Special Bonus Extra Mini Quiz - No.48

“This next song is a song we just recorded, ladies & gentlemen & - err – doing harmony with me is – err -
the reason I didn’t introduce him earlier - his mother & father are in the audience tonight ... my friend
Charlie Hodge !”

When & where did Elvis say this & what was the 'next song' ?

[Colin B]

Come on you experts !

It was unusual for Charlie's parents to be in the audience, so that must narrow things down a tad.

Not to mention Elvis introducing a new song which they had 'just recorded' !

[cadillac-elvis]

is this one of the spring 1975 shows in Alabama?

The song, T-r-o-u-b-l-e.

Good thinking, but it's not 1975, Alabama or T-r-o-u-b-l-e.

Not that location or song.

Florida 1977 feb. tour. ?

I don't recall hearing it, so interested in the answer.

It's not Florida or 1977.

Clues:

It's earlier & farther north.

The song is of a religious nature.

It's a tad difficult to 'look up' Elvis' between-songs stage chat, isn't it ?

I sometimes record it in my notes, so can come up with quiz questions like this !

You’ll never walk alone
1975.

[cadillac-elvis]

Oh, the song has to be "help me" from 1973.

I forgot about the "just recorded" part. and it being of religious nature, that limits it quite a bit.

Elvis said it on 14th March, 1974, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, before singing 'Help Me' !

It can be found on the 2018 2-CD set: Murfreesboro '74 - FTD No.155.

Well done, cadillac-elvis !

the reason I didn’t introduce him earlier - his mother & father are in the audience tonight ... my friend
Charlie Hodge !”

He refers to the fact that, when he introduced all the others earlier, he didn't mention Charlie, because he was saving him for this 'special' bit.
