According to elvis-collectors.com:

This nicely designed two CD set (all photos derive from August'70) presents a full Vegas evening in Elvis land, with both the dinner and midnight shows from Wednesday, 19 Aug'70.
Right off the bat two things must be said: one, these are sourced from very good stereo, audience-recorded tapes and two, Elvis' singing is absolutely brilliant.
Anyone who's seen either 'That's The Way It Is' or 'The Lost Performances' won't be surprised by what they hear on these discs.
Tanned, thin as a rake and handsomer than ten movie stars, Elvis seems completely in control of the band, the audience and, most importantly, himself.
Here, despite being in Vegas, is an artist reaping the benefits of nearly two years of terrific work, from the '68 Special through the American Studios sessions the following year and a return to the stage the previous August.
Ain't it funny how times slips away?

Apparently recorded by the same individual, both shows are extremely enjoyable.
One can hear everything Elvis says in between the songs and the rhythm section is loud and clear;
listen out for Elvis' quite audible acoustic guitar strumming during the first few numbers!
Using headphones to dig this release is almost akin to being in the showroom!
One drawback, which should've been corrected by Rock Legends, is that Disc 1 is off-pitch, running a bit too fast (boo!);
for the midnight show on Disc 2 this problem is corrected.
