I wonder, what was his condition at this concert? does he sleepwalk thru it or in a good mood or? I see a couple of false starts, so maybe he was on the ball or pissed off?

This opening night was fantastic with Elvis being in high spirits...definitely one of the best concerts from this stand with granted many ups and downs..he did I Just Can`t Help Believing 5 years ago for the last time so this is a real highlight and they hadn`t rehearsed it before..! He really enjoyed every minute from the over 100 he was on stage... .we have a fine setlist and even his oldies get a fair treatment..
