Concert: February 13, 1977: The concert is decent with Elvis being in good form vocally. He showed interest in delivering a solid performance so that his crowd got something worthwhile for its money in return.

Concert: February 16, 1977: The concert is decent with Elvis being in good form vocally. He showed interest in delivering a solid performance so that his crowd got something worthwhile for its money in return. The proof is an unusual live rendition of Where No One Stands Alone in Montgomery. Excellent !

February 21, 1977: A good show with a varied setlist. Elvis was in a hilarious mood and gave an entertaining concert.
We get the chance to hear the rare Reconsider Baby along with the only full version of Moody Blue. Very nice!
Also That`s All Right, My Way and Release Me are welcome additions and very well performed.
The audience witnessed a decent show.

Concert: May 3, 1977: This was the last concert on tour 27, and the second show in Saginaw in 8 days.

Elvis obviously wanted to do something a bit different from the earlier show, as he opens with 'That's All Right' instead of 'See See Rider'. He also has a 30 seconds - not so successful - attempt on 'Trouble' (from King Creole) and sings 'Happy Birthday' before launching into the regular setup. However, Elvis ends the show with the very last version of 'Mystery Train / Tiger Man. This specific version is in BMG vaults !
