Long time ago an old friend told me that this was (for him) the BEST Elvis CONCERT EVER! Certainly one of the best Elvis shows of three last years for me.

A new label? Just another re-release of a classic boot I have for ages. Very easy money for the producers of this rip off release and squeeze the hard earned crisis money out of their wallets. A newly discovered tape, ha, sounds the same as ever. 2009: the re-release year of Elvis' classic boots, leave those classics in peace! I think I'll give cd2 of showroom internationale 71 another spin...

Funny how these bootleggers are always finding "new tape sources". I think it's a lot of crock. As for this concert a paltry 16 songs. I stay away from the concerts that have all the band solo's. Elvis was really far from his best at this point in his touring career.

We had it already and there are better shows ..no need for this label to grap at the money of the fans..new source..?....HA !..forget this C-R-A-P..!!!

Perhaps I was a bit too harsh...the show belongs to the better ones of this year..I just gave it a spin...so at least for those who haven´t the original release a nice addition..not essential though cause the tour is well documented with AR`s and SB`s..
