The troop train arrived in Brooklyn at 9.00 a.m. Elvis held a press conference and once again 

expressed his hope that the fans won't forget him. He walked up the gangplank of the USS Randall 8 times,

good friends. Charlie cheered him up.

A day late and in a terrible mood Elvis arrived at the RCA studio in Nashville at 7.00 p.m. The entire evening Elvis

 tried to speed up things and in 6 hours time they recorded both sides of a single. (Where Did They Go, 

Lord and Rags To Riches) They also completed the 2 songs ("Snowbird" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On") 

left to complete the country album. Due to absence James Burton was replaced by Eddie Hinton on lead guitar.

September 22, 1973

RCA wanted Elvis to complete at least 4 vocals for tracks Felton Jarvis had already recorded. So with the approval of

 the Colonel, there was a mobile recording truck sent to Elvis' Chino Canyon home in Palm Springs, where recording was

 done September 22-24, resulting in 9 songs which were included on the "Raised On Rock" album.
Donnie Sumner and his band group Voice recorded with Elvis for the first time during this session. On the first night, 

after spending a lot of time with Voice for their demos, Elvis finally completed the overdubbing of one of his own 

songs "Sweet Angeline" at 3:00 a.m.
