Seven years after "High Sierra" Follow That Dream Records decided to release more material from the king's Tahoe stint in early 1974. In October 2017 a double disc called "Lake Tahoe '74" hit the market. It offered soundboard recordings of the dinner shows on May 25th and 26th. The sound carriers were housed in a 5" digipak, neatly designed with photos from this season, advertising material, etc. Of course the product was never distributed digitally, you have to own a cd player to enjoy it.

Maybe FTD hasitated to release these recordings, because the mix is not perfect. The drums are a bit too much in the background while JD Sumner's bass voice is a tad too loud. There are also a few dropouts and my personal impression is, that the tape is running a hair too slow. To read about the inferiorities makes it sound worse than it actually is. There are better soundboard recordings of Presley concerts for sure, but these two are still good enough to be enjoyed.
