As the previous (and apparently inferior source) of this concert has long made the import Top 40 among fans, this upgrade should be a welcome treat. It's easy to write off E's '76 but he did get some decent shows in long before late December and this show is proof of that. Here's hoping the ' Arrow comes through again.

Have received it today,the concert is fantastic,the sound quality is stunning! In fact it's better than some of the soundboards (the Run On soundboard,for example). 1976 wasn't a great year for Elvis, but on this night he was great. 80 minutes of listening pleasure.

Just got this fine release before Memorial Day here in the US of A: and what a treat it was to play on my day off...! Improved sound of a longer, more "up" show for '76 Elvis (just a tad off his late '76 form but stellar) and quite listenable, to the point that at times it doesn't sound like an audience tape! Well done, Straight Arrow, as usual! Fine packaging, including rare color photos and informed notes by famed EP foto-hound Bob Heis rounds out an exceptional package! Make more room on the shelf!!
