:) Well...YES I just received my copy last night. truly outstanding package and best ever sound! I Must thoroughly agree with Ciscoking on this release!Booklet is VERY carefully put together with MANY photos and great liner notes i hadn't seen before. Even though the version of 'One Night' was sourced from a slightly less good audio source- THAT was the 'highlight' from CD1 for me! great Version!. Highlight from CD2 was a truly excellent version of How Great Thou Art-with Reprise! My Way indeed DOES suffer from Elvis stop/starting it again but the Audio is so clear i actually enjoyed it MORE! Overall a complete package worth of 9/10 for effort + sound and thats as good as your gonna get my friends! The bonus comments from Seattle (3 minutes)and Atlanta (stereo! and half a minute)are 'interesting and funny' and a nice inclusion in the total running time 0f 85 minutes.Overall its made me appreciate/Enjoy this Historic concert MORE and i now rate it as a 'good show' but not better than 'Good' VERY collectable and the ONLY 'Pontiac' release WORTH HAVING. :roll: :lol: :wink:

Got my copy yesterday and was really rather pleased with the sound quality. Not soundboard standard but pretty good for audience recording. I agree How Great Thou Art is excellent, loved Polk Salad Annie too. Superb editing at the few places where an inferior quality source is used, I couldn't hear the join!. A masterstroke to include the comments about the show from Elvis at the end....very funny indeed.

I have to back up what "YouDontKnowMe" and others have said: what a terrific - and essential- package! The sound is improved and this time we get a truly-deluxe 24-page booklet that hopefully will set the new standard! I truly enjoyed this release - a real feast of an historic concert. No, things didn't always go his way (the jumpsuit rips alone..., let alone the strange stage and extreme cold weather) but its a treat to hear 60,000 fans in a stadium going bananas for the King! As usual, "Straight Arrow" comes through. Buy without hesitation!
P.S. To Sirbalkan, these are import titles and so are rare but hunt around the internet and try things ike E-Bay.
