Concert: Both shows are really very decent. It was a fine Vegas season anyway. Elvis is in a good mood throughout and focuses on the music and not on talking too much.
We have an appealing song selection with highlights like Tryin' To Get To You, Sweet Caroline, Spanish Eyes or the beautiful The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Pity that the MxF label only uses well-known CD-r without making any efforts regarding sound improvement. This is a let down.
