I presume that this are audience recordings ? If so do the fans really need those kind of releases ? I don't think so.

That´s very good. I do enjoy all releases from Memory Records. Certainly, I will get them all. Probably, it´s an audience record, but I don´t care. Keep them coming.

Fans should stop buying everything that is released, particularly the audience recordings that are most always poor quality. Be discriminating in your purchases.

it is very difficult for some elvis fans to discriminate when they are such die hard collectors. these people(including myself)find it most exciting when newly discovered titles are released, some people have had these titles on cassette for years and they now have the chance to own cd copies which will last a lot longer than cassette ever will. you have the option to ignore or purchase these titles whether they be good quality or not. elvis fans can choose and opt for what they prefer, i personally do not try to own every single release but then again i am open minded to everyone else and there decisions. if you wish to collect these titles or anything else that is going around then you go for it!!!!! and dont worry about anyone else and their opinions.

really outstanding memory records give to us the nearest thing to an elvis show speaking on sound terms. To the people not wishing having unreleased concerts in good audience sound I only can say you´re free to not buy them but there´re many fans with another opinion. bmg-rca mixing concerts or the soundboard releases are good but far of the true atmosphere of an Elvis concert. So for complete the whole piece the audience concerts are basic historical items.

Yeah, seems that these CDs will be good ones. I just love these great 1970 shows! Hopefully the sound will be comparable with DINNER BELL IN VEGAS?
