Notes:

An above average early summer '76 concert. Elvis does sound a bit tired, his voice is nevertheless quite strong and clear. He even put some more effort in the oldies and adds "Blue Sue Shoes" and "Love Me Tender" at some unusual places in the set-list. Sound is very good for a soundboard, something we are familliar with from this label.

Not what i would consider the greatest cd from 1976, but - the excellent sound goes a long way to making it an essential buy. Nice enough, if sometimes uninspired concert. Cool all the same though [img]style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif[/img]

Can't agree more guys [img]style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif[/img]

the first 2 tracks by the Sweets make this even more interesting!

I always liked this concert ... mabye it's the sound, mabye it's Elvis's performance itself, but this is one of the more enjoyable concerts from mid '76 imo. It reminds me of the of the better non-bullsh*t straight forward October '76 tour shows !

Strong show for the summer of '76 i.m.o. Pretty solid setlist also, and good sound. Can't complain.
