Package: Package contains several great quality shoots, taken at the concert and article from the “Greensboro Record”. It is a real competitor to the RCA releases, but the only disappointing thing is that the CD itself is pink colored, and white letters on it makes me feel spurn.

Elvis: It was really a “long, long time”, because this CD was expected to be released in 1996 as was declared by Luxor. Nevertheless, this is a great release featuring 30 tracks from the 1976 concert era in the great soundboard quality and presenting Elvis in a good spirit, joking with a female fan “What do you want honey? You want a baby kiss or you want heavy? How about a heavy baby kiss?”

Highlights: There is no need to go through each song one by one, because this CD is worth the money even if the show was not so good as it is. This is a must have not only for collectors, but for those who prefer “quality official releases”

Other: Among other strong features of this CD, the warming up should be mentioned: first track – Sweet Inspiration is really “warming” and makes us enjoy the show “so far”.
