Need information on these Live FTD releases

[EP75]

I am considering purchasing a few FTD live CD's. I am looking at getting the following titles:

Southern Nights
Dragon Heart
Takin' Tahoe
Closing Night '73

I know that theya re all recorded in Mono. But can someone with good insight about these releases let me know where you would rate each CD on a scale of 1-5 (with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent) per on both sound and performance? Your help is well appreciated.

Hard to rate these but Southern Nights 5 although sound lacking a touch [but it's a soundboard]

Dragon Heart the sound is good but concert not quite cutting the mustard 3-4

Takin Tahoe is a flat concert for me -2

Closing Night is a very interesting concert that has to be played a lot to be appreciated and is one of my own personal favourites.
It's worth checking out all the reviews you can find about it.The site called DESERT STORM has many reviews about this concert worth investigating before you buy.

The fantastic book, ELVIS: CAUGHT IN A TRAP is an essential companion to this concert and features stunning pics and info from Elvis's Vegas 73 concerts.
I'll rate it 5.

i listened to Closing Night the other day, i was embarassed for Elvis just listening to it,too busy clowning around , having a go at the Hitons, if he didn't like where he was, he shouldn't have been there,and getting sidetracked with the sacking of a restaurant employee, not a good listen, interesting, but not musically, to think that this was the same year as Aloha.

Without a doubt, purchase Southern Nights first.

A very good FTD release.

Thanks for the information. You guys helped me a lot with making my final decision. The 2 I am hoping to get are Southern Nights, and Dragon Heart. The reason I am wanting these the most are for 3 reasons. 1)the SN release features a lot of the Huntsville shows which I was able to be at the last on June1, 1975. 2)my family (on my dad's side) is from South Bend, IN area and I have been to the Notre Dame campus where the show was done. 3)I am a HUGE fan of the live on tour concert releases due to the atmosphere of the crowd's reactions to EP. You don't get that from the Vegas shows. So I'm not caring about the Las Vegas releases as much.

Speaking of live tours, I wish RCA would release the lost Richmond show on FTD from April 10, 1972 that was recorded for the On Tour film. Half of that show remains unheard.
