Tampa? Are you CRAZY??? Opening show was in TEMPE, Arizona. Ot it was TAMPAX? :-) Good show regarding the time, with best 1977 performance of HOW GREAT THOU ART. But sound is not very good - I assume these people behind it used just CDR that is in circulation for years.

Well, I'd rather listen to Easy Come, Easy Go instead of a "good show for 1977".

First, correct the name of city. Tampa is in Florida ;-) I have listened to all 1977 shows available (52 or 53 out of 55 shows). This Tempe is good one for 77. And certainly better listening (if in good quality) than any EASY COME EASY GO crap. Of course I know you dislike any post 72 Elvis.... I just noticed that this so called CD have also "design" copied from CDR. It will be another crap release, this is sure.

Lazy buggers...they didn't even make a new design to the artwork - they simply "borrowed" parts of the layout from the AR that's been circulating for years...

This has to be the back cover!

Maybe Tempe is southern for Tampa?

For all you Smarta** topographic wonders. Tempe is a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona.

The phoenix show from sept 9 '70 has been released, i have it and it's a fabulous show. This one i'll skip, Elvis should have been in Hawaii all march 77 and not on stage. Elvis was ill in march 77, very ill.
