The final song to be recorded during the 'Nashville Marathon' and on the final day of 8 June 1970 in RCA's Studio B was "Patch It Up". It was however this live version which was released on the TTWII album with the studio master mothballed for release at a later date firstly as a single release. It was this, the second and final live version that appeared in the original TTWII in 1970 from the 12 August Dinner show but originally had the second verse edited out and even when included in ther 2001 re-edited version of TTWII still found itself heavily edited but can be seen here in complete form. The edits are detailed through captions on the video itself, with the 2001 segments in High Definition. You can see Elvis appears to be having lots of fun with it and the audience reception seems favourable. Patch It Up marked was to replace Suspicious Minds for the duration of this season but was not happy with the way it came across so Elvis reinstated Suspicious Minds after opening night and this second live version would also be it's final rendition. The new audio makes Ronnie Tutt's magnificent drum work all the more prominent and it is difficult when watching this video not to find your gaze often moving behind Elvis and to watch the almost mesmeric Tutt at work. His sheer enthusiasm, facial expressions and general mannerisms particularly during "Patch It Up" led my teenage son to remark that it reminds him of another great drummer - Animal of Electric Mayhem from the Muppet Show!! As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
