The long, dark road … elvis on tour in 1976-77.

It’s hard to believe that Elvis Presley has been gone for so long. August 16 is the anniversary of his death in 1977. That day a sense of disbelief overwhelmed Elvis fans like me. How could it happen? Why didn’t we see it coming?

In retrospect, we know that Elvis’ health was unstable for several years leading up to his passing. And yet, he kept up a personal appearance schedule that would have taxed the energy of a much healthier, younger man. Between mid-March 1976 and the end of June 1977, a period of less than 16 months, Elvis spent a total of 141 days on tour around the country, plus engagements of 10 days in Lake Tahoe and 11 days in Las Vegas. During breaks in the grueling schedule, Elvis dealt with legal problems, stressed relations with fired employees, and recurring health issues. Many reviews of his stage shows during this period provided clues to his deteriorating condition. Unfortunately, Elvis was moving too fast from city to city for the public to put the puzzle pieces together.

Elvis opened his 1976 tour schedule in March with a six-day, four-state hop through the Southeast. Writing in the  Cincinnati Enquirer  on the 22nd, Cliff Radel was brutally honest about Presley’s appearance and movements during his show the night before:

“The years have not been kind to Elvis. His eyes are puffy. His ample cheeks and fleshy neck overemphasize his surly lips. If he gains any more weight, they may be squeezed from his face. Presley’s girth is regal in the manner of Henry VIII. The man’s legendary hip gyrations are there in spirit, but not in action. The enormous six inch wide belt which before Presley split a rear seam in his powder-blue pants was a matching blue number encircled with the Presidential Seal—and the equally enormous paunch drastically restricted his movements.”

• “The pounds only make Elvis more imposing”

Elvis then had a month off before heading out on a seven-day swing through the Midwest and West. Reviewers at his first two stops in Kansas City and Omaha were much kinder to Elvis. Jess Ritter in the  Kansas City Star  on April 22 claimed, “From the moment he strode onstage last night, though, he proved clearly that, at age 41, he is still one of the most charismatic entertainers in America,” and in Omaha, reviewer Doug Smith noted, “The King is still the King, despite of reports that he has been depressed, debilitated and overweight. Indeed, Presley is maybe 30 or 40 pounds over his playing weight … But the pounds only make Elvis more imposing, if slightly less mobile.”

But out west Denise Kusel wasn’t pulling any punches in her review of Elvis’ Long Beach show on April 25:

“Watching Elvis at the Long Beach Arena Sunday night was like watching a parody of a dying legend … mostly it was like watching a chubby puppet wrapped in a double chin and a foreign body work through a series of Elvis songs. But heroes die and even the best sunrise melts into sunset and then darkness.”

In the spring and summer of 1976, Elvis worked a grueling tour schedule with only occasional breaks, all too short to restore his all to apparent precarious health. On May 28 in Bloomington, Indiana, writer Rich Stim noticed Elvis’ weight problem, but dismissed it as unimportant. “I might as well start out by saying that I could care less if Elvis was rolled out in a wheelbarrow, as long as his attitude was okay and his voice was in tune." After Presley’s June 27 show in Largo, Maryland, though, reviewer Charlie McCollum roasted the overweight singer. “Here was a fat (chubby is no longer the word) man … The lean, mean Elvis is long gone and, in his place, is a William Conrad-figure wearing a Sonny Bono wig. Instead of the lithe movements of a panther, this Elvis moved with the grace of a pregnant water buffalo.”

• "Elvis is fine, period"

Most reviewers that summer were content to make unflattering comments about Presley’s weight. Few wondered about the potential it posed to his overall health. One who did was Matt Damsker in the  Philadelphia Bulletin :

“His spokesman—tight-lipped and hard to reach at the Hollywood offices of his manager, the iron-handed Col. Tom Parker—insist that Elvis is fine, period. Still, the past year has produced a flurry of items concerning his various hospitalizations: for ‘an intestinal blockage from a twisted lower colon’; for ‘an enlarged colon that interfered with his breathing;’ for ‘flu,’ ‘fatigue’ and ‘exhaustion.’”  

By the end of August, Elvis was completely worn down, or so it seemed to reviewer John H. Anderson in Tuscaloosa:

“After two or three numbers it became painfully obvious that whatever Elvis had in his youth has escaped him in recent years. His outfit included an incredibly large belt and baggy pants, both designed to hide his expanding waistline. His face was puffy and his black-dyed hair was swept back into a middle-aged ducktail. The overall effect was that of a forty-year-old Fonzie with a beer gut. The vocals were disappointing. At times he sound tired. His occasional bursts of energy were short-lived.”

Elvis had five weeks off before starting another tour, this one 14 straight one-nighters, starting in Chicago on October 14, 1976. At first, it appeared Elvis had put his time off to good use. In Chicago, Jack Hafferkamp wrote, “Rest easy, ladies, Elvis is not as fat as you feared … Before he came to town, the gossip columnists had it that ol’ El had turned into a 41 years old butterball. But he fooled us.” And in Duluth, Jim Heffernan observed, “At 41, Presley is amazingly well preserved. He’s a little huskier now, but still trim.”

• "He seems to have matured into a sensitive artist"

With all the past angst about his weight gain, it was heartening to read Connie Trexler’s description of Elvis on October 26 in the  Fort Wayne News-Sentinel !

“Those saddening reports that Elvis had gone fat—in his attitude as well as in body—were probably true, but he seems to have overcome both physical and attitude problems. He seems to have matured into an excellent and sensitive artist. He is an impressive sight. He’s lost all the fat that recently plagued him, and he looks as young and sassy as he ever did.”

Even Robert Hilburn, the respected entertainment writer for the  Los Angeles Times , noted with optimism, “Most importantly, the loss of weight may be a sign of increased discipline that will now carry over into Presley’s recordings.”

