Notes: The latter show is wrongly dated "23.2.1971 DS" and released here for the first time in soundboard quality.

Concert: I would consider the first show as the better one out of these two which are featured here.
Elvis sounds fresher and more committed whereas on closing night he seems like wanting to bring the whole thing to an end and as soon as possible.
Many songs are rushed and he hardly talks. Polk Salad Annie, How Great Thou Art and Bridge Over Troubled Water are highlights though.
