    You will have to ADD the 15th February 1973 also
    Elvis Only did one show that night. The show he did do
    he left the stage for 20 minutes, leaving Charlie Hodge in Charge.

    The Stamps did a lot of gospel numbers, Elvis came back
    and closed the show, with the curtain only a few feet from his
    head, he started waving to have the curtain stopped,
    The house lights came up, and the curtain eventually was raised back
    up into the ceiling

    Elvis did 3 more songs, including Faded Love, and then CANT HELP
    FALLING IN LOVE a second time, he still had the cape on from the
    first CHFIL to the 2nd.

    So at this show he CLOSED THE SHOW TWICE, even if it was a short show.

    Another interesting note: This is One of Two shows that Elvis did not
    Introduce the group this season. (would be a good reason to release it
    on a FTD CD with the wonderful closing night show on the 23th Feb.

    My source is my being at the show, they actually made the announcement
    when people were waiting for the 1st show to start, that Elvis' doctors
    had asked him not to go on, but Elvis had decided to do that one show
    that night.

    Sorry you are right it was 5 when he came back. (after the 20minutes away)

    The souce you are quoting from has a lot of things wrong in it..

    I have some doubt of the ones listed, and others may have been cancelled
    so its probably more than you read about. (will post more info shortly)

    Do you have an orig tape and orig film from the 15th Feb .??

    I have over 2+ hours I personally shot at this season...
