“My brother, David, and I left Toronto for Syracuse, New York expecting to see three shows (two in Syracuse, one in Rochester), but hoping for four as the first show of our short tour was on a Sunday, and Elvis might do a matinee. When we arrived, we learned he would not.

Although he would return in two days, it’s surprising that the Colonel had not consented to a matinee and free up Tuesday for another city -- but it came to be known later that Elvis was really not up to performing two shows in one day. A matinee would often suffer and would usually be shorter.

This auditorium featured a fixed stage at one end of the building, with no seats behind Elvis or on the very sides of the stage – very unusual. Curtains draped the edges of the stage, and we couldn’t see Elvis until he was on the stage.

The show was good, though Elvis seemed to be really more interested in interacting with his back-up singers and musicians. The show suffered with what some have described as the ‘quick close syndrome – only three or four songs after a lengthy break for introductions, resulting in Elvis only singing for 5 to 7 minutes, though it often included the highlight of the show - HURT.

I was disappointed with this show after having seen the opening show of the previous tour in Buffalo, but perhaps the following two days would be better…”
