FTD Sources
Elvis Information Network contributor "Ciscoking" Joachim Bernecker has compared audience recordings from the Dec 6, 1975 Diner and Midnight Shows to reveal how FTD have compiled the second disc of their new 'Holiday Season in Las Vegas 1975'
The CD features the two concerts not edited but instead spliced mid-concert, presumably due to only portions of the shows being recorded or due to tape damage.
C.C. Rider, I Got A Woman/Amen, Love Me, Fairytale, Instrumental, And I Love You So, Trying To Get To You, All Shook Up, Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel, One Night, Polk Salad Annie, Introductions, Just Pretend, How Great Thou Art, Burning Love, Softly, As I Leave You, America, Can’t Help Falling In Love (last bars missing) It is half the Dinner Show followed by half the Midnight Show therefore only dated December 6, 1975. Several songs have been previously released on the 'Live In Las Vegas' box-set CD4.
