Big Sister's Clothes Source: audience tape > unknown > EAC > Sound Forge 6.0 > CD Wave > flac/cd-da Sound quality: Not good although serious Elvis traders will find it listenable (mostly because it is the only known recording of a famous show and the performance and set list are excellent). Someone did what they could to improve the sound quality and it does improve after the first few songs. Second Set (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and John McFee) 01. Shot With His Own Gun 02. Accidents Will Happen 03. Sweet Dreams 04. Just A Memory 05. Too Far Gone 06. I Can't Stand Up (For Falling Down) 07. Watching The Detectives 08. New Lace Sleeves 09. Brown To Blue 10. Town Cryer 11. Alison 12. Good Year For The Roses 13. I'm Your Toy 14. (What's So Funny `Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding? Source: Source A + B > EAC > Sound Forge 6.0 > CD Wave > flac/cd-da Source A: Previously uncirculated soundboard Source B (patch for beginning of "New Lace Sleeves"): Previously circulated soundboard with significant digi-noise (a clean copy of this version does not exist) Sound quality: Very good soundboard. Comments: This legendary concert has always been a legendary source of frustration for Costello traders. The previously available version of this show (the second set only) is plagued with a background static that can't be removed. This version is a combination of three sources and is,at this time, the best available error-free version of this show. This concert was taped and filmed for eventual release by Elvis so a better version of this show may surface one day. Some sort of dispute with the Philharmonic's union prevented its release. Elvis has spoken about this concert in interviews and has basically said he could not afford to pay all the musicians. To date, only "I'm Your Toy" has been commercially released.
