This is a highly expanded (three CD) version of the soundtrack to Dennis Saunder's 1970 documentary of Presley's first big post-comeback tour, designed to complement the restored reissue of the film itself. Disc one features the original album--which mixes live and studio cuts from Nashville and Las Vegas--fleshed out with seven more songs from the same sessions, including an impassioned version of the Beatles' "Something," and a honky-tonk take on Tony Bennett's '50s weeper "Rags to Riches."
Disc two features an entire (mostly previously unreleased) live show from the same period, brilliantly remixed, so that genius guitarist James Burton can really be heard for a change. Disc three features rehearsals for the tour, some recorded at home. The sound is often merely okay, but it's nice to hear Presley working with just a bare bones rhythm section for a change.
