Elvis: Hot August Night | FTD CD | August 25, 1969 | Midnight Show [Stereo]

FTD's must-have release, Hot August Night : FTD CD : August 25, 1969 : Midnight Show (Full Stereo), includes the complete live recording from the midnight show, August 25, 1969 and is presented in 7" the Classic Album format with 12-page 4-color booklet.

Elvis was in fine form on this 'Hot August Night' of the 25th of August 1969, a performance perhaps never to be beaten. For those that only read the summery of reviews, I can be quite clear, this concert is without doubt the best live recording released to-date of Elvis Presley in 1969, and is one of the best concerts Elvis Presley ever performed - both in sound quality and performance! Why? I could say, listen to it and you will agree, but I offer you an interesting fact, it was from this concert that RCA chose to use seven [7] of the tracks to make up the original 12 track 'Elvis In Person' album in 1969. This is 58% of the albums tracks. And this is from the good number of concerts recorded of which several have been released on CD by FTD.