And after Scott Cain wrote the following in the  Atlanta Journal  on the last day of 1976, Presley fans might have thought the King  had overcome all of his physical problems:

“There’s good news for Presley fans. Elvis is back in the groove. This Thursday show at the Omni was tops, the best possible year-end present for his Atlanta fans. From a vocal standpoint, Elvis was operating at his peak, both in tonal quality and exertion. He has lost a little weight and looks much healthier than he did last June. His vitality is restored and he was full of pep. Furthermore, he was in a good mood. He was giving his best and knew it, adding a wonderful aura of self-confidence to the show.”

• Elvis brushed aside his manager’s help

Unfortunately, the optimism about Elvis’ health faded quickly in the new year. In his  Miami News  concert review of February 13, 1977, Jon Marlowe described an over-the-hill, overweight idol—and his fans—just going through the motions:

“An Aging Rock Star’s Guide to Concert Appearances: Although your bulging stomach is now hanging half-way over your traditional hips, as soon as you walk out on stage, try shaking them at least once. The audience will give you a standing ovation and scream with sheer delight just for your effort.”

We now know Elvis’ manager was aware that his client’s condition, both physical and emotional, was in decline. When Elvis brushed aside the efforts of the Colonel and other insiders to help him, there was nothing Parker could do but shield Presley’s true condition from the press as best he could. After Elvis’s February 20 appearance in Charlotte, Frank Zupan wrote in the  Columbia Record :

“The 42 year old singer gave the hour and 15 minute performance with a touch of the flu, [a Presley spokesman] said. ‘Due to the fact that he had a virus, he was unable to do all the numbers he wanted to do.’ He said that there was no talk of Presley’s retirement by anyone in the singer’s party. ‘The way Colonel Park and them talk, they look forward to years and years of continued performing for the fans.’”

Although his condition did not improve, Elvis continued to take the stage, even though his illness sapped all the energy from his performance. Elizabeth Roberts wrote of Presley’s show in Alexandria, Louisiana on March 30:

“Presley was on stage less than an hour; he was impossible to understand when he talked between numbers … he never said one word to the audience or mentioned how nice or not nice it was to be in Alexandria or said ‘hi, how are you, we’re going to have a good time tonight and hope you enjoy the show.’ He came on stage, did a few numbers and then dashed off.”

• Cancelled shows … hospital stay … back on the road

The next night, Elvis was unable to go on stage in Baton Rouge. Sold out shows in Mobile, Macon, and Jacksonville were cancelled, and Presley returned home on April 1 and checked into Memphis Baptist Hospital. Four days later he went home, and, incredibly, by April 21 he was back on the road for shows in 11 cities over 12 days.

The first show was in Greensboro, North Carolina, and, according to Jerry Kenison in the  Greensboro Daily News,  Elvis was in no shape to start another grinding tour:

“There was no magic. The tremendous energy, humor, movement and emotion that characterized Presley’s 1972, 1974 and 1975 appearances here just weren’t on the stage much of the time … in general, Elvis moved very slowly, giving the impression that sudden or extreme motion would be painful … No matter how much he seemed to be trying … Elvis’ energy was lagging. He mumbled through ‘Hound Dog,’ seeming not to care. He improvised on other old standards, missing notes here and there.”

While a bout of the flu had been the excuse for a poor showing earlier in Charlotte, it was a “bad cold” that caused Elvis to cut short his show in St. Paul on April 30.  Pioneer Press  writer Charley Hallman reported, “Several times during Presley’s appearance, the singer had to stop for a drink of water and an assistant, Charlie Hodge, stood by with a box of Kleenex for Presley to use. Presley’s early cutoff of the music stunned many of the concertgoers. There was no applause at the end of the show.”

Elvis’ last concerts in May and June 1977, revealed a tired, disinterested superstar apparently just trying to survive the nightly ordeal on stage. For Presley fans, the reviews now are painful to read, knowing what lie just three months ahead. A couple of excerpts:

“Elvis ’77 is paunchy, puffy, lumbering, frequently off-key, apparently under-rehearsed (he has to read the first verse of ‘My Way’ from a page of sheet music) and, for all that, the most outrageously condescending showman I have ever seen. He performed Saturday as if just roused from a drunken slumber, slurred his witless patter as if still slightly in-the-bag, and otherwise gave no sign of artistic integrity. There are dolphins who perform more affectingly. What’s worse his fans don’t mind. They remain adoring and uncritical.”  — Matt Damsker,  Philadelphia Evening Bulletin , May 27, 1977

“Elvis Presley is 42, fat and losing his voice. His once famous bone-grinding wiggle has now shifted to an occasional twitch that leaves the so-called ‘king of rock’ breathless … The songs speak to those who have known deep joy and sorrow. Do they speak to him, an adored millionaire who lives as a recluse—a star who must keep alive the fantasies of millions, though he grows tired, and occasionally ill? The puffy face, the added weight are there, perhaps the toll of years of being what Elvis was marketed to be.”  — Randall Savage,  Macon News , June 2, 1977

• “Elvis, we love you, but please don’t do this to us”

No one saw Elvis’ sad ending as clearly, though, as Ken Williams, who reviewed Presley’s next to last concert in Cincinnati on June 25, 1977. No need to frame his comments. They were a final plea for Elvis to save himself:

“There comes a time when a performer should retire for the sake of his fans as well as for himself. I’m sad to say Elvis Presley has reached that time. Reports of recent Elvis concerts have been disheartening indicating that the King of Rock ’n Roll is dead. Apparently the reports are founded upon truth, and the King confirmed the suspicions with his listless, lifeless performance Saturday night at Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum before another sellout crowd.       

