    Yeah, that always gave me the willies. Only kidding. By the way, I'm glad that you called it a "scene" rather than an "act" which I've seen elsewhere and seems to...well, I'll let that go.

    ...you won't forget me when I go.

    That was a really funny clip Matt...thanks for posting. I always wondered what was going on between Elvis and Charlie in the pictures of that time.

    Charlie teased and aggravated Elvis all through both songs. Some of his expressions reminded me of Marty Feldman without the "googly" eyes. I think I saw Elvis move his elbow at Charlie at one point to make him quit. You have to give Elvis credit for being able to continue on with the songs.

    Thanks Matt,

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    Charlie was always there to put a smile on Elvis when he needed it most ! I find it surprising how Elvis remembered about all of the dialogue from the song but in Omaha and Rapid City he didn't say most of the speaking parts...but he looked worse here as in Omaha....

    Wonder what rehearsal he was referring to when he said they had a rehearsal earlier this week..but I didn't show up...Were they probably going to rehearse for the upcoming filming by CBS you think Matt?

    Not sure, but the show looks to be from June 77.... so possibly?

    The other thing is why didn't Elvis and Charlie do this routine in the CBS show?

    Not sure it was pretty funny watching this clip could've atleast added some good laughs for the CBS Special...

    They do this scene in EIC also. It was a funny routine but "Gay" no.

    I didn't think it was funny seeing Elvis forget the words to a song he had been singing for so many years...quiet sad actually..

    .

    This was always undignified on so many levels.

    The whole gay overtone, and Charlie acting a mic stand.

    Ugh ...

    He was referring to rehearsals in general. By this time, Elvis never rehearsed at all.

    Probably because he was being filmed for a television special. Thank God that they didn't do it....it would've been very embarrassing......

    Agreed.....on both counts. There was a mic stand there for the guitar...why not a mic stand with a boom for Elvis to use?

    Very unprofessional if you ask me.....
