1976 wasnt the best year for elvis performance wise or personally but you know when you play any show from 1976 you can always count on a good version of Mountain....

its all a matter of opinion..yes some 76 performances were weak..but many were good .....after aloha..it ALL DEPENDED ON WHAT KIND OF MOOD ELVIS WAS IN including heatlh wise ....AND THATS HOW THE CONCERT WOULD TURN OUT1976 wasnt the best year for elvis performance wise or personally but you know when you play any show from 1976 you can always count on a good version of Mountain....

Agreed pal and its ashame the good shows from 76 always get overlooked because of some reason and its ashame. because we have much great stuff like the march tour, oct and nov and dec tours, vegas had some really good shows, the tahoe season was really great too...but none of that gets credit it deserves.its all a matter of opinion..tes some 76 performances were weak..but many were good .....after aloha..it ALL DEPENDED ON WHAT KIND OF MOOD ELVIS WAS IN including heatlh wise ....AND THATS HOW THE CONCERT WOULD TURN OUT

I go for the emotion he puts in the 1977 versions

Which is why I say 1977 is my favorite year for concerts. The emotion in the voice. Amazing.

We will miss you dearest friend
your avatar is awesome
sure the 77 versions are the ones i like the most
What do you all think of Frankie Laine's version of Mountain.
I find it very darn cool and so emotional ...sad
But I really love it.
