SUMMER FESTIVAL: REFLECTIONS OF '71 volume 3 - 3 CD Set

Now available is this 3 CD set featuring 3 audience recorded live shows from August 1971.

Volume 2 of the SUMMER FESTIVAL series featured 3 rockin' shows from his Summer Festival season in Las Vegas, August 1971. 
This follow up contains 3 more rockin' shows from the very same season. This set contains many highlights like the Beatles'  "Get Back" which Elvis only sang five times during this season. Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" became an almost steady on the setlist during this August season, but did not return on the setlist in 1972. Beautiful renditions of songs like "I'm Leavin", "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "It's Impossible" are also featured on this set.

Especially knowing no soundboard recordings have yet surfaced, these audience recorded shows are all we are able to enjoy.
A total of 3 shows are included in this box set. All recordings have been painstakingly remastered & repaired.

Included in this box set are:

August 20, 1971 dinner show
August 21, 1971 dinner show
August 21, 1971 midnight show
