Elvis Presley - Return To Sender - 24 July 1975 - First Time Performed Live 

I mean he performd return the sender in 62 and 75 is 13 years later.

That is quite possibly true Jack, however with no documented evidence, of the set lists from either of the shoes on that date, this remains the first rendition in that regard. It also possible however, that he also performed it isometime in the six years in between and perhaps a recording of that may surface.

@@TheUltimateElvisChannelbyLeon We have a fan witness.

@@officialJackElvisFisher I am not casting any doubt on the sincerity of that witness Jack, but memories do get blurred, particularly when over fifty years have elapsed. It is therfore imperatve that there is some sort of corroboration, either written or audio. This is critical before this rendition, which is currently universally accepted as being the first live rendition by Elvis. In addition, was it just one line, one verse or a full run through as an excerpt does not count as a bona fide rendition. One prime exoample of this is M Way where Elvis sang an excerpt on 4 September 1970 but the first live rendition is till 4 August 1972. I hope you understand why I am therefore unwilling to change the title of the video. There are many written accounts of fans, such as Anne Nixon who wrote for Elvis Monthly for example, who said Elvis had performed songs at certain shows she attended but when audio from the show materialised, said songs were not in fact performed. This phenomenon has occured on many other occasions. That being said, it is still interesting to think that there is a distinct possiblity of the song being sung in August 1969 and makes me eager to see some type of audio of this show emerge.

@@TheUltimateElvisChannelbyLeon They ran through all the verses. Larry couldn’t find the key, but they kept on going. This was written down by the man in 1969.

@@officialJackElvisFisher On a personal level I love that - and it really does whet the appetite. Thanks Jack.

Thanks Jeffrey, silly mistake. I've updated the title (can't do anything about the title screen unfortunately).

It's that fine line isn't it Samuel.

@@TheUltimateElvisChannelbyLeon exactly haha

and something important to note is that here he’s singing the song in the same key as the original but in 1976 both versions are in the of C and here it’s in the key of Eb

What? Where can I hear that?

@@kevinpaul180 hey Kevin, it's easy to find this version, just search on RU-vid 'Elvis Presley return to sender live lake Tahoe 1976'
