CLOSING NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 7 1970

Paradise Road Records presents CLOSING NIGHT.

This album contains the September 7, 1970 Las Vegas closing show with lots of fun and some nice rarities, including many false starts, the medley 'Blue Suede Shoes / Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On / Blue Suede Shoes' and Bob Dylan impersonations! This album contains some nice bonus tracks from the September 4, 1970 show including the oneliners 'La Bamba' and 'My Way' and also a short version of 'Crying Time'. These are great and rare audience recordings! PLUS some backstage recordings from August 10, 1970 (recorded and partly used for the movie 'That's The Way It Is').

All performances have been remastered and in the best possible sound.

This concert was previously released in 2019 by Straight Arrow as "Like A Greek God". The sound on that CD is horrible, so probably nothing has changed soundwise.

- I listened to this CD and NOTHING changed with the sound. It sounds exactly the same as Like A Greek God by Straight Arrow. Maybe this is a 1:1 copy?
