“My brother, David, a friend from our local church, Stephen Peslar, and I drove to Buffalo on Friday, June 25 to

see the first show of a new tour.

Buffalo was less than a two-hour drive from Toronto, and there was no difficulty finding the “Aud.” We searched for tickets. I felt the added pressure of needing to find THREE tickets.

It was a very good show. I heard many songs live for the first time, with the highlights being two complete versions of HURT, AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL, and performances of both POLK SALAD ANNIE and BURNING LOVE not often done in the same show.

It was also the first time I heard the extended AMEN following I GOT A WOMAN, which of course years later, and dozens of soundboards later, not a highlight anymore. Elvis also performed a new song for me tonight - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (to Barbara).

This performance stands out as one of my favorites of the twenty-nine I saw. It was a really wild crowd (so many Canadians), and I think Elvis was surprised at their reaction to him. I miss seeing him in person. Always exciting, always fun, and always entertaining. A real joy. So long ago…”
