It was a beautiful night in a beautiful city (Ghent). The concert was sold out.
This means about 6000 people in a giant festival tent.
Elvis played a typical festival set, with all his best known songs.
The public was fantastic - the atmosphere great: hear the people clapping and singing along.
Elvis was in a great mood - the Imposters smiled a lot at each other.
After a few songs Elvis was sweating a lot. At the end of the concert he was completely wet.
He ended the concert with the total knock-out: Purple Rain, Pump It Up and Peace, Love and Understanding.
My recording of the Tilburg concert has a better quality, this recording has a greater "ambiance".



The atmosphere was magic.
