Elvis was in exceptional form during the “Hot August Night” performance on August 25, 1969—an event arguably unmatched in its excellence. For those who have only perused summaries of reviews, it can be stated with confidence that this concert represents, without question, the finest live recording of Elvis Presley from 1969 to date, and stands as one of the most outstanding concerts he ever delivered, both in terms of sound quality and performance.

What makes this concert particularly remarkable is that RCA selected seven of its tracks—accounting for 58% of the original 12-track Elvis In Person album released in 1969—from this very performance. This is especially significant given the numerous concerts recorded that year, several of which have also been issued on CD by FTD.
