Of the eight Elvis concerts I attended, I only went to two in Vegas. This was one of them. This would be fun to have. The last time I heard this show, was on Dec. 3, 1975.
I have this concert on CD-R and although the concert is good,the sound quality is v-e-r-y b-a-d. It won't be much better on this new release,i'm afraid. I like good audience recordings but it's not one of them.
It always depends on the source you have....and if you have a x generation copy the sound gets worse, too...I just want to say..mine sounds quite o.k..cause I have 2nd or 3rd generation copy..
The show is excellent as were all of this stand...this and a decent sounding AR make this release worthwhile..
In the case of the majority of the audience recordings even the master tape sounds like crap, hahahahaha!:) And 95% of these releases are from 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th generation copies. Excellent show? I'm not sure,but a good one,i agree. Unfortunately the sound is far from excellent, mein freund. No matter which source they used,all are below average. To Iray: you'll be happy with this CD as you attended the show,it's better than nothing. To TellmewhyElvis: it's an audience recording. To Zoltan84: throw out your CD-R:)
