On this day in 1977, The King, Elvis Presley, delivered his final live stage performance with a show at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. The last two songs he performed that night were 'Hurt' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. Less than 2 months later he would sadly be dead.

Customer Reviews
Fab!! Do NOT miss!!
The VRP is the best rock music podcast you’ll ever hear. The roster of guests that Paul has interviewed is extremely eclectic and covers the whole gamut of styles and genres that have developed since modern rock music took off in the 60s, including many, many hall-of-fame inductees and influential musicians and singers. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough! If you decide to subscribe, do go back to the beginning and work your way through the early episodes, for some real gems. If, like me, you love hearing stories about life in a band, life on-the-road, and how songs and collaborations came about, you’ll not be disappointed. Enjoy!!
Excellent podcast
I’ve never really been a podcast person to be honest, but these are really good. So much information, insights and chat that has made lockdown just a little bit easier. Great alternative to listen to in the car to help the journey pass quicker.
Simply The Best
Fantastic Podcast ... But I would have expected nothing less from my opld mate Paul! Right on the money from day 1 with the best interviews and great stories, keep up the good work and note to all ...the first quiz contestant was amazing!
