1974 - 1977 In the final years leading up to Elvis’ death, he toured and recorded constantly, selling out venues everywhere and earning a third and final Grammy award. He also performed for a CBS television special called “Elvis in Concert” that aired posthumously. For friends, family and fans of Elvis, 1977 would be a tragic year.

Elvis started his final stage tour, a 10-day swing through the American heartland, in Springfield, Missouri, on June 17, 1977. Following were stops on successive nights in Kansas City, Omaha, Lincoln, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Des Moines, and Madison.
