During the evening show Elvis wore a suit with fringes all the way down the floor: "Tom Jones can't use this suit. He's too fat. I've had this suit made specially for this concert, and if it gets tangled up around me I blame you." It's a very spectacular suit, but Charlie Hodge had to cut the fringes from the microphone. But this didn't have any negative influence on the show. Vocally Elvis was dynamic. His deep and powerful voice sounded great through the speakers of the Forum. Elvis wasn't satisfied with the way he finished "Can't Help Falling In Love", so he sang a few lines of "Polk Salad Annie" and then he did the ending of "Can't Help Falling in Love" again.
