Having been forced to cancel his 1975 'Summer Festival' in Las Vegas after just five shows at his physicians insistence due to exhaustion he fulfilled the obligation to the Hilton by scheduling a replacement run in December of the year.
In keeping with what had gone before in most of 1975, the standard of show in December was generally high and Elvis seemed in good spirits.
During this run two of the songs which first appeared on the 1970 album 'That's The Way It Is' would see their final live renditions. 'Just Pretend' would be sung for the final time on the fifteenth (this can be heard elsewhere on my KZitem channel) and during the opening show 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling'. Both songs had been sung for the first time on consecutive days, 'Lovin' Feeling' on 10 August during the opening show and 'Just Pretend' on 11 August during the Midnight show.
With Elvis having apparently dropped 'Lovin' Feeling' from his setlist after his March 74 tour it is entirely possible that had this engagement not been rearranged, the final rendition would have been on 12 March 1974 in Richmond.
It must be more than sheer coincidence that it makes one final appearance when the singing duo of musical duo of Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley better known as 'The Righteous Brothers' were in attendance. This hypothesis is given further credence given that Elvis had sung one line of the song during the 19 August Midnight Show during the short cancelled run, again after introducing the same individuals.
