Unfortunately, I am not an Elvis officiando so there were chunks of the set that were somewhat lost on me (which were still good but more familiarity would have made them great) but I was very happy with the encores and had a good time at the show. Besides the songs I snagged (very crappy) pics during.. there were a couple of other stand-outs for me: "High Fidelity", "Clubland", "All I've Got To Do", "I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea", "Alibi", "Shabby Doll", "The Beat", "The Imposter", & "Beyond Belief"

Here are the two "straight-up" (not just snippets) Beatle's covers from the night's show for you to check out:
