Elvis On Tour (For The Uk)

Product Information

Elvis´voice seemed stronger, more focused and controlled and he attacked the songs at a totally different and powerful manner than what was the case in Greensboro and San Antonio. However I feel that the better idea would have been to include the previously unreleased recorded interview in full - described in the booklet as "the most rare personal interview Elvis ever did" - on a bonus cd. Elvis On Tour comprises the audio from 4 of the shows (+ 2 rehearsals) that were part of Elvis Presley's 1972 North American tour. The critic considered that "there is no 'real' Elvis left", as he closed the review suggesting that the documentary "sanctified him". They warned Presley they would only work on the project if he acted naturally; Presley agreed he would.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. VERY present drums, a nice L/R channel split for lead and rhythm guitar, as well as female/male chorus. The disc includes previously unreleased takes on Kris Kristofferson's 'For The Good Times' as well as performances previously available only on 6363 Sunset Boulevard, Elvis On Tour – The Rehearsals and Amazing Grace (RCA 2CD 1994). The TCB Band are playing tight as ever, while the loose southern-funk interaction from both the musicians and backing-vocalists add something really special. Canby remarked that the film "remained unconvincing", as he suggested that the documentary portrayed Presley as he appeared in the Hal Wallis films he starred in instead of showing his private persona.San Antonio - The last recorded RCA concert, the penultimate show of the tour and two weeks since the first Buffalo concert.

Meanwhile, for Rolling Stone it was "the first Elvis Presley" movie, as the publication compared it with the content of his previous releases. There is a lovely clear top-end and it also places Elvis’ vocal lower in the mix compared to the bootleg. The backing vocals of The Sweet Inspirations, The Imperials, The Stamps, and Kathy Westmoreland accompanied the band. When Elvis on Tour hit the big screen in 1972, Elvis Presley was no longer the frequent cinema fixture of the 1960s, when he would crank out two or even three motion pictures a year.Finally while obviously “just” an oversight, the fact that Ronnie Tutt is not credited in the list of musicians is a little sad. Learn about the upcoming Elvis On Tour release in this special panel, where Ernst Jorgensen will “unbox” this exciting new CD box set and gives the audience a detailed preview of the unreleased music included in it. This may be the last "new" Elvis release that I really want for my collection (words I'm sure I'll eat someday).

Even then Elvis finishes with a serious version of, “Can't Help Falling In Love” including the great “Oh, Lord” power ending. I hope that Ernst Jorgensen one day discovers a "power line" of the multitrack concerts as a renewed marketing opportunity (just a hint from me ;) ) or that MGM takes money in hand and releases all FOUR 'On Tour' concerts complete on Bluray with new mix out. Elvis was forced to record way more material than he should have and did not like a lot of it, but he remained a professional and recorded what was required in the studio…the difference is he had control of what he performed live. The ‘oldies but goodies’ are fairly standard crowd-pleasing performances, however the inclusion of ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight’ is a delightful addition. See See Rider • I Got A Woman / Amen • Never Been To Spain • You Gave Me A Mountain • Until It's Time For You To Go • Polk Salad Annie • Love Me • All Shook Up • (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear / Don't Be Cruel • Are You Lonesome Tonight?

I’m sure that mainstream listeners would never differentiate between the four concerts just by listening after all they do start fairly the same. The stunning ‘How Great Thou Art / Sweet Sweet Spirit’ - “just listen to them, please” - combination is so well-known from the movie that fans might think that these were a regular inclusion of this tour, but it was quite the opposite. A soundtrack was not issued for this film, likely because of the recent release of As Recorded at Madison Square Garden (1972) and upcoming release of Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite, both live albums.
