Notes : Unforunately the Hartford concert wasn't recorded complete by the sound engineer. Songs from the middle of the concert are missing.

Announcement: Hartford, CT, July 28, 1976, Jackson, MS, September 5, 1976 and Pine Bluff, AR, September 8, 1976 - all previously unreleased. First generation copies of original soundboard tapes were used in all cases. Unfortunately, none of these concerts were recorded in their entirety by the sound engineer, but only parts. The tracks from the October 6th, 1974 evening show in Dayton, OH are a "bonus" and are taken from a significantly better sounding source compared to the previous release of this material 5 years ago.

Amongst the CD highlights are fine renditions of "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)", "Love Letters", "Hurt" (with a powerful reprise ending), a very funny "Happy Birthday" sung to Jackie Kahane's daughter, a dynamite "Mystery Train / Tiger Man", an unusual "Blue Christmas" that's coupled with an instrumental version of "Jingle Bells" (!), a truly stunning version of "How Great Thou Art", a pounding version of "Big Boss Man" and a rare 1978 interview with Jackie Kahane.

  Concert: Again an average show with Elvis just doing his routine. Good selection of bonus songs.(Ciscoking)
