Verdict
Elvis doesn't sing as accurately as in 1973, but his good mood and relaxed manner make up for it to a certain degree. It also has to be said, that the king is in fine voice.

In 1973 Elvis had sold out Atlanta's Omni Coliseum five times, so Colonel Parker wasn't sure if the demand was still there just two years later and limited his client to a single concert on May 1, 1975. After all of the 17,228 available tickets were gone within just 24 hours, the manager booked the arena for the next night, too. The second show sold out as fast as the first one, so the tour schedule was changed and the Omni also booked for April 30th. Once again it was a sellout. In total Elvis was seen by 51,684 people and earned approximately 520,000 USD.
Follow That Dream Records released the first two concerts in 2017 on a double disc named "Elvis In Atlanta". As usual the sound carriers are housed in a fold-out digipak, nicely designed with photos from the shows. By the way: The final Atlanta concert can be found on FTD's "Southbound - Tampa/Atlanta".
As usual during this tour, the engineer didn't record the opening sequence of the shows. So we have to do without "Also Sprach Zarathustra", "See See Rider" and "I Got A Woman" / "Amen". The mix is also typical for the soundboard recordings made in April/May 1975. Elvis, his harmony singers as well as the guitar and the piano are very much upfront, while everything else is more or less background noise. The only concerts of this tour, that appear to have been properly recorded are the final two ones.
