Won't play for me ("video is private") but I've got this clip probably six times over, through the years; all the November '71 tour shows were insane in terms of how frenetic Elvis was on stage, and on this clip he is fooling around a lot and really getting into it. That tour was probably one of the best he did, I think, because he still was overburdened with energy (more so than in Vegas both times that year, for that matter), was wearing the iconic studded suits with wide belts and capes, and was really, really acting like he'd been uncaged and let loose to play to his REAL constituency. Great setlists, too (perhaps rivaled later only by the November, '72 tour setlists, though Elvis moved around way less than usual kn that tour, for some reason). "Elvis On Tour" is a fantastic record of Elvis in early '72, but I've always thought that if they'd been able to shoot it on the November ''71 tour it'd be even more unreal and captivating.
