Concert: Omaha (CD 1): Again a show below standard. Elvis sounds quite overdosed and is slurring the words. He hardly moved.

The Rapid City show on disc 2 is by far better than Omaha. However, the intros are still incomplete there contrary to the Omaha show which is complete from start to finish (except for a few seconds of the 2001 Theme). We have a great 2-CD digipak-layout and a 16-page booklet filled with many photos and interesting liner notes. It is great to have this material now packed in one release. Until we get an official FTD release of this stuff this one is the one to seek for.
