He still looked like and was just as good as he was in The Thats the Way It Is movie here...in his top prime...This is the Elvis i wish i could go back iin a time machine and see live...😀😀🎸🎸👍👍
I began school in '71. Here is E. all taut, trim and terrific. I think the year 1971 seems to be a bit overshadowed in the life of Elvis Presley: 1970 had a motion picture, 1972 had Elvis On Tour, while early '73 had the ground-breaking satellite show from Hawaii.
You’re not wrong. The prospect of doing 60 shows in a month, 2 a night, twice a year and keeping the energy level high for all of them had to be mentally and physically exhausting. Over time, he simply found a less demanding way to perform.
This was 2 days before the end of the Las Vegas Summer engagement and Elvis’s performance here is in such contrast to that of just a year before. Elvis seems bored, and tired and is just mailing it in. It’s a shame, but it goes back to the Colonel’s endless and arduous scheduling. Elvis needed a break.
Very good
One of his best jumpsuits !

Fantastic brilliant footage!!! Thank you
OmG, had never seen this before! One of my favourite jumpsuits in motion, with Elvis!!! 🕺🕺🕺🔥🔥🔥
Terrific, thanks a LOT for posting!
I was at this concert and have an audio tape of the concert. He was awesome.
That's fantastic... please do a video and share on the tube
This is awesome footage!! Probably some of the best of 1971 during the summer engagement! I would love to see more from ‘71 especially from Jan/Feb 😢
"That's Allright Mama" was done in the key of G, which is highly rare! It's normally in A.
OK
Blue Suede Shoes is the best part!
Great camera!

This video and audio should be cleaned up and preserved! What a shame.
Hey! It's Dec 14 2023, and Gladys Knight sans The Pips, is coming to Melbourne for her farewell concert!
I can't believe how incredibly bored he is.
“Bored”?? Not in his or my lifetime and I’ve been on this earth 72 yrs! But being from Memphis and seeing #Elvis many times might have swayed me 😊
I know the fans see Elvis through fan goggles but IMO this is pretty lackluster in comparison to his Vegas performances from the previous year.

Were you at your peak everyday on your job? I doubt it and I doubt it required the energy Elvis expended. SMH.
Then Go out there and do better
I'm a huge Elvis fan. I listen to him every day. And you are absolutely right. He's bored. He's worn down and he's mailing it in.
