Elvis in 1977 is certainly not Elvis at his best. This Cd only lasts for about 30 minutes, and doesn't bring real interesting stuff, so we can keep it short on this one. The sound is only fair for a '77 recording. It seems Elvis sleepwalks through Love Me,  the fairytale gets stopped by Elvis after only 30 seconds with the remark 'I blew it'. Next is If you love me, Let me know; only a fair performance. There is some feedback during You gave me a mountain, which makes Elvis jokingly sing 'this time you gave me some feedback', and Elvis changes some words which makes him laugh. Heartbreak Hotel is very weak hearted. There are several microphone problems, which doesn't benefit to the show. The songs Big Boss Man and My Way do make this disc worthwhile. Total conclusion: a performance driving on routine.  Nothing more and nothing less.
