Package: This was the second release under the EPL label and, as usual, with very poor design and package, but with a unique show.

Elvis: This was a superior and badly short engagement with really knock out shows with Elvis using request boxes. Moreover, this was the last time ever Elvis performed Suspicious Minds on stage. Unfortunately the song is incomplete, I think the recorder was not aware that he was making a unique tape, otherwise he would have done everything to change the tape on other song. Elvis was not going to perform this song anymore, because he felt tired after it and he could not catch his breath, but someone from the audience asked him to sing it and he says: "All right! Suspicious minds!". The show is full of ultra rare songs such as Loving You and Crying In The Chapel, performed in their full entirety. Some songs were placed in the unusual order, for example the very rocking Blue Suede Shoes and Love Me.

The sound quality remains a bit better than average audience tape and it really helps. It is also important that no shows from this tour were ever recorded on soundboard. Elvis is very talkative and jokes, but we know that he was seriously ill at the moment. After a few concerts the others were cancelled on next day.
