* If not for some mastering errors, the FTD New Years Eve would've been my choice

I enjoy the original 1977 Spirit Of America Records LP Rockin' With Elvis New Years' Eve
Not sure if this was transferred directly to CD...



Adios, The Final Performance is also an excellent sounding release for the June 26th show.

The CD I suggested for the first was apparently dubbed from a test pressing of the original double LP classic.

The other is taken from the same source as Adios, but you get the opening set as well.

Compare Adios with Final Farewell. FF sounds very muddy by comparison. Source tape is the same but EQ is very different.

Only on the tracks featuring J.D. Sumner.

Final Countdown to midnight for me for Pittsburgh

Never really a fan of Indianaoplis tbh but the final performance , I have the final curtain version, Adios and the final performance , The sound great but the speed of the band playing to help Elvis was awful compared to Cincinnati the day night before.