“The King looked awful. Though loyal fans attending the concert with me insisted he has lost weight since last year’s concert, Elvis still has a paunch which could do a Santa Claus suit without needing padding. Ghastly pale, eyelids nearly swollen shut, Elvis tried to exercise his booty as in the golden years. I’ve seen senior citizens with better acts.

“There was an emptiness at the end. Yes, there comes a time when a performer should step down, retire or rest. Elvis, we love you, but please don’t do this to us. We prefer remembering you at your peak, rather than at your funeral. ‘The King is Dead. Long live the King!’”

• Could Elvis’ fans have saved him?

So we come to the heartrending question that accompanies our memories every August 16th. If we had known everything described above, would we, Elvis’ fans, have done everything possible to save him? Sadly, it’s very doubtful.

What Elvis needed in 1976 and 1977 was to stop touring and concentrate on regaining his physical and mental health. He deserves most of blame for what happened to him, of course, but we fans who saw him on stage in his final years will always experience a soul-searching dilemma. To save Elvis, would we be willing to erase our special memories of seeing him perform and hearing him sing? The only thing that would have kept him from the grueling tour schedule that surely contributed to his death would have been if we had refused to attend his shows. Not a chance of that happening.

Shifra Stein, writing in the  Kansas City Times  on June 20, 1977, said it best:

“Urged on and on around the country by fans who rely on his past glories to fuel their image of him, Elvis is like a bull in the ring. He belongs to the crowd—and they refuse to let him go.”

Here's a handy database of dates and events in Elvis Presley's life during 1976. You can also find out what else Elvis was up to in 1976 and in all the years of his life.

January 4: Elvis, girlfriend Linda Thompson, and 17 others fly to Denver after the King decides, on a whim, to vacation there for his 41st birthday. Members of the Denver police force help them find accommodations. January 8: On his birthday, Elvis and company are skiing in Vail, Colorado. Presley, however, uses only a snowmobile, and only at night. President Ford's daughter, Susan, complains, leading the National Enquirer to sniff around and publish bizarre stories of Elvis snowmobiling at night. January 14: Elvis buys three Cadillacs and two Lincolns (worth $70,000 total) for members of his entourage and members of the Denver PD. January 20: When Presley attempts to move Memphis Mafioso Jerry Schilling and his companion out of their rooms in the middle of the night, Schilling, already upset about the King's bizarre mood swings, leaves Elvis' inner circle once and for all. February 3: An increasingly erratic and paranoid Elvis calls Red and Sonny West to his room at Graceland to discuss his plan to murder all Memphis drug dealers. The singer thinks it should be done immediately, as he has the perfect alibi of a scheduled recording session. February 10: The Memphis Police Department makes Elvis Presley an honorary captain. February 13: Having completed work on Graceland's first racquetball court, Elvis draws up plans for a chain of such courts around the country, bearing his name. February 18: Presley returns to Colorado to look for a permanent home but leaves, never to return, when the local police attempt to gently confront him about his mood swings and strange behavior. March 26: Elvis displays his honorary badge at a Memphis multi-car pileup on the Interstate and attempts to help the victims before police and rescue teams arrive. June 16: With the breakdown of Elvis' inner circle, communication with Colonel Tom Parker has become almost nonexistent, leading him to write a personal note to the King wondering what's happened. June 27: Elton John visits Elvis backstage after tonight's show in Landover, MD. Later he would note that the King "already looked like a corpse." July 3: Presley's father, Vernon, who has never trusted Red and Sonny West, abruptly cancels plane tickets for Sonny's family to join him at tonight's show. July 13: By phone, Vernon fires Sonny, Red, and Elvis' last karate guru, Dave Hebler, terminating them with only a week's pay. Though the official reason is economic, Sonny and Red are certain that Vernon has planned this for some time. July 14: Elvis visits Las Vegas with girlfriend Linda Thompson. July 28: After hearing several reports from band members, and seeing tonight's sad results for himself, the Colonel tells Elvis, point blank, that his performances are not what they should be. August 10: Elvis breaks suddenly from his racquetball chain agreement, claiming he only agreed to put up his name, not his money and firing Joe Esposito and Dr. Nick for making the deal in the first place. Baseball star Don Kessenger eventually takes over the business. August 27: Larry Geller, Elvis' spiritual advisor of sorts, rejoins the Mafia for the first time in nine years, with a desperate Colonel -- once dead set against Geller -- hoping this will be a stabilizing influence for the rapidly declining singer. August 28: After horrible reviews of tonight's show, the Colonel calls Dr. Nick back into service to help get Presley back into fighting trim. September 11: Rumors, later proven true, begin surfacing that Red, Sonny, and Dave Hebler are collaborating on a tell-all book about their time with the King. Predictably, this does not help Elvis' mood or his paranoia. October 5: Elvis flies to Los Angeles and authorizes his old private detective, John O'Grady, to approach Red, Sonny, and Dave with a virtual blank check and some seed money for other, new careers, in hopes that they'll kill the book deal. It doesn't work. October 12: Elvis calls Red and attempts to reconcile without actually asking him back into the fold; Red secretly tapes the conversation. October 26: The tabloid The Star , author of Red, Sonny, and Dave's book deal, publishes excerpts of the phone conversation in an attempt to prove that Elvis is addicted to drugs. Presley is shattered. November 19: Memphis Mafioso George Klein visits Graceland with Miss Tennessee, Terry Alden, in a matchmaking attempt, but Elvis falls for Alden's little sister, Ginger, instead. November 20: The nineteen-year-old Ginger and Elvis take their first (chaperoned) date to Vegas, with her parents' permission. November 23: Jerry Lee Lewis visits Graceland very early in the morning and is told that Elvis is asleep. He drives off in a huff but returns after sunrise, invited there by The King himself. Unfortunately, one of Elvis' security guards hasn't been told, and when Jerry Lee is refused permission to enter, he allegedly brandishes a gun and claims he's come to kill Presley. Lewis, who later claimed he was making a sarcastic joke, is promptly arrested. November 29: At Elvis' request, Ginger Alden appears in San Francisco to join Elvis on his current tour. Unfortunately, current girlfriend, Linda Thompson is still there, having ignored Elvis' advice to leave the tour and get some beauty rest. Linda soon leaves, for good. December 5: Elvis falls before tonight's Vegas show and injures his ankle. December 7: Vernon is hospitalized with what appears to be his second heart attack, but which turns out later to be a mere complication of his first. December 10: Elvis flies Ginger's whole family out to the show tonight in an attempt to get her to stay on the tour; however, tonight's Vegas show is marred by tantrums from Elvis, who constantly disparages the sound and, shockingly, the city. December 12: By request, televangelist Rex Humbard visits Elvis in his dressing room after tonight's show to pray with him. A shaken, tearful Elvis begs him to do just that. "Jesus is coming back really soon, isn't he, Rex?" says the King.

