Our Father, Who Art in Heaven

First Elvis starts rambling about RCA Victor, Sun and a crane.Then he sings a snippet "you better run" before launching in The Lord's Prayer. After screaming/singing Forever he says:"you didn't think I could do it did ya?". I know I can't do it. Amazing performance.

Difficult to give an objective opinion on this one which is just Elvis loosening up for the proper session. Strained in parts seeing what he could do without any enhanced effects. Entertaining with 3 stars as a diversion and 2 stars for a serious release which it is not.
