Elvis' live performing peak was '68-'72, in my opinion. Really the only sign of a decline was Elvis' show in the powder blue jumpsuit. He looks significantly pale here. In all the other shows, he looks in better health. I don't think Elvis did a bad show in 1972. He is still committed to his performances. He is also doing rock shows at this point. He is not emphasizing ballads as much as he would later. Also this is the last year that Elvis' voice improves. Elvis sings "American Trilogy" with near operatic range. He would never belt it out more than in this song. A satisfying document of Elvis at his peak.
