A powerhouse performance by Elvis - his nervousness from returning to live concerts is definitely worn off, 
as his confidence is awe inspiring. 
Probably one of the BEST concert CD's ever  released (official or bootleg) !
The "Life Story Monologue" was told by Elvis on stage in his early 1969 shows. 
This monologue runs an amazing 7:59 on this disc and is insightful and funny !
Not many shows were opened with "Blue Suede Shoes" ! 
Elvis plays guitar on "Baby , What You Want Me To Do". 
"Hound Dog" and "What'd I Say" were given the powerhouse treatment in Elvis' 1969 shows , 
and these renditions are standouts. 
"Suspicious Minds" clocks in over 7 minutes !
Great versions of "Johnny B. Goode" and "Runaway" !
"Words" wasn't performed much after the 1969 shows , and is a remarkable song when sung by Elvis. 
The middle of "Suspicious Minds" is spliced into a tape from August 3 - 1969 Dinner show 
used for the CD "Opening Night 1969" . The last 2 songs are also from this bootleg release.
