Notes:  Because RCA chose not to record the actual opening show (31 July 1969) , this release will stand out as the earliest show fans will have of Elvis' return to live shows !

This one is a classic in the history of bootleg CDs. A complete concert from 1969 almost from the beginning of Elvis` live comeback. Actually it is not Opening Night but August 3, 1969 DS.

This show was re-released on several bootlegs. Also published on the official FTD CD "The Return To Vegas"

       
  Sound Sample:  Jailhouse Rock / Don't Be Cruel
 
       
 Concert:  This doesn't matter as the show itself is a classic 69 performance,  with no weak spot. Just lean back and enjoy a magnificent show in decent SB quality !
The monologue runs for 4:40 , Elvis describes his desire to return to live shows. Suspicious Minds runs almost 8 minutes !

The other releases featured a gatefold cover with a picture and liner notes by "P.H.M." inside.
