For three days Elvis made his headquarters in Baton Rouge/Louisiana, where he was scheduled to perform at the Assembly Center of The Louisiana State University in front of 13,000 people on March 31st. On the two previous days he was booked at the Rapides Parish Coliseum in Alexandria, where he performed at 8:30 pm each day. Both concerts were sold out with 15,000 fans each and vaguely generated 330,000 USD. On March 29th he was flown from Baton Rouge to Alexandria and stayed in his plane until the pre-show was over. After the concert he was driven back to the airport and returned to Baton Rouge. For the show Elvis wore the "Mexican Sundial Suit".

Today the sound engineer saved tape by leaving out "Also Sprach Zarathustrra", "See See Rider", "I Got A Woman" and "Love Me". Of course he also wouldn't record the "Introductions". The recording starts right before Elvis sings the first words of "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)". It's not a bad performance, but it's a rather subdued affair.

The same applies to the verses of "You Gave Me A Mountain", but here Elvis tries to beef up the choruses by belting out a few lines.

Elvis presents the title song of his third movie well, during the second verse he has to laugh.

As usual Sherrill Nielsen sings "O Sole Mio" before the king presents "It's Now Or Never", but right after he has started to sing Sherrill accidently drops his microphone and causes a loud noise. Elvis has to laugh and quips "I thought it was a gunshot". Obviously the king wants to present the medley as it was planned and so he asks Sherril to repeat his performance before he presents his biggest selling record.  It's a nice rendition, especially the finale is impressive.

Up next is a grooving rendition of "Little Sister". Elvis seems to like it since he repeats a part of the song. It's always great to see, how his band is able to react to every whim of their boss. He just has to say "one more" and the guys seamlessly lengthen the song.

Jokingly the king provokes a couple of false starts. Then he launches into his hit medley and uses it to throw a ton of scarfs into the audience. Vocally it's nothing to write home about.

During this tour the king has rediscovered the classic rock'n'roll track from his first longplayer. He delivers the usual performance. Not all that rockin', but a nice reminder of the good ole' days.

Up next is "Fever". He cleverly makes the ladies scream by moving his legs, at one point he jokingly pretends to have lost control over them. In total it's an entertaining affair.

As written before, the "Introductions" were not recorded. Instead of continuing with "Hurt" Elvis surprises the band by asking JD Sumner & The Stamps to sing "Why Me Lord". As he had done on his album "Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis" three years ago, he joins the group for the chorus and obviously likes to be a part of the group. He also tries to make his bass singer laugh during the verses.

Now Elvis even goes a step further and asks the guys to sing the classic "Bosom Of Abraham", aka "Rock My Soul". Instead of singing in his usual baritone voice Elvis acts as the bass singer. It's almost like watching a private jam session!

The group continues with another gospel. Once again Elvis sings bass, the lead vocals are provided by Charlie Hodge. In the past the king has staged these two gospel songs twice. The first time was in Uniondale/New York in the summer of 1975, the second time was last December in Las Vegas.

Elvis stays with religious songs and presents the gospel hymn "How Great Thou Art". He doesn't hold the notes as long as on his live album from 1974 and also sounds less powerful. But what remains still sounds impressive!

As expected one cannot say something similar about "Hound Dog". Of course the audience loves it, but they also would be happy watching him picking his nose for an hour.

Elvis bows out with a quick "Thank you. ladies and gentlemen" and segues straight into "Can't Help Falling In Love". The band plays the "Closing Riff" and the king is gone.
