Elvis In Alabama 2 x CD Set from FTD | Elvis Presley (Elvis Presley in Huntsville on September 6, 1976)

The FTD release 'Elvis In Alabama' (Last Double Date) is a two concert set containing soundboard recordings (mixing desk) of the afternoon and evening shows in Huntsville on September 6, 1976 and includes America The Beautiful, Love Letters, School Day, Hurt, Danny Boy and Blue Christmas.

During the afternoon show Elvis sang the strong versions of Fairytale, And I Love You So, Polk Salad Annie and Love Letters, all outstanding performances.

The evening show Elvis again does strong versions of Fairytale, And I Love You So whilst Fever and Jailhouse Rock seems better than 'usual' Sadly Elvis forgets the words during the spoken part of America the Beautiful -an obvious flaw/lack in concentration (and later says so, saying it's been a long day) Hurt is a tremendous HIGHLIGHT as for the only time this tour he sings the reprise up much higher!, and then playing guitar That's All Right and Blue Christmas are well sung too. Just before closing Elvis says : 'be careful going home, it's a holiday weekend'. Just before Mystery Train Elvis tells a girl (who had been yelling all through Blue Christmas) to put tape over her mouth! It's a pretty 'upbeat' show and a much more 'enjoyable' show compared to Tuscaloosa or Macon. After the show Elvis flew to Pine Bluff , but upon awaking during the afternoon was annoyed by very noisy fans outside the hotel.
