In retrospect it was a good combination of material as they combined some of his well-known hits with some, at the time, rarely performed live songs. They also were trying not to duplicate very much of the material used on his Live At Madison Square Garden concerts of June, 1972. Classic hits such as “Hound Dog,” “Love Me,” “A Big Hunk O’ Love,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love” share space with some of his newer hits: “Suspicious Minds,” “Burning Love,” and “Steamroller Blues.” Add in such cover songs as “My Way,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Fever,” and “Welcome to My World” and you have a varied, interesting, energetic, passionate, and always entertaining concert.
Most Elvis fans will have the material but having all of it in one place as well as having been subjected to the cleaning process of modern technology is a plus. If you are not familiar with this concert, then this new release is a must.
