In short: we allready have quite a few CD's from this season, with 4 in great soundboard quality. Do I need to search for this CD and buy it?

Yes, allthough the setlist is wellknown and the show hides little surprices, it still is a great show in great quality. Some renditions are better than normal (for example "You've Lost That Loving Feeling' and "Polk Salad Annie"). The artwork is tastefull and the show still gives us Elvis in one of his best years ever.

No, the setlist is almost the same as the shows recorded for On Tour, Elvis talks very little and is less inspired and focussed than during -for example- the Madison Square Garden shows, or the shows recorded for On Tour. Disc 4 of BMG's fantastic boxset is better and easier to find. Same goes for BMG's "An Afternoon In The Garden". But if you have money to spare, this CD should be owned.

Soundquality: this CD has been released by the Premiere label. It's their first and last release. But don't let that fool you! The soundquality is fantastic! It's not as flat as many of the soundboards and has a nice full bass. Sometimes, when the intro of a song takes some time, it sounds like the sounds is fading away, but then all of a sudden it's back again.

The concert shows Elvis in a good mood. He's joking a lot and singing very well. The sound on the cd is ok and the artwork is properly done.

This is one of my all time favorite import releases.
Elvis was fantastic in concert in 1972. (y)

I know they are both listed as to be august 11 ds, but to me they sounds like two different shows..Think the date on "Blazing" is wrong, should have been august 12 ds.

You are right elvisia!
