Hi there :hmm:

I just listened to "Coming on strong" from 1976 and after Hound Dog Elvis is getting a gift from someone and he says "oh for me? for a girl? For Lisa? Or Kathy?" (just repeated it from my mind) and Kathy is getting it and pulling it over or something? :hmm:

And everyone was laughing and he said "you?re in it and can?t get off" ... :hmm:

Can you help me? What does he get? Is there any footage? Or something?

Pleaaaaaaaase :notworthy

Isn't "coming on strong" a '77 cd.

Yes, it is. I believe that was some kind of top--a blouse or something that was given to Elvis by a fan.

It was apparently intended as a gift for Lisa, but Elvis mused that it might be too big for Lisa and that Kathy should try it on, but it sounds like it was too small for Kathy. Pretty funny how the band broke into some striptease music as she was struggling to take it off.

The performance that followed that lightheated scene was a very memorable one: Where No One Stands Alone, an ultra-rare and impassioned performance of that song, one that definitely meant something to him at that time...

Like a king I may live
In a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone

Great stuff!

Hi there, the performance was in Montgomery on the 16th February 1977, and it was a pair of shiny red trousers Elvis received from the audience.

Here's a photo from the show with Elvis holding the gift (y)
