Notes:

Good concert in good soundquality. 'It's A Matter Of Time' is a real surprise and is done quite well for a song that isn't rehearsed. 'Suspicious Minds' comes from the August 26th 1973 m/s as it was not recorded. The bonus songs are nice to have and are in even better sound than the main show.

* Tracks 1-12 & 14-22 are also released as 'Who Dressed Me Tonight' (CDR) and 'Las Vegas 8/25/73, MS' (CDR)

* Track 13 is also released (in it's original context) on 'http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/index.php?showtopic=5245' (Import), 'Las Vegas Fever volume 3' (Import) and 'http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/index.php?showtopic=6411' (CDR)

* Tracks 23-26 are also released (in it's original context) on 'Midnight Special' (Import CDR), 'Whole Lotta Shakin`In Vegas' (CDR), 'Las Vegas August 19., 1973' (CDR) and 'Take The Ribbon From Your Hair' (CDR).

It seems that the concert is wrong dated; it should be 25-08-73 dinner. In the past the concert switched from dinner to midnight and back again. Nobody really knows the right date??
According to my old tape I bought in the early 80's it is the dinner show.


In 2007 is was released too on CD It's a matter of time (MOTO 507)

Henk...problem here....back then..somewhere in the 1980`s.. tapes were copied by the thousands..it can be you purchased a tape that had already been copied a few times and it was already wrongly labelled..I don`t assume you have an original..
Merijn has it as MS, too...did you contact him ?

Cisco, I know that a lot of tapes were wrong labelled / spliced to get a "new concert" etc. These early days were terrible to find out what was wrong or right.

PS. In the past Merijn got most of the tapes from a fellow-collector / friend of mine or from me. The fellow-collector got half of his collection from me in the early 80's.
When I have time I'll repair the date again to midnight.

I know; I've thrown away many cheap cassettes or I've recorded over dozens of tapes because they were not what it should be. The sound quality was very very poor (like 13-06-72 Evansville etc). In these days a very little improvement of the sound was possible but what is bad stayed bad. It's a pity by handling in this way that some unreleased concerts are gone but somewhere there must be better tapes as far as they excist until now.

Once I traded 10 tapes with an Australian guy; in stead a concert on each tape he recorded all concerts in a row. I got more then 10 concerts but I had to repair it all by recording over on new tapes.
