| March 20, 1974 Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis |
| Nineteen seventy-four, in many ways, the calm after the storm, There were no major events, no studio recording sessions, and only modest record sales. Elvis spent much of the year on the road in his busiest touring schedule since the '50s, supplementing gis customary two seasons as Las Vegas with two engagements at Lake Tahoe and four tours. The reason was simple: Live performance was where the money was. The tour ended in Memphis, where the Colonel, no doubt recognizing the problem of getting Elvis back into the studio again without a struggle, had sold RCA on yet another live recording, the occasion being Elvis' first hometown performance in thirteen years. Like every other appearance on the three-week tour, the five Memphis shows were sell-outs, and in fact the fifth was added almost as an afterthought, prompted by public demand and separated from the first four by already scheduled concerts in Richmond, Virginia, and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It was only the last for which RCA brought in its mobile recording unit, capturing a performance no more worked out or planned than any other stop along the way. The result conveyed more of a sense of tour-end relief than the keyed up exuberance that makes for a great live album. The show itself featured three numbers that hadn't been previously released: A cover of Olivia Newton-John's "Let Me Be There," and the gospel numbers "Why Me Lord" and "Help Me." The most impressive moment was probably Elvis' thundering version of "How Great Thou Art," which won him his third and final Grammy, once again for Best Sacred Recording, the only category in which he ever triumphed. *Careless Love by Peter Guralnick* & *The Complete Recording Sessions by Ernst Jorgensen* |
