Concert: Tour 9 which lasted from March 1 till March 20, 1974 and which was made up of a total of 24 shows developed to one of the most favourite and so the March 17, 1974 ES is a good choice and a great addition to any "live" collection. Elvis is in top condition and delivers a top show. His home audience went nuts from the beginning and a move with his little finger caused riots in the hall. The super star had everything under his control and he knew how to twist the crowd around his little finger. Among the many highlights are song like: Trying To Get To You, Steamroller Blues, Help Me, An American Trilogy or That's All Right.
