Memphis, TN (05-Feb-99)

Note 1: Technically, this might be graded as a "B+" but the great performance and enthusiatic audience push it into the "A-" category.
Note: The New Daisy Theater is located at 330 Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, 8 miles from Graceland, and a street well-traveled by the youthful Elvis. Uncle Bobby did him proud on this February night.
