From the Verve label comes the release, Elvis : City Of lakes '76 recorded live on October 17, 1976 in Minneapolis. This concert was released by FTD as 'A Minnesota Moment', however 'Verve' say, 'Unfortunately the original release from FTD left a lot to be desired'. 'It sounded flat, muffled, lifeless and very hissy. The sound quality was disappointing as was the 'artwork' which showed on top an outrageous bad done Photoshop job with Elvis' left hand'. The VERVE Team say they have done 'everything to improve the overall sound and as a result you'll get to hear a soundboard recording that should have sounded in the first place'. 'Now you can hear the show for the first time in the best possible sound quality'. 'Hopefully you can enjoy the concert now as much as we do while reading and flipping the sixteen pages of the booklet'.

The October tour in 1976 wasn't by far the best of Elvis, but it showed that he made a step in the right direction. His physical appearance had much improved since summer when he probably looked his worst ever. Much more important was the quality of his concerts also changed for the better. During the tour in fall '76 he gave some good shows with some strong versions.
