Publicity stated: Every tour opening concert was special and this one is not an exception. Listen to high spirited Elvis in great voice and good mood. And yes, it was the show that Elvis played in Muhammad Ali hometown!
July 23rd, 1976 concert is previously unreleased. This show is taken from newly found audience recorded tape and was never available in complete form and in listenable sound - until now! Carefully restored and mastered in September 2023, with a focus on preserving the integrity of the original recording. Hence, some minor hiss may be present; we felt it more important to preserve the high frequencies and natural ambience of the original recording.
This CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with local press review. All images used for the artwork were taken during July / August 1976 tour.
