Package: It is a usual package of Rock Legends label, consisting of the TITLE and "ELVIS" (they consider that adding Presley is useless - everybody knows it without notice). But at the same time, producers consider it necessary to give us some comments: "Elvis' first concert in Memphis since his February 1961 benefit concert". Nothing strange, that if we could guess about Presley, we might not be able to found out what concert it is. :-) Good photo by Bob Heis could be found inside the booklet.

Elvis: He is rather nervous and it's normal for 13 years break, but personally I like such concerts when Elvis delivers his music the way he wanted it to be remembered. This is the case with Aloha, Opening Night'69 and others.

Highlights: As for me, I like 1974 program mostly because Suspicious Minds, Help Me, live versions of Love Me Tender and others. In spite of nothing outstanding, the program is wonderful and makes me feel the spirit of Aloha in it's 1974 variant.
