Song of the Day: An American Trilogy (Live)

Happy Independence Day everyone! Hopefully you all are having a great morning so far, but I hope it gets just a little better with my song selection today. I decided to save this one for a special occasion and I can’t think of a better time to break this Elvis classic out. If you had to ask me what is my favorite Elvis live song performance? It is this one, hands down. The passion and power that he puts into the song really exemplifies how meaningful it was to him and you can see that here. The Aloha From Hawaii performance of this song was his most famous, but I feel like every time I hear it and no matter which version of it I’m hearing, I’m like one of Elaine’s boyfriends on Seinfeld whenever he hears “Desperado”. I have to stop what I’m doing and just listen. I hope you all have a great day today and have fun, but stay safe.
