Reel to Reel Recording of Elvis Presley Concert from August 11, 1970, Dinner Show at the Las Vegas International Hotel

Click play at right to hear a sample of the audio.

Offered is a "Scotch" brand reel to reel tape with a recording of Elvis Presley's 8:15 PM dinner concert on August 11, 1970, at The Las Vegas International Hotel. This tape captures a classic performance during the second "Summer Festival" at The International Hotel. This is the second show during that stand in Vegas--audio of the first show is also available as the previous lot in this auction. Elvis is in great form, joking with the audience, giving a Gatorade endorsement and talking about the movie being filmed, That's the Way It Is. It's possible the show was recorded on another medium and then transferred to the offered reel to reel, though it is a vintage tape. The sound quality could most-likely be improved by a professional. The songs on the reel include:

• "Opening Theme"
• "Thats All Right"
• "I Got A Woman"
• "Hound Dog"
• "Heartbreak Hotel"
• "Toreador Song"
• (above song is just an excerpt Elvis signs in falsetto!)
• "Love Me Tender"
• "Ive Lost You"
• "I Just Cant Help Believin"
• "Something"
• "I Cant Stop Loving You"
• "Sweet Caroline"
• "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"
• "Polk Salad Annie"
• Band Introductions
• Elvis introduces Sonny King during story about his 1956 Vegas shows
• "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
• "Suspicious Minds"
• "Cant Help Falling In Love"

The tape presents in playable condition, as evidenced by the sample above. Near Mint condition.
