Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Mastered by Jan Eliasson.

'Blue Suede Shoes', 'That's All Right', 'Are You Lonesome Tonight?' and 'Blue Christmas' from March 26, 'Tryin' To Get To You' and 'Lawdy, Miss Clawdy' from March 27, 'Jailhouse Rock' from March 28, along with 'Fever' from March 30, were all recorded by RCA on multi-track tape and first released on FTD's Spring Tours '77 in May 2002 (see here).

'Tryin' To Get To You', 'Intro's / Early Mornin' Rain', 'What'd I Say', 'Johnny B. Goode' and 'School Day' from March 27 (CD2), 'Steamroller Blues' and 'Help Me'' from March 28 (CD2), 'Why Me Lord', 'Bosom Of Abraham', 'You Better Run' and 'How Great Thou Art' from March 29 (CD2), 'And I Love You So', 'Fever, 'Love Me Tender' and 'Blue Suede Shoes' from March 30 (CD3), were all first released on FTD's Amarillo '77 in June 2011 (see here).

For some reason, the concert from March 24 1977 in Amarillo, Texas, was not used on this set, presumably as it had already been released previously on FTD's Amarillo '77. However, the concert from February 20 1977 in Charlotte was used on The Last Tours Volume 1, even though it had already been released previously by FTD.

The introductions and bank solos from March 27 in Abilene (CD2) have been heavily edited on this set, where they were presented more complete on FTD's Amarillo '77.

'Lawdy, Miss Clawdy' from March 27 was not recorded on soundboard, and was only captured on multi-track tape by RCA, so doesn't appear on this set.
