Elvis had a contract that he had to live up to, which is why Having Fun With Elvis On Stage was created.
Released in 1974, the album consisted only of spoken content.
The recordings feature banter by Elvis in between songs during his live shows but don’t feature a single tune. Naturally, the album was ripped apart by critics, seeing as there is no musical substance to the record.
Mark Deming, of AllMusic, had very strong feelings on the album saying:
“Some have called 'Having Fun With Elvis On Stage' thoroughly unlistenable, but actually it’s worse than that; hearing it is like witnessing an auto wreck that somehow plowed into a carnival freak show, leaving onlookers at once too horrified and too baffled to turn away.” Harsh.
