| "From Memphis to Vegas / From Vegas to Memphis" (LSP 6020) was the first double lp by Elvis, but also the first official live album. The first album consisted of recordings from his 1969 Las Vegas shows, Elvis' first live performances since his March 1961 benefit concert in Hawaii. The second album consisted of recordings from the winter of 1969 sessions at American Sound not used for "From Elvis in Memphis", they were basically leftovers or had previously appeared as b-sides. In November 1970, RCA reissued the set as individual albums identified by the subtitles that appeared on the original double LP, "Elvis in Person at the International Hotel" as LSP 4428 and "Back in Memphis" as LSP 4429 |
