Elvis Presley - Never Been To Spain - 19 August 1974, Opening Show - Final Time Performed Live

Elvis opened his sixth Las Vegas season on 26 January 1972 and the setlist included five new songs and an oldie which would receive it's first 70's live performance.
The first of the six performed that evening, with Elvis wearing the 'White Pyramid' jumpsuit featured on the cover of the MSG album, was a song which would be synonymous with both MSG and On Tour - Never Been To Spain, a hit for Three Dog Night and written by Hoyt Axton. It was recorded by RCA over two weeks later at seven shows between 14-17 February with the master from 16 Feb MS intended for the abandoned 'Standing Room Only' album. That recording would have to wait for the 70's Masters box set to be officially released which meant the MSG recording was the first to be heard by the public at large but in 2009 Sony would release through the FTD label a two disc album called 'Standing Room Only' including the master of this song with the original concept in mind.
Elvis would perform the song throughout 1972 but would only sing it twice after the 18 August Vegas Midnight show, this version from opening night 19 August 74 when the setlist revamp was attempted and finally one line on 24 May 77 in Augusta, Maine.
