The Elvis face looks thinner. Like in 1974.

Just the angle I think, although his weight fluctuated a lot during the later years like we all know.

"The July 4th Tulsa show is not one of the worst Elvis did, but it is an attempt for it. Even Trilogy is not what it should be, one would think he tried it more then enough before... Anyway, my opinion on 1976 in general is known by now, unfortunately this show doesn't give me a reason to play the other side of that record, saved for the exceptions. Okay, one more for the effort: the sound is pretty good, so yo can hear all out of tune singing (especially JD was out of shape) perfectly".

The review on that page by Lex Raaphorst is quite amusing.

No. It’s Dick Grob.
