So Elvis must have performed 21 times.

All sources say 22 times. Cannot be.

All shows cancelled on 31.01, 01.02, 13.02 & 14.02.1973.

Which source suggests that there were cancelled shows in Tahoe '74? The only cancelled 1974 shows I know of where both shows 26.08.1974 (Las Vegas Season 11).

Cisco, your question ref: Tahoe '74 is perplexing, to say the least. After putting a lot of info together, I have concluded that if E did cancel 2 shows during this engagement, then it's quite likely that the dates/shows were: May 22 DS and May 23 DS Please correct me if I'm wrong, or missing some info. And, that still adds up to only 21 concerts, and not 22. What's your take on this?

Lake Tahoe shows: May 16 - 27

May 16
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
(audience cd-r) "Blockbuster In Lake Tahoe" , "The Concert Years Vol. 47" and "Lake Tahoe May 16, 1974 OS"
- Show 2 ?? (he supposedly opened this Tahoe stint with 2 shows)

May 17
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
- Show 2
(soundboard) unreleased
(audience cd-r) "Lake Tahoe May 17, 1974 MS"

May 18
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
- Show 2
(soundboard) unreleased

May 19
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
- Show 2
(soundboard) unreleased

May 20
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
- Show 2
(soundboard) unreleased

May 21
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
- Show 2
(soundboard) unreleased
(audience cd-r) "The Fun Spills Over"

May 22
- Show 1 ?? * (best candidate for cancellation)
- Show 2
(audience cd) "Spring Fever"

May 23
- Show 1 ?? * (best candidate for cancellation)
- Show 2 ?? (since it is said that Linda Thompson had a bday party that night after a show, it most likely took place after, not before, the midnite show)

May 24
- Show 1
(soundboard) unreleased
(audience cd) "Big Boss Man In Lake Tahoe"
- Show 2
(soundboard) "Spanish Eyes"

May 25
- Show 1 ?? (the last 4 tracks on the import cd "Last Tango In Tahoe", and presumably its predecessor "A Profile: The King On Stage - Vol. 2" (Disc 1), are said to be from this show)
- Show 2
(audience cd-r) "Lake Tahoe May 25, 1974" and "Surrender"

May 26
- Show 1
(soundboard) "And The King For The Dessert" (wrongly dated as May 25 DS)
(audience cd-r) "The Tahoe Years Vol. 4" (wrongly dated as May 25 DS) and "Lake Tahoe May 26, 1974 DS"
- Show 2
(audience cd-r) "Lake Tahoe May 26, 1974 MS"

May 27
- 3:00 am
(soundboard) "A Profile: The King On Stage - Vol. 2" (Disc 1) and "Last Tango In Tahoe"
(audience cd-r) "Curtains Closed" , "Trying To Get To You" and "Lake Tahoe May 27, 1974"

According to the "Concert Years" book and all other sources/sites Elvis gave 22 shows and 2 concerts were cancelled.
We have one Opening Night on 16.5. then we have 2 shows a day from 17.5. till 26.5. makes 20 and one extra show on 27.5. 3 AM because of great demand.
That makes a total of 22 shows, yes..
But I came to think, where are the cancelled shows...??
If he gave 22 shows like all sources state, then there is no place for a cancelled show...where should they be..??
We have two possibilities:
Either all sources are wrong and it was simply forgotten two name/include the 2 cancelled shows ..then Elvis in fact only gave 20 shows and 2 were cancelled.
Or no show was cancelled at all.

DaXaD: your listing matches my records..

More input is much appreciated....