Elvis Shows Why He Is Still Tops

By DENISE SIEBENTHAL Sentinel Staff Writer

SAN FRANCISCO ─ Elvis Presley despite the commercialism, screaming women and mirage of blinding flashbulbs that marks his presence ─ proved why he has lasted so long as a prime entertainer at Sunday's Cow Palace appearance.

Music Review

He appeared vaguely aloof from the crowd of mixed ages and sexes that clamored to get near him and catch hold of one of hundreds of scarves he passed out from the stage. Apart from the glitter of diamonds around his neck and fingers, the bodyguards that pushed away grasping hands and the entourage of musicians that crowded his stage, Elvis retains that nonchalant and boyish attitude apparent when he first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. The reason Elvis has lasted so long and has kept such an ardent following is simply because he can sing and entertain. The teen-age idols that tried to mimic him had all the trappings and glamour, but fell to the wayside because they lacked the voice and awesome charisma that Presley possesses. The Cow Palace was packed and everyone ─ young, old, male, female, diehard fan and the simply curious ─ were on the edge of their seats and leaning far forward to get those few extra inches closer to Elvis as he slowly entered the stage.

The roar was deafening. The flash of bulbs was blinding as he turned in each direction to please the camera carriers. His voice was barely audible over the din as he opened with "Sweet Dixie Rider." But that didn't matter, Elvis had arrived. Just the slightest twist of the knee brought cries of ecstasy, but the suggestive movements that earned him the title "Elvis the Pelvis" were absent from the 41-year-old's body. Even the slightly curious and tag-alongs who "couldn't care less about Elvis Presley" got caught up in the madness. But, as he glided through his numbers which included "It's Now or Never," "Jailhouse Rock," "All Shook Up," "Don't Be Cruel," "You Give Me Fever," "Hurt," "Hound Dog" and "Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear," it couldn't be ignored that here was an accomplished singer. It's his voice and his incredible ability to make the audience feel appreciated that has preserved the Presley cult. All the trappings, all the Las Vegas glitter and the multitude of people that come just to see him, don't seem to phrase Presley. The cheers of the crowd indeed make him feel welcome, but that impish boyish grin that he doles out so freely makes the audience feel welcome also. After 20 years of entertaining, Elvis has not forgotten the one item that makes or breaks a star ─ it's the fans that created his success. So, next time Elvis is in town or for the 15 weeks that he'll soon be playing in Las Vegas, stand two or three hours in line to buy an outrageously priced ticket. The king of rock 'n’ roll is well worth the time and money.

By late November 1976 Elvis had become involved with new love Ginger Alden. As fans are aware Elvis’ final 1976 tour of December is well known for having the most energetic and exciting concerts from this tiring and lacklustre year, however back in November Elvis was already more energised, losing weight and excited to be with Ginger.

BITS&PIECES: Not only is Elvis Presley's concert tonight at the Anaheim Convention Center sold out, but his entire Thursday - Dec. 12 engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton is also sold out . . .

The Los Angeles Times. Thursday, December 2, 1976.

POP MUSIC REVIEW

A Less Weighty Elvis Spectacle

BY ROBERT HILBURN

Times Pop Music Critic Between handing out scarves to adoring fans and joking with members of his band, Elvis Presley's appearance Tuesday night at the Anaheim Convention Center continued to be more spectacle than music. But, at least, it was a slimmer spectacle.

Presley, who opens an 11-day engagement tonight at the Las Vegas Hilton, was ─ at perhaps 175 to 180 pounds ─ noticeably trimmer than in his April concert at the Long Beach Arena and far lighter than the Las Vegas appearances of a year ago where his weight was estimated at 225 or more.

Not only did the weight loss make Presley more animated on stage (there was even a rare ─ these days ─ karate kick during "Polk Salad Annie"), but it also enabled him, crucially, to better fulfill visually the requirements associated with the celebration of his past that is very much at the heart of his concerts.

Though Presley continues to have as compelling and evocative a voice as anyone in rock or pop, he rarely challenges himself any more on stage or on record. Except for the "Hurt" single, for instance, everything he did Tuesday night has been in his concert repertoire for years.

While his audiences don't seem to mind the lack of challenge in his work (Presley's concerts are invariably sold out), it sells his own talent short. There are, however, points in virtually every performance where he seems to assert himself, almost as if it were a teasing reminder of what he can do.

At Anaheim, they came during a tender, engaging version of his old "Blue Christmas” and on a nicely spirited treatment of the punchy "That's All Right" that reflected far more of the original, intense Sun Records flavor than he brings to most of his early work. Most importantly, the loss of weight may be a sign of increased discipline that will now carry over into Presley's recordings. He reportedly is set to go back into the studio in January. It could be a moment of truth. The Hilton engagement, incidentally, is already sold out.

