Notes: This double CD contains the full Memphis show (tracks 1 - 35) , the portion of the Toledo show that the sound engineer recorded , and two home recordings of Elvis.

Concert: A powerhouse performance that our man delivered here in his hometown Memphis. The best show of this tour, probably one of the best of the whole year. Elvis was in top notch condition vocally and the songs were performed with passion and joy. We hear brilliant versions of America, The Beautiful, That's All Right, My Way or Hurt. Excellent !!!

The Toledo concert 9 months later features Elvis at a low point of his career. A boring show with no highlights and Elvis sounding quite indifferent. The sparkle had gone.
