Nevada Nights

A double CD of soundboard recordings from Elvis' August 1974 Las Vegas season. The first CD will include Elvis' astounding Opening Night concert where he carried out a major overhaul of his standard set list and included some very rare songs.

However as he was disappointed with the audience response Elvis returned to a more regular set the following night. However during the season there were plenty of rare alternate performances and with Elvis on good vocal form. It was a totally fascinating season, with Elvis on an extraordinary emotional roller-coaster ride. To be released in October

The second CD contains the complete Midnight Show from August 21. At this stage Elvis has returned to a regular set-up. Several songs from this show were made available on the 'Live In Las Vegas' BMG box-set in 2001.

It comes in a 5" double digi-pack like the FTD 'New Years Eve'.
