The concert portion was first released on the Fort Baxter release "If You Talk In Your Sleep" !
The first
release of this concert was the audience recording "Down In The Alley".
This is a landmark release - Elvis was opening a new engagement in Las Vegas in
August 1974 , and was tired of the repetitiousness of his normal song lineup. The rehearsal in Hollywood (where Elvis owned a house) laid down the "core" of the "new" concert that Elvis had in mind. The rehearsal was captured on a personal tape recorder , and the tape shows
that Elvis was working hard to crystalize the concert he wanted to bring to the stage. RCA recorded the opening show in it's entirety , and this double cd release is the first (and so far, only) time both a rehearsal and
a respective concert are presented as a single release.
This is arguably the best sounding version of this concert , being digitally remixed from the master tape !
Released in a unique cardboard foldout - features stunning pictures and great text about the two important events. Arguably the most attractive and professional
CD release as yet (to include official releases).
