This fabulous disc documents the August 24th dinner show, not the 23rd as the cover states, in superb sound quality with gorgeous photos from that month. It's the essential statement from this initial run in Las Vegas, far superior to 'Opening Night 1969' (which wasn't, anyway). By the 24th of August Elvis was incredibly confident and his performance of numbers like "I Can't Stop Loving You", "I Got A Woman" and "Suspicious Minds" are superb. It's worth mentioning that the band plays the shit out of the songs, feeding off of Elvis' intensity. It's also worth noting that the last two tracks seem to be lifted from the above-mentioned 'Opening Night 1969' (which was probably a show from August 1st), and I would guess that DAE didn't have access to the same songs from the 24th. It doesn't matter!
