"Concert: Disc 1 is an excellent fidelity concert from the International Hotel in it's entirety ! Again a powerhouse performance of our man with no weak spot. Excellent song line-up. I Got A Woman" has a slow ending !
This is the only known show  Elvis plays with "Holly Holy" , a song made famous by Neil Diamond , who was in the audience that evening.
"All Shook Up" is a false start , Elvis decides not to sing it and moves forward to the "Blue Suede Shoes / Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On" medley ! A joke he oftenly made during this Vegas gig.
Minnie Presley was a very rare guest !

Disc 2 features a soundboard recording of the show our man gave in Macon April 24, 1975.
This  concert was not recorded in it's entirety by the sound engineer. It was the first show of tour 13.
Elvis voice was great and although he gained some weight, the shows were solid with great renditions of Promised Land, My Boy or his latest single T-R-O-U-B-L-E." (Source: Elvisoncd.com)
