-You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
-You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
-The Next Step Is Love
-Twenty Days And Twenty Nights
-Polk Salad Annie
-Oh Happy Day
-I've Lost You

Some of these rehearsals were shown in the "That's The Way It Is"-documentary and some of these rehearsals should have been shown in the documentary. Elvis gave a wonderful and exciting version of 'Oh Happy Day'.
