Notes:
A fantastic concert, one of the best in 1973. Elvis is in an excellent mood/voice and does a varied set-list, he even introduces Steamroller Blues as his latest single. [a pitty that he didn't do "How Great Thou Art" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water"]. The bonus songs are of a bit lesser soundquality. They are however a great addition with the "spoken version" of You Gave Me A Mountain as the highlight.
This concert was released before [in a bit lesser soundquality] on CD #2 of "Storm Over Portland" (1991) and on Back In Portland (1993).
