Notes: If any bootleg release cries out for a soundboard tape to magically appear, this would be in the top 10 list for sure! Not only was the song selection unusual, but a lot of celebrities were in the audience, which usually inspired Elvis to perform a great show in front of his peers.

This is the only concert uncovered so far with a live rendition of "Raised On Rock" !

The "Rock Medley" is one of the longer versions of this Elvis powerhouse idea; they got shorter in duration as the years marched forward.

Concert: All in all one of the best shows of this season, well - it was the Opening Show !
