Editing Comments: Normalized volume after tape flip at beginning of T16. Smoothed transitions
between T18/T19 and T19/T20.

Sound Quality: Very good to excellent stereo soundboard although there is some tape hiss,
which is most noticeable during the (relatively few) quiet moments. Overall, I'd give this
show an "A-/A" for sound quality.

Performance: Terrific. 20 songs in 65 minutes. 10 songs from "Armed Forces." Several rarely
played songs including "Busy Bodies," "Moods for Moderns," and "Sad About Girls."

I was at that show! I was in the upper section. It may well have been my first EC show. I'm sure the show was great, but what I rememeber most was that Elvis was constantly swathed in a variety of fluorescent spotlights, often from below. The effect made him look quite the alien. It will be great to have the recording for posterity!
