Concert: A welcome addition to any collection of audience recordings. The old cd-r can go to the bin since this release is also much better sounding and almost complete.

The concert is strong and Elvis is very focused without missing some fun with his audience.
In addition we have an excellent set list with many highlights like: Long Tall Sally, Kentucky Rain, Let It Be Me, Polk Salad Annie or Suspicious Minds. Highly recommendable !
