Apropos of not much except the sharing of great live performances, I ran across this clip of Elvis singing "How Great Thou Art" in 1972 (I think at Hampton Roads). Great band with some nice lead trumpet work at the end.

(Sorry for providing the link only; I'm too incompetent to figure out how to embed the video.)

More than likely Walt Johnson - Lead Trumpet.

That was actually the late Pat Houston playing lead. He was bandleader Joe Guercio’s lead player at the Hilton show room. A great player. This tour was filmed for a pretty cool movie called “ Elvis on Tour “, DVD of full show is around..

Fun fact...the only Grammys Elvis ever won were for sacred music.

Also interesting - the movie of these concerts won a golden globe for the film
Editor of the many montage sequences - the editor was Martin Scorsese

Had not heard of Pat Houston before. Great article about Pat and how he passed a few months after Elvis. Too young of a player to pass away...
