Elvis decides to play guitar on this closer and tells the audience he “only knows three cords”. A woman jokes to him “that’s about it.’ Elvis responds to her “That’s about it” and she laughs. Elvis proceeds to begin ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT as a male fan screams RECONSIDER BABY. We splice into the soundboard as the song begins. Elvis does a false start of ARE YOU SINCERE and then proceeds to mess some lines and a classic moment with the Sweet Inspirations involving the words. Elvis then tries it again, Elvis sounds very tired – but this slow ballad actually is good for Elvis. The spoken words on this version is as bad as June 21, 1977 – although the “gay routine” was in full effect here which saves this version a little bit since it was comedy.
