Notes: The final 8 tracks on disc two are all unreleased tracks from the Time Life series ! They were available only on this limited edition series.
Here they lack a little fidelity, like they were taken from an audiocassette dub.

Concert: Elvis had to pay dues to the powerful performances the day before. He sounded tired and exhausted and needed a rest.
The very rare Such A Night didn`t make the show any better.
