This Las Vegas Diner Show "Suspicious Minds" was recorded at August 26th 1969 and released in November the same year on the Double-LP "From Memphis To Vegas/ From Vegas To Memphis".
Here we got Elvis Presley´s "You´ll never walk alone" which was recorded September 11th 1967 and was released the following year, March 1968, on Single as the A-Side to "We Call On Him". Here we got Take 1. Elvis sung this song two times without a pause, so it´s like Take 1a and Take 1b.
Here we got Buddy Holly´s "You´re the one". First the Demo Version from December 1958, later released on the "Showcase" LP and than the overdubbed 1968 version released on the "Giant" LP.

This Is Take 11 of "In The Ghetto". Take 23 finally made it on Single (A-Side to "Any Day Now", 4/1969, #3) and LP ("Fom Elvis In Memphis, 6/1969, #13). This Song was recorded January 20th 1969 and overdubbed January 24th/25th 1969, Febraury 22nd 1969 and March 18th 1969. It was written by Mac Davis. Elvis sung this song between August 1969 and August 1970 Live on Stage.
Buddy Holly recorded this Leiber/Stoller song in January 1959, only singing and playing guitar, as a Demo in New York City. In 1968 the song was overdubbed for LP release the following year, on GIANT.
Here we have both versions. Decide yourself which one´s better. In my point of few I think they did a good job on this one (maybe the best work on any Buddy Holly Demo).
