  • Elvis in Concert is the title of the soundtrack album released in conjunction with the television special of the same name which featured some of the final performances of Elvis Presley. Videotaped and recorded in June 1977, both the special and album were broadcast and released on October 3, 1977, (the single "My Way"/"America the Beautiful" was also released that day too) two months after Presley's death. The album peaked to #5 on the Billboard chart in the Fall of 1977. The show was recorded over two days at concerts in Omaha on June 19th and Rapid City, South Dakota on the 21st. According to Elvis: The Illustrated Record by Roy Carr and Mick Farren, the shows were taped with the intent of producing a television special, but Presley's deteriorating physical condition put the project on hold. After his death, they write, it was decided to go ahead with the special as a tribute. Although both the June 19th and 21st concerts are the last official live professional one's ever recorded of Elvis Presley alive, Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, recorded a message that was broadcast at the end of the special and included on the soundtrack album. Vernon Presley erroneously states that the performance featured was his son's last appearance; in fact he made five more concert appearances after the filming of the special. Elvis' last concert was in fact on Sunday, June 26th, 1977 at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. During the special, Presley performs a selection of his hits, along with songs not normally associated with him. Although it was a regular part of his repertoire for years, Presley requires a lyric sheet when he performs Paul Anka's "My Way" (noted for its opening lyric, "And now the end is near/And so I face the final curtain"). He also loses his train of thought during "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", although Darrin Memmer's book "Elvis Presley - The 1977 CBS Television Special," published in 2001 by Morris Publishing, makes a strong case that Elvis regularly played around with the words during the spoken portion of the song when performing it on stage, rather than it being a case of poor memory. The soundtrack album was issued as a 2-LP package, including a second disc of performances that were not included in the TV special.
  • «Elvis In Concert» («Элвис на концерте») — шестой концертный альбом американского певца Элвиса Пресли, также являющийся саундтреком к одноимённому телеконцерту, записанному в июне 1977 года (трансляция прошла в октябре). Этой пластинкой обычно закрывают прижизненную дискографию Элвиса Пресли, несмотря на то что альбом вышел полтора месяца спустя после смерти певца. Именно факт смерти повлиял как на решение выпустить данный альбом, так и на его успех: «Elvis In Concert» занял 5-е место в американском хит-параде и достиг трижды платинового статуса.
