Recorded live at The Showroom Internationale of the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada,  wednesday, january 27, 1971 Midnight Show

Here we have the third show from Elvis' fourth Las vegas Season. During this season Elvis started using 2001:a space odyssey as opening tune before his appearing on stage. This is a great release from DAE with a lot of 'strange' songs like Only Believe, How Great Thou Art (One of he first times I guess), There Goes My Everything. All performed by a very commited Elvis, with a whole lot of rock songs. It has been said that this was the season where Elvis was getting tired of Vegas, but there is no sign of it during this performance. Elvis is funny and delivers a great and very entertaining show. The sound is a litle bit raw, but never annoying.  A must have for every Elvis-Collector, cause there ain't to much available in this sound from this time in Elvis' career. The last 3 songs where recorded during Elvis' opening-night, january 26, 1971.
