The September 4th, 1970 Midnight show is
a previously unreleased concert, taken from an original audience recorded tape.
In 2005, the "Memory Records" label used 6 tracks from this tape as a
bonus for "The Midnight Hour" CD. Unfortunately, the August 4th, 1970
Midnight show recording is incomplete, missing the last 3 songs. We have
decided to add the same songs as taken from the September 5th, 1970 Midnight
show to make the show "complete" for listeners' comfort.
The September 7th, 1970 Closing night
was released by the "SR" label in 2008 in very poor, muffled sound,
taken from a degraded x-generation copy (the "September Nights" CD).
Once again we have used an original master tape and restored it to crisp, clear
perfection. Elvis' crazy Closing night performance never sounded better - until
NOW!
Both concerts presented on this release
were recorded by same person. This release is presented in a de-luxe 8-panel
digipak, with a collection of photos taken in Las Vegas, NV, August 1970 and a
press review.
