"Event Number Eight" (The eight wonder of the world)
is a pretty good CD of an unusual performance given by Elvis at the Houston
Astrodome in front of 44175 peoples.
Matrix number Madison CWP 03 0090706. The phrase "Not for Sale" on disc.
Wrongly dated as Afternoon Show.
Sound Sample:
Suspicious Minds
Concert:
This show is unusual because
the Joe Guercio's orchestra wasn't there, it's only Elvis , his rhythm band
and his back-up singers. Given the above this soundboard recording has a
warm feeling of a very small venue since you cannot hear the crowd too much
(they were quite far from the stage). You'll certainly understand what I
mean while listening to "Help Me" which sounds almost like an undubbed
studio version. You can also feel James Burton , Ronnie Tutt and the other
members giving little extras for making it a fuller sound. Most of the
performances are excellent but some of the highlights would be , Trying To
Get To You , Johnny B. Goode , I Can't Stop Loving You , Help Me , Let Me Be
There. As with the first Madison release (Breathing Out Fire) the packaging
is professionally done and does look great.
All in all a very good show from a very good tour. (Ciscoking)
