About this listen

It's October twenty-seventh, and on this day in 1976... Elvis Presley performed at the Southern Illinois University Arena in Carbondale, Illinois, marking the final show of a two-week tour that grossed over one million dollars. Wearing the Inca Gold Leaf jumpsuit with a Chinese Dragon belt, Elvis delivered a powerful and wide-ranging set to more than ten thousand fans. Though the profits from the tour were split two-thirds to Colonel Parker and one-third to Elvis, the show itself reflected the King's enduring magnetism and vocal strength even in the final stretch of a grueling tour.
