Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in MemphisReactions
This song should have never even been considered for Song Of The Day since Elvis only sang a couple of lines of it. I'll never count this song as a song that Elvis officially recorded. This is a good song though.
Elvis used a snippet of this song as part of a good medley that was a included in a great concert.
Good concert, horrible medley. Elvis once again rushing through some rock and roll songs, trying to get it over & done with. Phony and insincere. Blink and you miss it.
5 stars for the medley, from one super concert, damn he gave a lot of those every year from 69-77, my favorit concert years are in this order; 70,75,69,74,72,71,76,77, every year had its highlights.
No this does not qualify as a song - has to be at least about a minute duration for me to rate and comment on its merits.
Great rock 'n' roll medley, but why pay Loggins/Messina for a few lines off their song?
Part if a great medley from one helluva' good concert!!
It's not a recording of a 'song', it's part of a medley. We should be giving remarks on the 'medley'. Now, it was great.
Great line from a good medley and his best live LP.
Elvis did some short songs in his life...but is this a "RECORD" LOL.
Two lines of a song as part of a medley as song of the day? Nah, doesnt count for me.
