Elvis' Last Concert

On June 26th, 1977, Elvis Presley played his final concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. Immediately after landing, RCA Records presented him with a plaque commemorating the two billionth (that's a "b" folks) record ever manufactured.
Touring in support of his latest album Moody Blue, Elvis ended the performance with "Hurt" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water," boarded a plane, and was dead just a few weeks later.
The clip below is from one of his last performances ever. Obviously in weak physical form and apparently winded, he delivers a pretty remarkable vocal performance.
