Concert: It was an opening night and these concerts were always something special for the King and his fans. Especially in Lake Tahoe where Elvis loved the intimacy of the place a bit away from the busy Las Vegas. As a result we hear a decent concert with Elvis trying hard to please his crowd.  He is very relaxed and is joking around with his fans and delivers some fine renditions. Highlights are: Trying To Get To You, America The Beautiful, Hurt, Burning Love or the incredible How Great Thou Art.
