Announcement: The latest upcoming box set release from the "International" label titled "Showroom Internationale 1971" will be released 24th August 2009.
In conjunction with "DAE" this release will feature a brand new unreleased soundboard performance from the closing night Jan/Feb 1971 Las Vegas engagement, the February 23rd 8pm show.
The 2CD/Book set will also feature the January 28th Midnight show (previously released on the Fort Baxter label as "Lean Mean and Kicking Butt") but this time, unlike before, it is directly mastered from the original reel tapes thus clearly showing vast noticeable sound improvements to its original release. All the audio restoration and remastering are by DAE.
This package also has an accompanying 100-page glossy hardback book featuring great unreleased photographs from the time, as well as a detailed essay encapsulating the actual engagement in January / February which help in putting this time-frame into some historical perspective by looking at what went before and afterwards.
This will be the last major release from the International label and the fabulous box set release has only a limited edition run of 999 copies.

Concert:

I would consider the first show as the better one out of these two which are featured here.
Elvis sounds fresher and more committed whereas on closing night he seems like wanting to bring the whole thing to an end and as soon as possible.
Many songs are rushed and he hardly talks. Polk Salad Annie, How Great Thou Art and Bridge Over Troubled Water are highlights though. (Ciscoking)
