1. Review by Ken Jensen
This CD contains almost the entire August 10, 1970 show rehearsal. The sound is thin with a lot of tape hiss. Two tracks have been released on Elvis Aron Presley in much better sound. Anyway, this is a great CD that captures Elvis in his final preparations for the Opening Show later that night.
At times, Elvis seems detached from everything around him, mumbling the lyrics here and there, as if he doesn't remember them. It's amazing that he would pull himself together and deliver a perfect show just a few hours later, a show that quite frankly is among his very best.
This is the complete tracklist from the rehearsal, taken from FTD's excellent audiovisual documentary The Way It Was:
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
Polk Salad Annie
I've Lost You
I Just Can't Help Believin'
Something
Sweet Caroline
You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
Polk Salad Annie
I've Lost You
Bridge over Troubled Water
Patch It Up
Can't Help Falling in Love
Don't miss Hang Loose. It offers invaluable insight into the greatest artist to walk the face of the earth.
