Comments:	Elvis summoned an ENT doctor to his suite at the Hilton before this show because he wasn't feeling well. The doctor observed that Elvis was pale and had swollen joints from fluid retention. He indicated Elvis' kidneys  were not working properly and advised Elvis to be admitted to a hospital ASAP. But the doc's advise was ignored.
