Here's the second night performance from Elvis on his week-long series of shows at the Royalty Theatre in London in 1986. This time it's a full-length solo acoustic show, with just Elvis and his guitar, except for one song (Crimes of Paris) when he is joined onstage by his new wife, Cait O'Riordan (of the Pogues). Elvis is genial and chatty, telling jokes, stories, and anecdotes throughout the show, which features a fantastic setlist and many unique and wonderful interpretations of a wide variety of songs, including several covers (You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, True Love Ways, King Midas in Reverse, Pretty in Pink, etc.) and a focus on songs from King of America. An excellent show where you can really start to see Elvis's personality and commitment to his music and performance come through.
