Summer Festival Reflections Of '71 Vol 2
label: STAGE RECORDINGS
content: 3 DISCS

Now available is this 3 CD set featuring 3 audience recorded live shows from August 1971.

Volume 1 of the SUMMER FESTIVAL series featured 5 rockin' shows from his Summer Festival season in Las Vegas, August 1971. 
This follow up contains 3 more rockin' shows from the very same season. This set contains many highlights like Kris Kristofferson's beautiful ballad  "Help Me Make It Through The Night" which Elvis only sang twice during this season. Perry Como's "It's Impossible" is a song first sang by Elvis in July 1971 during a show in Lake Tahoe. The song was an almost steady on the setlist during this August season, but after this season it only turned up once more on the setlist in February 1972. The always  The powerful "It's Over", probably best known from his famous "Aloha From Hawaii" debuted also in July 1971 and is also featured on this set.

Especially knowing no soundboard recordings have yet surfaced, these audience recorded shows are all we are able to enjoy.

Without a doubt, the most exciting thing to see here is in all 3 shows, there's the very rare It's Impossible. I hope the sound of these are good enough to be able to really enjoy hearing these. Disappointing that he did not do The Impossible Dream in these shows.
