Elvis was real fired up after he met Ginger. He lost some weight. His shows started getting real good again. Two nights before New Year’s Eve 1976 he came offstage and I said, “That’s the best show you ever done.” And he said, “Wait ’til tomorrow night.” Well, that one was even better, and when I told him so, he said, “Wait ’til tomorrow night,” again. Well, that was the night of the New Year’s Eve show in Pittsburgh, and it probably was the best show he ever did give. And that’s what I told him when he came off, and he just kinda nodded and didn’t say anything. It was like he knew he’d never do a show that good again, and he never did.