Elvis back on tour, but there’s one fan who’ll stay at home

CHICAGO - Elvis Presley on tour is, as usual, the biggest thing happening in pop music, and those who wait in line or who pay outrageous scalper prices are going to see a show that's worth all the inconvenience and money.

If they're going to see how Elvis looks, whether he's older or fatter or thinner of hair, they'll be able to observe every detail through their binoculars. If they are going to recapture the past, they'll enjoy all the old hits that Elvis will sing. If they're out for an evening of smooth spectacle, they'll see the highest paid Las Vegas act of them all.

I'm paying my tribute to Elvis by staying away. I count myself among the Elvis fans to whom he means much more than rock and roll's greatest celebrity. He represents a profound influence, an unconscious turning point that wasn't recognizable until years later. Like so many others, for me Elvis Presley was a vital part of growing up. So why do I stay away, Joe? Let's see Elvis an inspiration "Nothing really affected me until Elvis," said John Lennon, and almost every other rock and roll musician between the ages of 25 and 40 says much the same thing. In interviews with rock stars, the question what first got you interested in music? has virtually only two answers: either the Rock Around the Clock beginning of the movie Blackboard Jungle or Elvis. For those who became musicians, Elvis was a spur, an inspiration, a model. For others of us, Elvis played a different role. My first contact with him was the night the crew of one of my favorite programs, Your Hit Parade, first attempted Heartbreak Hotel. I don't remember whether it was Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, Russell Arms or Giselle Mackenlie, but whoever sang it sounded plain silly. I remember thinking what a stupid song it was. Then I heard the original on the radio and realized that, while it was still stupid, it somehow made sense the way this guy was singing it.

I Want You, I Need You, I Love You and Don't Be Cruel convinced me that this Presley had something special, and when he appeared on the TV variety shows I made sure to watch, out of curiosity at that point. The night he introduced Hound Dog by singing it to a sad-eyed mut on a stool was hilarious, and it became apparent that Elvis was a novelty, something like an early Tiny Tim.

What changed my mind was not a gradual realization of Elvis' gifts, but a sudden onset of allegiance and defiance. They both grew out of simple anger on the evening of Sept. 9, 1956, the night Elvis first appeared on Ed Sullivan's tv show. I don't know whose decision it was to show Elvis only from the waist up, but if the person meant to nullify part of his appeal, the scheme totally backfired.

Became a cause

In addition to the Elvis fanatics, there were many more teen-agers like myself, who liked some of his records and were amused by his TV performances. This blatant censorship made us (1) imagine movements many times more salacious than any he ever made and (2) turn Elvis into a cause, someone whom we especially delighted in because he upset adults so much (as Frank Sinatra did before him and Alice Cooper after).

At this point, I gave in to Elvis and enjoyed him unabashedly. I remember discussions with girls who preferred the clean-cut Pat Boone, who was thrown, up as a counter-Presley for a while. I liked Ain't That a Shame, At My Front Door and, especially, I Almost Lost My Mind, but somehow when Pat turned to Friendly Persuasion Bernardine and April Love, he turned me off.

I didn't mind Love Me Tender, Loving you and Don't, from Elvis somehow. I just sort of ignored them and concentrated on Teddy Bear, Jailhouse Rock and all the the music from King Creole, which I still imagine to be the best movie musical (certainly Elvis' musical best) ever made, though I haven't seen it in years.

Rock took over

No, I didn't grow my hair long and try to dress like Elvis. There was no such thing as Happy Days in the '50s. The greasy-haired enjoyed Elvis, too, I'm sure, but mostly they were just miserable human beings. The majority of students abided by the dress code and tried to be cool. At night, though, whether you were doing homework to the radio or cruising the drive-in restaurants, the music was the same. It was rock and roll taking over the world, and Elvis was its general.

Soon Your Hit Parade was driven off the air. First it tried making fun of the rock and roll songs, but when the top 10 became all rock, it was too much. Ed Sullivan and others continued to patronize rock, although they knew the teenage ratings strength well enough to always serve up the rock stars last, after the jugglers and Senor Winces.

Elvis moved on to Hollywood and began making terrible movies. But what he started continued to spread, and despite the new singers and bands that came on the scene, he was always the king. His Hollywood career came to be considered a period of enslavement. The adults and/or the Establishment was controlling the rough-and-tumble rocker and mass-marketing him. They were choosing all those horrible, schmaltzy songs he was singing and putting him in those embarrassing movie "vehicles."

One of the most disillusioning moments in my life came when I learned that Elvis always did like sentimental, saccharine songs, from the very beginning, and that he himself had chosen many of those terrible things he was singing.

Idealized image

Still, I forgave him that. It made sense to the character I had assigned him: The simple, honest, earthy man of the hills who did everything by instinct and, even though manipulated, could never be corrupted. And perhaps it's because I still cling to this idealized noble save image that I won't go and see him perform.

The one and only time I saw him was a couple of years ago, and while I enjoyed the show, and found myself almost as excited as some of the hysterical women sitting near me, I left the concert thinking about things like my age, Elvis' age, how he looked, his routine with the scarves, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck and other depressing things.

He's the father

Maybe Elvis concerts should be viewed as thought-provoking social phenomena, but not by me. Elvis still means too much to me for that. So I'll stay at home and keep my personal Elvis intact

As I listen to other rock and roll, from hard basic rock to heavy smothering rock to experimental and progressive rock, I'll also continue to hear echoes of Elvis. He is still the father!

