Concert: The sound is a bit dull throughout but not bad considering it was a great hall. The show belongs to the better ones of this time. Elvis tries hard to please the crowd and he succeeds with it. We hear good versions of Trying To Get To You,  America, The Beautiful, How Great Thou Art or Hurt. Although the concert doesn`t offer anything new it is in contrast to many indifferent shows before and to come in this year.
