The press release:

Rainbow Records is going to release a double CD-Set titled Vegas Variety Volume 2� containing a complete and nearly 85 minutes long performance of Elvis Presley�s Dec. 11th, 1976 Midnight Show in Las Vegas.

The recording of this show has been taken from an early generation (audience recorded) Cassette-Tape and it has been carefully worked on using professional studio-equipment. So the Producers are again able to present exactly what their aim for this series of classic Presley-Style Vegas-Concerts stands for: a real good performance from Elvis� very last engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel in good and listenable sound-quality, rounded off by a great 20 page booklet containing a lot of information regarding the show � including a detailed review of the concert written just one day after it took place.

Hear Elvis, who is clearly in a relaxed mood, enjoying himself and doing classy versions of songs like Trying To Get To You, My Way, �Hurt. Elvis also does spontaneous versions of Reconsider Baby plus a gospel song called Until Then.

As a bonus you get even more highlights from the December 76 Las Vegas concerts, such as I Just Can�t Help Believin� from the Opening Show and Bridge Over Troubled Water from the Closing Show. We hope you like our second volume of Vegas Variety!