November 30, 1976. Anaheim, CA.  Photographed by Elaine Christan (3).jpg

To be honest 1976 is not an easy Elvis live-in-concert year to review. There were no major set-list changes as had happened in earlier years, no dramatic "emotional roller-coaster" of 1974 and no high-flying "Huntsville" 1975 excitements. Apart from the exceptional blast of the final December 1976 Tour (inspired by the challenge of new-young-love Ginger) 1976 in retrospect seems a slow-grind continuing the inevitable downward spiral.

By early 1976 Elvis’ set-list had become routine. I Got A Woman would always feature the JD Sumner double dive-bombing routine, the Introduction and solos would be drawn out with the inclusion of Bass and Drum solos, usually two piano solos plus Early Morning Rain and Love Letters. Hurt and America the Beautiful became the regular dramatic highlights with only the occasional surprise addition ( Danny Boy !) making a real difference.

A true sign-of-the times was that from the 1976 April Tour #17 through to his August Tour #21 Elvis basically wore his "Bicentennial Suit" at every single concert, surely a sign of a bored performer. And that blowsy-shirtsleeves-and-waistcoat look did Elvis no good at all as a cool-looking jumpsuit.

However despite some of his worst concert ever in mid-1976, three months later there was a definite and positive change in the month leading up to Elvis' October 1976 Tour #22 and then in December Elvis would end the year with some of his best performances in a long, long time.

Unfortunately for collectors the number of Elvis soundboards available in good quality increase at a similar rate that Elvis’ performances declined. His tours also got shorter and shorter. This means that if FTD are to release a soundboard from every Elvis tour we will always get more concerts from 1976 than any other year. This is a real shame as there are proportionately far fewer good quality soundboards from Elvis’ sensational early years of touring.

FTD have now released twenty concerts from 1976 - compared to only two from 1971. Go here to see the stats and EIN’s list of FTD/BMG live releases.

Elvis: St Louis / Spokane 1976 - FTD review by Geoffrey Mc Donnell / Piers Beagley

With so many 1976 soundboards already released by FTD, and also available on bootlegs, the idea behind this FTD double-pack seems to be to give us two (mostly) unreleased 1976 performances. And with both of them being “Closing Shows” there is hope that Elvis would be giving that little bit extra.  

Coincidentally Elvis wore his “dark blue Aztec’ suit at both concerts, the only times he would wear it on-tour in the whole of 1976. (Note that Elvis would wear it again twice during his Lake Tahoe season including, yet again, the Closing Show)

But, hey, a ‘bonus’ for both concerts is that Elvis clearly states and actually knows where he is for each performance and at least hasn't yet crashed to the depths of the mid-year disasters.

However by 1976 Elvis’ set-list and shows had become all-too-routine with lengthy and boring “Introductions” plus the ‘I Got a Woman / Amen’ warm-up often running to over 7 minutes, so collectors have to be aware that discovering essential, inspirational, new performances over 40 years later is never really going to happen. 

The MUSIC  

CD1: St Louis, 22nd March 1976 Closing Show. - Attendance 10,200. 52 minutes.

2001 / See See Rider, the first thing to note is that the sound is very good indeed (almost excellent ‘mono’). The audio mix is well balanced and there is a thrill generated by Larrie Londin’s opening drumming, an excitement which reminds one of the ‘Holding Back The Years’ bootleg. In fact it is the difference between Londin’s lighter drum style and Ronnie Tutt’s heavier background power-thump that is the major fascination of this new release.

Elvis comes on sounding ‘ok’ (slightly ‘foggy’) but it’s a very standard opening. At the start of ‘I Got a Woman / Amen’ Elvis sounds tired and there’s no thrill despite the audience obviously lapping it. By 1976 being in the presence of Elvis was enough. The song gets an ordinary J.D. Sumner 'Amen' ending but with no reprise as Elvis wants to get on with the show.

Elvis then welcomes everyone and comments that he has “played the Kiel Auditorium many times before” .

‘Love Me’ is taken at a slower pace than usual and there is a delight in hearing Londin’s light playing and cute drum triplets in the place of Ronnie Tutt’s more routine thump.

‘Let Me Be There’ on the other hand is faster and almost has a false start with Elvis saying, “No wait” but they keep going. In the middle you can hear Elvis saying to a loving fan, “be careful.. whoa, choking..” where I presume she had grabbed his necklace. The crowd is super-enthusiastic with Elvis telling them, “You have to go back to your seats”.

During a routine ‘You Gave Me A Mountain’ Elvis changes a line to “tired of the sound” (later in the concert Elvis actually comments that the on-stage sound is bad). Of real note is that just before the end of the song you can hear where a woman rushes the stage and crashes into Elvis smashing his microphone into his teeth. (This moment is captured on fan video). Elvis continues to the end of the song as the bodyguards pull her off but it obviously throws Elvis. At the end Elvis says with a laugh, “Lord have Mercy, kid! What the matter with you folks?”

Elvis then kicks in to ‘Steamroller Blues’ to recover - and it’s not bad at all with a cool, lazy groove and with Shane Keister ’s bluesier piano to the fore – sounding very different to Glen Hardin. 

Next, during the ‘oldies’ ‘All Shook Up’ / ‘Teddy Bear/Don’t be Cruel’ Elvis’ vocal is rather muted - in fact Elvis does not sound as strong vocally on this particular show as he did the rest of this tour.

‘Heartbreak Hotel’ is better featuring some cool Shane Keister piano and again sounding quite bluesy.

‘Love Me Tender’ “my first song” is also a surprisingly good version quite tenderly sung again matched by Londin’s lighter drumming style.

For 1976 ‘Polk Salad Annie’ is pretty good (while nothing like the classic 1970 versions of course) and Elvis teases the crowd with some karate action and some traditional left / right low knee bends. The rhythm section of Larrie Londin / Jerry Scheff  plus Shane Keister’s piano again help push things along.

