What is there to say about this book. It holds a lot of very nice pictures of Elvis taken during the November tour 1970 at the Forum of Inglewood, Los Angeles Ca, some photograph's of the Houston Astrodome performance, February/March 1970, 8 pictures taken june 29, 1973, at the Omni Coliseum, Atlanta Georgia, then some which show Elvis signing autographs and rehearsing in Las Vegas, July - August 1970, some Las Vegas stage shots, august 1970. We have photo's from the september tour, 1970,  and some beautiful pics  from 1975 where Elvis is signing autographs on an airport or something. Not bad at all for a photo-book. But...the book is quite pricy (about 80 dollars), all the pictures are Black and White, some of these in very bad picture-quality, and the liner-notes are  ridicilous.! On every page is a remark or a story Elvis made or told on stage, from 1969 untill 1977. So here we have some beautifull pics of Elvis performing in the prime of his life, and when you read the linernotes you might read the drugs-story from september 2, 1974. What a contrast to the man on the photo.! Paul Lichter, who states to be a 'good' friend of Elvis (Which I doubt, but who am I?), shows absolutely no creativity, and the linernotes take away a lot of the glance and class this book could have had. And for his price he could have included some color photographs. But just because of the great photo's it is a nice phtobook, and that's what's it meant to be I guess.
