Το συγκεκριμένο τρίπτυχο αποτελούμενο από τα ‘Dixie’, ‘All My Trials’, ‘The Battle Hymn Of The Republic’, ηχογραφημένο στο Las Vegas Hilton Hotel to 1972, κυκλοφόρησε σαν single, χωρίς να συμπεριληφθεί ποτέ σε στουντιακό άλμπουμ του Elvis. Υπήρξε ένα από τα high lights των συναυλιών του της δεκαετίας του ’70. 🟡 🟡 This medley, comprising ‘Dixie’, ‘All My Trials’, ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’, recorded live at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel in 1972, was released as a single. It was never featured on any of Elvis’s studio albums and went on to become one of the standout highlights of his ’70s live performances.

DIXIE
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
Because Dixieland, that’s where I was born
Early, Lord, one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
ALL MY TRIALS
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
You know your daddy’s bound to die
But all my trials, Lord, will soon be over
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

The medley got a bit bombastic for my taste. I think he delivered “Dixie” the best.
I confess : I’m totally defenseless when it comes to Elvis! 🥹😃