The 'Introductions' are slightly ‘edited’ as Sherrill Neilson intro cuts to the end of James Burton playing ‘What’d I Say’ instrumental. Larry Londin’s Drum solo is complete but disappointingly short with Elvis laughing, “Is that it? Thank you Larrie” .  Jerry Scheff plays some blues and new player Shane Keister plays a brief piano instrumental. The regular David Briggs electric piano solo, Charlie Hodge mention and Joe Guercio Orchestra ‘Hail, Hail Rock N’ Roll’ all follow.

Elvis then introduces ‘And I Love You So’ as “from my last album” and it is very nicely sung, another highlight, along with Kathy Westmoreland’s high soprano.

‘Hurt’ should be the concert highlight but instead Elvis gets the words slightly mixed up and it is a truly terrible version. His voice wavers and drifts off-key, no wonder there is no reprise this night.

‘Hound Dog’ is the ‘usual’ throwaway but at least helps mask the tragedy of ‘Hurt’.

‘America’ is introduced, “Since it is our country’s bicentennial year”, and is carefully sung and a decent version.

Elvis then asks for the house lights to be turned up and mentions the Kiel Auditorium “look up there at the rafters” and complains about the sound, “the sound on the stage is weird and we can’t hear ourselves up here at all”.

‘Funny How Time slips Away’ is another highlight with some great jazzy piano courtesy of Shane Keister along with some delightful lighter style Larrie Londin drumming. Very nice and bluesy.

Elvis then says a quick, “Until the next time we see you, God Bless and Adios” before closing with ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ and nearly all the Closing Vamp plus Al Dvorin ‘Elvis has left the building / super concession stands’ announcements.

So while this concert has excellent sound, as a Closing Show it is a disappointing with even the local newspaper review noting, “Elvis was only on stage for 50 minutes”.

It seems highly likely that the woman crashing into Elvis banging the microphone into his teeth would have stopped his usual end-of-the-tour positive mood. This show was after all the shortest show of this tour and probably the least interesting.

Dick Grob (RIP) in his 2016 book ‘Safe & Sound’ noted that after this concert Elvis asked him to tell Col Parker not to schedule a St Louis show again.

To be honest if you already have the 21st March 1976 Evening Show ( ‘Holding Back the Years ’) sadly this all too short concert offers you nothing new. Uultimately it is a pretty short and fairly ordinary show, which is more or less exactly what newspaper reviews noted at the time.

Note that despite a spare 27 minutes, which could have featured the first part of the Johnson City soundboard for instance, we get nothing ‘extra’.

CD2: Spokane, 27th April 1976. Closing Show. Attendance 7,000. 71 minutes.

Again this cd opens with the full 2001 Theme before opening riff and See See Rider. While the sound quality and audio mix is ‘good’, unfortunately it is less bright and more muffled compared to St Louis. Note that there is an obvious edit in See See Rider but we are not sure why and you can also immediately note that Ronnie Tutt is back thumping those drums!  

Also worth noting is that Tony Brown now replaced Glen Hardin on piano and would stay with the TCB band until the very end. 

Elvis sounds ‘ok’ if just ‘slightly sleepy & thick-tongued’. Looking at a fan in the front row Elvis asks, “I wonder if I saw her last time I was here” and obviously in good humour laughs, “You paid to see this? You could have stayed at home and watched Policewoman”. (EIN Note: Policewoman was an Angie Dickinson Cop show that was shown on Tuesdays @9pm had finished its recent season on March 9th )

‘I Got a Woman / Amen’ is very extended by Elvis and made longer by Elvis requesting the J.D. ending be repeated, “He can do it better, He thinks he is back in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium, or whatever the name of the Grand ole Opry place is!” (Ain’t it funny.... what comes into Elvis’ mind at times!)

Elvis notes that the last time he was in Spokane was 3 years ago and asks the audience to pay NO attention to the announcer who previously had asked fans to “stay in your seats and sit there until you die… like a Mortician’s Convention”. This is perhaps the first sign that it was a Closing Show and Elvis was up for some fun.

‘Love Me’ is a quite slow  - you can sure feel Ronnie Tutt back slamming the beat - and a lengthy version, 1 minute longer than usual, with lots of fan interaction “C’mon here baby” and a very long held final note.

Elvis then says “I caught the creeping crudd last night in Seattle”, and Elvis has a lot of fun with a woman in the front who was screaming, “Elvis kiss me please, please, please..”   (Seattle was a 70 minute plane flight away)

‘If You Love Me ’ had been basically dropped off the set-list since summer 1975 replaced with ‘Let Me Be There’ but was back this tour. Tonight it is very routine and performed at a fairly pedestrian pace.

Afterwards Elvis interacts with a fan who he discovers is pregnant and then dedicates the following song to her… ‘You Gave Me A Mountain’ is sung sincerely and is quite a good version, even for 1976 with Elvis in fine vocal form.  You can hear Elvis urging the band along, “hey, hey, hey” a good sign.

The required oldies ‘All Shook Up’, ‘Teddy Bear / Don’t Be Cruel’ are also sung better than the usual 1976 throwaway versions. After Elvis jokes, “My nose is running, ain’t nothing unusual about that! I’m human!”

‘Trying to Get to You’ is another treat for the fans tonight with Elvis putting in some cool vocal runs as he obviously enjoyed this sun classic.

‘America’ tonight is ‘ok’ but not as good as the St. Louis version.

‘Polk Salad Annie’ is fairly average, although I am sure fine for Elvis’ loving audience. Afterwards Elvis explains that he did not perform the usual “deep knee bend” as the last time he had ripped his suit. Perhaps providing an easy excuse for a poorer than usual version.

If fans were paying to be in the PRESENCE of their icon then extending the concert by adding 11 minutes of band introductions might have been fine. However listening to them 40 years later, even with the included short solos, is not such a good experience. 

