ELVIS AT HIS BEST

"There have been many concert cd's released in the FTD series, but this, in my opinion, is one of the best. Elvis really doing what he does best, singing his heart. Taken from one of his first concerts in 1969, after spending 8 years making movies.
The versions of "Reconsider Baby" "Runaway" are amongst the best versions available and to have another version of that gorgeous song "Memories" is a treat. However for me the highlight is the monologue with Elvis just having fun with his audience.
If you don't own any of the excellent "Follow That Dream" series this is a good place to start.
Coming soon is the legendary 1976 New Years Eve Concert in Pittsburgh. I for one can't get enough of these specialised CD's. Buy it before it becomes unavailable."

"Follow That Dream Records is a subdivision of BMG Records that releases limited edition Elvis Presley CDs. These are CDs that they feel there is not enough interest in for a regular release, but Elvis' biggest fans would be interested in. Basically, these CDs are released in order to combat "bootleg" Elvis CDs. Follow That Dream had released several concert albums, and this is the best one (so far). This show is from Elvis' first Las Vegas series after his big comeback. These shows yielded the best live performances of Elvis' career. Elvis was in top voice, and he was really "fired up" to be performing for a live audience. As the years went by, Elvis lost his enthusiasm for performing, but at this point he was really into it. He sings all the songs with conviction, and seems to be having the time of his life. If you are going to get only one Follow That Dream concert CD, this is the one to get. I should also mention that the track listing on the CD is wrong. Track 4 is listed as "Welcome", but Elvis welcoming the audience is actually tacked onto the end of track 3("All Shook Up"). So, all the songs after "All Shook Up" are actually one track number lower than what they are listed as."
