This new double CD from Paradise Road records contains two live shows recorded live at the Long Beach Arena, November 14 and 15, 1972. Both shows were released before many years ago but are now presented for the first time together on one great new double album and in remastered sound.

Both shows are good sounding audience recordings, but especially the sound of the November 15, 1972 show is very clear. This is the best show of the two and what makes this show extra special is that Elvis' daughter is attending an Elvis show for the first time! It is clear that Elvis is proud that Lisa is present at this show. On this day he also gives her a concert scarf signed with a special message. You'll find a photo of this scarf inside the 12-page CD booklet.

As a special bonus we've included the presentation of the USS Potomac to Danny Thomas, a recording from February 14, 1964 - now in upgraded sound quality.  

This double album is a great document from Elvis in Long Beach, including great live songs like 'One Night, 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me', 'Little Sister / Get Back', 'The Wonder Of You', and many others.  Two complete shows, 58 tracks, including some pre-show recordings and fan comments from the November 15, 1972 show.
