Technical note: As the recording of the January 28, 1971, show has several flaws it has been necessary to replace certain parts with recordings from the Opening Night on January 26th as well as fixing the intros of Johnny B. Goode and Something.

 

Concert:  The show is not bad but lacks the dynamics of the previous year.
Somehow the sparkle is missing. At times Elvis sounds a bit indifferent or bored and isn`t very much talkative.
Anyway we still have many great renditions of songs like You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', Sweet Caroline or Release Me. (Ciscoking)
