ELVIS PRESLEY
Hurt First Time In Johnson City [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Freedom Hall, Johnson City, Tennessee; March 17, 1976. Mix of soundboard and audience recordings. Very good audio.
Benny Patrick of the Johnson City Press-Chronicle:
No doubt about it. Elvis Presley is still the king. Forty-one years old and though far from fat, definitely heavier than his posters and promotional photos would have you believe, Elvis still packs them in. The amazing thing about it is that with tickets priced at $10 and $12.50, Elvis still puts on a show that gives the audience its money’s worth. Persons leaving last night’s concert at Freedom Hall Civic Center didn’t complain about the price of the tickets, much less the quality of the show…
Last night’s performance was a far cry from the mid-1950s performances, with the exception that Elvis gave the audience what it came for. The concert was more like an entertaining Billy Graham revival than any of the rock concerts that have been help at the Civic Center recently. In comparison to performances by current rock groups, the Elvis show was unbelievably clean-cut. And his gyrations seemed mild, indeed, after, for instance, the antics of Alice Cooper. He even did a version of America The Beautiful with a recitation.
Thanks to mjs820 for sharing the tracks at Dime.
mjs820 noted: “I boosted the volume 3.5 dB on the right channel of the audience tracks to more closely match the left. I also removed a very tiny blip between 2:06 and 2:07 of Track 26 and added a slight fade-down to the end of the last track.”

Thank you. This is sad, but there are still a few moments that remind you why Elvis is The King.

I have tried to listen to Elvis’s 70’s concerts but the performances are mostly uninspired and lacklustre, and the set-list always leaves a lot to be desired. His “Comeback Special” was the pinnacle to my ears.

unfortunately it was a slow decline after the majestic height of the ‘68 comeback.
