Concert: For the first time on silver disc and for the first time almost in its entirety ! Just the end was not recorded completely.
The sound is fine throughout, a great improvement to what we had before on LP back in 1970. Elvis is in a hilarious mood and the audience breaks out in laughter more than once.
On the other side we get great renditions of Tiger Man, I Just Can't Help Believing, Polk Salad Annie or Bridge Over Troubled Water. A vibrant show full with highlights !
