great Cd elvis sounded great as he always did.the songs are all done great with a lot of feeling and heart you can tell Elvis is happy to be back on stage!the audio on the CD is good for what it is im not sure if this is a sondboard or what,and i know its not the opening night but you can tell it still early in the run,because songs like mysterytrain/tigerman is a little different instead of Elvis going in to the tigerman song after James guitar solo on mystery train he sings a couple more verses of mystery and then changes it up with tigerman,also bluesuede shoes sounds more like it did in his 50's performences,and the songs dont have the normal routin they would have when Recording officially started on Aug 21, but it is a great CD Good sound!
