elvis complained of breathing issues and the rest of the engagement was canceled to be made up in December. Never again did Elvis pass around a bucket for requests nor did he do two shows a night unless it was Saturday or the weekend in 1976. Here I have assembled (To my knowledge) all of the rarities and goodies that were sung from the engagement, with a majority of the songs coming from the August 20th Dinner show, which was the best-recorded show from the five-show stint. Now some songs are replaced with others, like the aforementioned That's All Right medley and T.R.O.U.B.L.E given their respected places in history. Also, songs from the August 19th dinner show have had their speeds corrected as the tape ran too fast (In my opinion). All in all, this was a fun project to undertake, and I hope you enjoy it.
