One of my all time favourite Elvis shows, incredible show, released earlier as an afternoon in Nashville. Unforunately the evening show has not turned up yet.

Unfortunately there are not many soundboards from the the summer of '73, BUT there is one from Atlanta in June of '73. Might make for a god FTD release... hmmm Paging Cisco - Dr. Cisco.

Pretty good song set. Too bad it isn't a SB recording.

I always enjoyed this concert recording. Never quite hurt my ears, I've heard much worse recordings. Elvis seems to be very awake and alert on this show, which is very un1973like. I like the bit where he sings: till then, 830 tonight, I will rember too etc.

Cisco, according to Touchdown : " complete for the first time" and " in much, much better sound than before". Could this mean they found a new (and better) source ? Always El.

The source is new, yes...it includes Trilogy which was missing on the old import. Better sound..well....you must make it up by yourself..I was probably a bit too harsh..say..average..or a bit below..

Love the action photo. RCA-Sony should do some album cover photos, like this. This is a good show !

I think Elvis was fantastic during the tours in 1973, less impressed though with the Vegas or Tahoe shows from that year. However, the shows on tour all have average to mediocre sound quality, any chance of getting a soundboard recording or very good audience recording from a 1973 concert on tour?
