 Nice Trip Back To "Real Performers" Aug 02, 2010
I grew up listening to Elvis Presley's music. Both my parents played the records and I remember his concert in our city. The CD features GREAT LIVE performances by the King himself in Vegas. My only complaint was the inclusion of the title song which isn't LIVE. It is not enough of a distraction however to impact what I think is a
NICE collection. The song selection includes American Trilogy which is an Elvis trademark, and my favorite "CC Rider". There are also amazing covers of Bridge Over
Troubled Waters, and Can't Help Falling In Love. Listening to this CD takes me back to my youth. It also reminds me how GREAT that era of Vegas entertainment was
and what a TREAT it was to get to see and hear Elvis LIVE! WOW!

 If it's creativiy you're wanting Oct 18, 2008
Listen up! It's in the music. On disc one you get highlights of some of Elvis' best live performances ever. On disc 2 you get a complete unreleased (at the time) live concert from Vegas '69. What more do you want? And no, there are no live versions of Viva Las Vegas known to exist in the vaults.

A nice set Jun 03, 2008
The first CD is the soundtrack of the Elvis Viva Las Vegas TV special. It has the studio version of the song "Viva Las Vegas" in addtion to some of his best Vegas performances, including the hits "The Wonder of You", "I Just Can't Help Believin'", and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". One of the performances that hasn't been included on numerous other releases is a nice version of his early 70's rocker "Patch It Up". Of course no live set would be complete without his excellent performance of "Walk a Mile in My Shoes".
The bonus CD is the first recording of one of his Vegas shows after his late 60's comeback. While it is not as polished as some of his later shows and includes more banter than usual, it is still quite good and includes some different songs than other live recordings like opening with a rocking version of "Blue Suede Shoes" instead of his later standard "See See Rider". It also has strong versions of "What'd I Say" and "Runaway".

While this is a solid collection, the import price is kind of high. You should be able to find a US release of this for significantly cheaper.
