Elvis at his best.

Bad Points

Poor sound quality for such a top class venue.

General Comments

To me, this concert and the 'Live on Stage in Memphis' album from 1974, show that as live performer, on top of being the worlds biggest selling solo performer on record, Elvis was without a shadow of a doubt, the best 'live' performer too.
High energy shows, good reportoire, good backing, fantastic band, good humour and above all - the talent to really kick some.
By today's standards the sound quality is poor (listen to 'An Afternoon in the Garden' for a better take), but above that, this is a great show and I think all who were there will never forget seeing the 'King' at his best.
