Elvis recorded live on stage in Memphis

"Presley made sure he was prepared for the occasion, running through much of the set two days prior the March 18 Memphis concert at the Richmond Coliseum. [Comprising a two-disc, 52-track set, the 2014 Legacy Edition of Recorded Live on Stage contains that concert as its second disc (this second disc also has five very relaxed, very spare, quite appealing rehearsals from August 1974, cut just prior to an appearance in Vegas) and it's quite a bit different in tenor than the released record; it's loose and rollicking, with Elvis and the TCB band feeding off the energy of an exuberant audience".

"At first, the entire production seems vaguely haughty, what with its big arrangements, its horns and its ample back-up singers. And Presley's vocals, while never anything less than capable, sound listless, even lazy. If, however, you spend some time living with this record, you'll begin to feel very differently about it. Those first impressions will change shape. What once sounded haughty will sound simply confident. What once sounded lazy will sound lived-in and casual. You'll come to relish those admittedly small, momentary flashes of Presley's virtuosity, and you'll actively enjoy the easy-going professionalism that is the album's hallmark".
