 Review : Chicago Stadium 2 CD 1976 Soundboard Set From FTD [Two Concerts]

Chicago Stadium - is a fantastic time capsule of a much healthier, more focused Elvis as he began the final quarter of 1976 with a renewed sense of performing enthusiasm and that excitement comes through clearly both in Elvis' performance as well as the fan's reactions. All Elvis fans should dust off a space of honor on their shelf for Chicago Stadium!! Elvis is in fine form throughout the entire show, interacting often with the audience while putting on a terrific show. But Chicago Stadium is a 2-CD set and as terrific as the show on Disc One is, the following night's performance contained on Disc Two is even better!!! Read the review.
