'Presley Mere Shadow Of Before'
By Bill E. Burk
LAS VEGAS - After sitting through Elvis Presley's closing night performance at the Las Vegas Hilton, one walks away wondering how much longer it can be before the end comes, perhaps suddenly, and why the King of Rock 'n' Roll would subject himself to possible ridicule by going on stage so ill prepared. Why carry on? For Fame? He's perhaps the best known, best loved performer of all time. His loyal followers gathered in line five hours before show time just to get better seating. A charismatic Phenomenon he is. No one can doubt that. 'We lose money in the showroom when we book him' said one Hilton official, 'because of what we have to pay him, but we make it up in the rooms and at the tables (in the casino) and in the restaurants because of the people he draws'. But as the minutes dragged by and went past an hour on stage, one wonders why the charisma continues. There's nothing new. But for the celebrated paunch, which is adroitly covered with a loose fitting jump suit, high collar and super wide belt, he's the same Elvis. He talks sometimes inaudibly, wastes a lot of time between songs with inane chatter. Sings the same old hackneyed songs that shot him to the top nearly two decades back - 'It's Now Or Never', 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'C.C Rider', etc., etc., etc.
In fact, the two times Elvis stepped outside his original repertoire, to sing 'My Way' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' he had to sing from a sheet with the words written on it, hastily provided by stage sidekick Charlie Hodge, who also provides and endless amount of scarves to be thrown to the giggling girls at
stage side and with more glasses of water than one can count in an hour and twenty minutes. Elvis looked terribly tired. Even his famed swivelling hips, which don't swivel all that much anymore, seem programmed. The audience, which ten years ago would have screamed enough to down out the songs, was noticeably subdued until the end was evidently near. It only took two guards to keep the gatecrashers off-stage
following the final number.
This may seem like on person's opinion. It isn't. During Presley last three nights here, these opinions, or various forms of them, were heard time and time again from former Presley 'groupies' who openly expressed concern for him. And yet they keep coming back and they will pack his next road tour, which starts December 27 in Wichita and ends New Year's Eve in Pittsburgh. Once a king, always a king. Maybe that's it. And just maybe they're still coming because they think it might be the last time around.
