Presentazione:
Questo set deluxe completo contiene tutte le registrazioni multi-traccia, di cui si ha conoscenza, registrate durante le esibizioni dal vivo allo Showroom dell'Hilton di Las Vegas nel 1972. Tutti gli spettacoli sono rimasterizzati scrupolosamente con risultati meravigliosi.
Inoltre, tutte le prove disponibili effettuate sul palco sono inserite in questo set.
Tra le tante, sentite Elvis cantare canzoni come "Never Been To Spain", "It's Over", "It's Impossible" e "The Impossible Dream".
Durante le prove sul palco, Elvis canta canzoni come "Faded Love", "Any Day Now", "Something", "My Babe" e "Until It's Time For You To Go".
Come momento saliente sentite Elvis cantare "Portrait Of My Love" di Mat Monro. Una bella ballata che deve essere ascoltata. (N.B: Già pubblicata ufficialmente sul CD FTD "Stage Rehearsal")
È incluso anche lo spettacolo di apertura del 4 Agosto. Anche se questo è uno spettacolo registrato da un fortunato partecipante, questa registrazione è di qualità eccezionale e mostra il risultato di ciò a cui Elvis ha lavorato durante le prove quel giorno e quella settimana.
Il disco bonus completamente imballato contiene non meno di 16 versioni rare ed inedite ufficiali di brani in studio registrati nel 1972. Questo disco contiene takes alternative, masters inediti, masters non sovra-incisi e sovra-incisi ed ulteriori registrazioni alternative inedite.
