Highlights: Mystery Train-Tiger Man / How Great Thou Art / Big Boss Man / Johnny B. Good

Compilation of several incomplete summer '76 soundboards in fair sound. As other, already released, shows from this period showed us, Elvis isn't in very good voice. He sounds tired and weak, although he sounds quite alert for all the shows represented on this disc. The October '74 songs were released before, but are presented here in better soundquality. (complete review will follow soon)

Was lucky enough to find an original. Although the above may suggest the opposite, I haven't had 1 second of regret for buying it. Review will follow this weekend.

I liked this one too,it's a mixed selection of tracks.
Not all rare,but the inclusion of yet another great "How great thou art" version,is worth the price alone!!

But above all,it's a good soundboard collection,and those are getting rarer in time now... [img]style_emoticons/default/dance.gif[/img]

This looks like a very nice release.

this sure was an odd release, but being that these are the same guys who were behind the luxor label , i plunked down the 20.00 , it's a shame that it is a compilation of sorts/performances , but all in all a balnceed version of the hartford show- tired he sure sounds it's amazing that he did a reprise of hurt , this has to be one of the most lacklustre performances of the song , i've heard, do love how great from jackson miss[ a complete soundboard] and a bit of some pro film exists from this historic performance], i'm sure we will get the complete show from ftd soon.
