I'm wondering the same thing Cameron. I'm sure Elvis and his dad didn't make a big deal out of Fathers Day, I'm sure Elvis got him luxerious gifts etc. But Elvis didn't have that close connection with his father, not nothing like he did with his mom, but I think he tried to understand his daddy as much as he could.

Lastnight on Sirius they had the original RCA album Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden playing since it was this week 36 years ago that historic concert took place. Boy was it nice to hear that show again, nothing imo really beats those June '72 shows.

That is correct. Colonel was letting Elvis know it was hard for him to get in contact with him...shows Elvis mind frame at this time..few weeks later would be the infamous firing of the body gaurds as well.

This concert and the one held the day before were below standards for an Elvis Presley concert. Althogh Fairytale and How Great Thou Art were done with power and grace IMO!

Here's Big Boss Man from this concert...it would also be the last time the song were ever performed live I believe and the last time the King Of Spades aka 1974 Arabian suit would ever be worn..If you listen closley at the beginning of the show (not included in this footage) elvis joes with the audience saying that had a rehearsal this week, but I skipped it.
