Released a few times before.
First as cdr,later as pressed cd.
All have the same soundquality wich is very good for an audience recording.
The speed however was always too fast,a big let down.

This re-issue corrrected that problem,but it's still a (very) little bit too fast.
But it doesn't sound so wrong anymore as before.
Very good Las Vegas show,good sound and recomended to all fans.

Johan, 1st of all ---->> GREAT job you're doing my friend !

Got this re-isue and have to say that it indeed sounds more enjoyable in this speed, although you're right that it still runs a fraction too fast. Even when I got the original CDR release of this one it was instantly one of my favorite Vegas shows. Great atmosphere, Elvis sounds miles better than he would during both September 3rd shows and is in good humor and also the setlist is excellent !

Both 'Flip, Flop And Fly' and 'High Spirits In Vegas' were released in 2002 and while the 1st is a silver disc and the 2nd a cdr it was 'High Spirits In Vegas' that was released first. 'Flip, Flop And Fly' is just a copy .......

Got this CD in the mail TODAY and am just playing it, Bridge rocks, one of the best with a reprise. Elvis seems to be in a great mood laughing abit and having fun. Love the sound, don't sound to fast to me and its the first time I heard this show!
