1976 is not an easy Elvis live-in-concert year to review. There were no major set-list changes, no dramatic \»emotional roller-coaster\» of 1974 and no high-flying \»Huntsville\» 1975 excitements.
By late November 1976 however Elvis had become involved with new love Ginger Alden. As fans are well aware Elvis\’ final 1976 tour of December is well known for having the most energetic and exciting concerts from this tiring and lacklustre year, however back in November Elvis was already more energised, losing weight and excited to be with Ginger.
