Now Finally for the first time ever on CD. Now for the first time the complete tape recording of the first of these 2 shows: the August 23rd 1970 dinner show, which was only partly released on the double album and now in full, with only the last part of 'Suspicious Minds' & 'Can't help falling In Love' repaired with audio from the August 24th midnight show. Due to a little mistake the tape was turned off too fast, but he wrote down the set list. This show is hilarious, wild and loose: Elvis was in great spirits & the Hollywood cameras were gone. The many false starts indicates that he was fooling around and having a great time doing it.. With probably the craziest intro ever to 'Hound Dog', a wild and rocking version. With great renditions of 'Tiger Man' 'That's all Right' and 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' All phenomenal performances..
A fantastic and entertaining show where he combines humor and true entertainment. A sparkling show with no weak spots. Elvis was on top of his game ! This is definitively one of the finest performances of this season.
Do not miss your chance to obtain another winner from Graceland records !

For The First Time Ever On CD!
One of the very first bootlegs, first released in 1970:
The historic ... The Hillbilly Cat 'Live'! This was a sought-after double lp from canada, featuring two 1970 vegas shows (august 23 ds & august 24 ms) edited together as one powerhouse performance. Many believed it was a soundboard recording, but it was simply a great stereo tape, made from a front, center table. Now for the first time, hear it straight from the original tapes, enhanced using 21st-century techniques. The august 23 ds is the complete tape, which was only partly released on the double album. Only the last part of 'Suspicious Minds' and 'Can't Help Falling In Love' were missed by the taper, and repaired using the August 24 MS.
This show is hilarious, a wild and loose Elvis was in great spirits, as the Hollywood cameras were gone. Listen for perhaps the most delicious intro ever to 'Hound Dog', a wild and rocking version, for sure one of the best of this season. Also hear great renditions of 'Tiger Man', 'That's All Right' and 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'! This is a fantastic and entertaining evening, where Elvis combined his unique humor with true entertaining -- a sparkling show with no weak spots. No wonder it became one of the first, and most legendary bootleg LPs!
