An American Trilogy - with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

This is a live recording from an Elvis concert, which unites three 19th century American folk songs: "Dixie," "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "All My Trials" in a symbolic effort to bring America together.

This medley was arranged by American singer-songwriter Mickey Newbury, who also wrote Kenny Rogers And The First Edition's "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)."

This recording of "An American Trilogy" was taken from the evening concert by Elvis on June 10, 1972 at the Madison Square Garden arena in New York City. He also did an afternoon show and they were promoted as being Presley's first live concerts in the Big Apple since the 1950s.
