Excerpt from the liner notes:
During the mid-eighties, RCA Europe had problems getting requested Presley master recordings from the New York archives. Often the answer given was "we can’t find it." Producers Ernst Jorgensen and Roger Semon were ultimately forced to go personally to New York and organize the Elvis tape library. They hoped to find all missing reels related to Presley.

After all what I have read so far...an excellent upgrade of the old classic....looking forward to it..!!!
Essential for newbies and a nice addition to any collection at any case....
This looks good, but this wasn't the opening show was it?
If this is the same show as Opening Night 1969 on Fort Baxter how come it includes Runaway and omits What'd I Say ?
What`d I Say was sung. during this show...it is a typo.....
I ordered my copy anyway . Ciscoking : correct me if I'm wrong, but as "What'd I say " is NOT mentioned in the tracklist of the Gravelroad release but it WAS on the Fort Baxter Cd, the Gravelroad show is thus not complete ? Thanks in advance for you answer. Always El.
This is the correct setlist for this release....
Opening Theme / Blue Suede Shoes / I Got A Woman / All Shook Up / Love Me Tender / Jailhouse Rock / Dont Be Cruel / Heartbreak Hotel / Hound Dog / Memories / Mystery Train / Tiger Man / Monologue (Life Story) / Blue Hawaii (excerpt) / Baby What You Want Me To Do / Are You Lonesome Tonight ? / Yesterday -Hey Jude (as reprise) / Band Introductions / In The Ghetto / Suspicious Minds / What'd I Say / Can’t Help Falling In Love / Interviews / Original Radio spots from Las Vegas 1969
Thanks for the info Ciscoking ! Always El.
