Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Mastered by Lene Reidel.

The August 16 rehearsal is presented here in mono, although it was recorded in binaural. Some of the rehearsal can be found on the bootleg Autumn Gold (Audionics 2012-01-02) in binaural, and tracks 5, 9, 10 and 13 on CD1 and track 3 on CD2 have all been released by Sony, in binaural, on their Legacy edition of Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis.

The recordings listed on the cover as being from the August 20 dinner show are actually from the midnight show of August 20. Other tracks incorrectly dated are 'An American Trilogy' (CD2, track 11), 'Elvis talking' (CD2, track 12) and 'Elvis talking' (CD2, track 14) which are all from the midnight show on August 27, but are listed as being from the August 22 midnight show.

After singing 'Tryin' To Get To You', and while introducing Jackie Wilson, as part of the introductions (CD2, track 6), Elvis sings a line of 'Higher And Higher' although it isn't listed on the cover.

After 'Suspicious Minds' (CD2, track 8) the orchestra launch into an instrumental of 'Blaue Donau' ('Blue Danube'), which also isn't listed on the cover.

During 'Elvis talking' (CD2, track 12) Elvis sings a line of 'You Are My Sunshine' ("as I lay sleeping") and a line of 'We Shall Overcome', but these aren't listed on the cover either.

A second pressing of this set, released immediately after the ititial release, in October 2009, used an edited track 14. This was shortened down from 2:01 to 1:21 to take out Elvis' "Nigger" comments, and although there are no differences on the two different pressings' covers, they both still show CD2, track 14 as being 2:01, the second pressing of CD2 had a different matrix number (5060209750026#1-2 091012121 instead of 5060209750026-2 090910205).
