    Just Think

    This time 31 years ago Elvis was getting back into fighting shape with his weight decreasing and was doing some really great shows and preparing for another tour..especially those toward the end of November in Anaheim and others..makes me want to play some of those concerts sometime..

    Imo, these shows from that November tour in '76 were about as good as those shows from that last tour in December..Solid as a rock, just my opinion.

    Mmmm sorry BradM I dont see that he was getting into "fighting shape" He may have been slimmer but he was not in good health then either. He sounded great but he usually did. Fighting shape is TTWII. Then I could agree. Just my opinion.

    re

    I find it great to see how he looked in late 1976.
    He was more slimmer than in years before and he sounded great,compared to the summer of 1976.I think Elvis was in much better health than the summer...you also could see that in the concerts he gave with more numbers and longer concerts...

    Ahh Atlanta was just as great my friend

    I just wish that a better tape of that show would surface, I'm pretty positive that the only one that exist or that we have is incomplete, almost every song is that is, and the sounds not so good, but you can make out everything. You also can't forget the rare performance of "Such A Night"..brilliant imo..atleast we have very good footage of the majority of the show..

    I own the footage of this show,and I love it.
    Can watch it every day,think he looked great and his voice was great and most of all you can see he was having a good time on stage.