The Introductions here last for more than twice the length of the St Louis ones and are ‘Boring’. It seems everyone had to be introduced individually while the solos are nothing you’d listen to again. Tonight Elvis comments on his band wearing different coloured stage suits “Did you guys get into an argument?” and says he is surprised David Briggs is wearing anything at all!

Elvis introduces piano player Tony Brown piano player who is “new with us”, in fact this was only his eighth concert of the 180 he would eventually play with the TCB band.

The only enjoyable part is actually when David Briggs plays ‘Jingle Bells’ as his solo with all the band joining in. This was obviously an arranged Closing Show joke which does actually throw Elvis off course! He laughs and stutters, “The band has been sniffing coal or charcoal, there’s something wrong with this group!” (as opposed to ‘coke’?). Funny stuff

Back on track ‘My Way’ is a pretty decent version (for late 70s) and is performed seriously. Interestingly, although memorable for being included in Aloha, Elvis very rarely performed this classic in 1973, 74 or 75. Elvis would re-introduce the song on this 1976 tour and would only start singing it at every show in 1977 - a bit sad when you consider the lyrics.

Elvis unfortunately messes up the lyrics of the first verse of ‘Burning Love’ but otherwise it is also pretty fine and with Elvis obviously digging the band and great soulful backing vocals.

Elvis’ brand new single ‘Hurt’ should be a concert highlight but ends up being a rather average version with Elvis cancelling the suggested reprise “want to do it again?” just as he is about to start with, “Nah, hold it” .

Instead he gets the house lights turned up and showing some last-night humour jokes about a recent newspaper report, “I woke up one morning and I heard on the news I was married to somebody!” and also laughs, “If you give us a good reception everyone gets a Cadillac tonight too”.

A regular ‘Funny How Time Slips Away’ follows including the added J.D. Sumner deep-bass reprise. Interesting to check the difference between Ronnie Tutt’s regular “slam” to Larrie Londin's lighter touch. 

‘How Great Thou Art’ was a concert highlight in 1976 and tonight’s version doesn’t disappoint with a strong, positive vocal effort and two “how great, how great” s exclaimed before the finale making it an impressive addition.

The inevitable ‘Hound Dog’ is a crowd-pleaser throwaway before Elvis gets serious with his loving fans mentioning his couple of recent hospital visits as being “nothing serious, just minor things. There’s a lot of rumours, they are not true”. Although he sounds a little more like he is trying to convince himself than assuring his fans. 

With “If you want us to come back, just let us know because we’d love to come back, we really enjoyed it” he then closes with ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’.

Elvis performed to his Spokane fans four times in his lifetime, sadly they would never get the chance to see him again.

FTD first released ‘America’, Omaha April 22nd from this tour (see EIN review here) and although it did not have great sound there seems little reason to hunt down this additional, lesser show.

Geoff McD adds , “Having said that, there is some humour and good moments in this show and it is possible that FTD could release more shows from this tour - both Kansas City and Seattle are ‘very good  and lengthy shows’ and deserve a release.”

Piers B adds, “OMG, please, no more routine 1976 shows with 7 minute ‘I Got A Woman / Amen’ versions and way-too-overlong Introductions !  That’s enough. The missing 1976 Lake Tahoe season and the final Las Vegas season is all we need.”  In his book ‘Safe & Sound’ Dick Grob says he took friends to see the San Diego show on 24th April and sat near Bruce Jackson and the mixing desk. Fans would agree that while Elvis had put on weight, compared to March, in April 76’ he SANG better!

After 3 days rest Elvis opened with a solid opening Lake Tahoe season show on April 30th, but this may be the closest we get to hearing him perform at that Tahoe 76 Season from FTD.

Overall Verdict: Finding something worthy to discover in previously unreleased Elvis performances from 1976 has to be a tough call. Nearly every concert was the same format and they only got worse mid-year before the final power-blast of his late December shows. Having paid US$34 for this double FTD I did enjoy hearing the “different beat” of Larrie Londin in the St Louis show and with Elvis and the band in fine humour at the Spokane Closing Show it also has its moments. However apart from those little highlights Elvis basically puts out some “OK” performances adding nothing out of the ordinary. Hearing unreleased concerts in fine audio quality is still a collector’s dream and FTD eventually had to release one concert from Elvis’ first tour of the year - so they are still working-for-the-man . However if 1976 isn’t your Elvis-bag then these unheard concerts cannot be flagged as essential - unless you are a hard-core collector.

As fans are aware Elvis' final 1976 tour of December is well known for having the most energetic and exciting concerts from this tiring and lacklustre year, however back in November Elvis was already more energised, losing weight and excited to be with Ginger.

  10. 'The West Coast Tour '76'- FTD CD. EIN in-depth review

    1976 is not an easy Elvis live-in-concert year to review. There were no major set-list changes, no dramatic "emotional roller-coaster" of 1974 and no high-flying "Huntsville" 1975 excitements. By late November 1976 however Elvis had become involved with new love Ginger Alden.

  14. ''Elvis: St. Louis and Spokane' 1976- FTD CD. EIN in-depth review

    A true sign-of-the times was that from the 1976 April Tour #17 through to his August Tour #21 Elvis basically wore his "Bicentennial Suit" at every single concert, surely a sign of a bored performer. And that blowsy-shirtsleeves-and-waistcoat look did Elvis no good at all as a cool-looking jumpsuit.

    The very first concert I attended was an Elvis Presley concert on July 23, 1976, at Freedom Hall in Louisville, KY. I was 12 years old and had been an Elvis fan for as long as I could remember---my mom had been a lifelong Elvis fan, and I grew up listening to Elvis. We completely wore out our 8-track tape version of Elvis's Aloha from Hawaii album.
