Original press announcement:
Expected soon is a new CD entitled ”ST. LOUIS BLUES” (label E.P. Collector, EPC 2013-01) recorded from the audience at the St. Louis, March 22, 1976 tour closing show.

It was the last Elvis show during his lifetime, reviewed in ”ROLLING STONE” #213.
Some of Elvis stable musicians were replaced and the result was a surprisingly fresh sound with keyboards more prominent. Among the highlights are ”Let Me Be There” (performed for the very last time), ”Steamroller Blues”, ”Polk Salad Annie”, ”Hurt” and ”America (The Beautiful)”.

Since the show is rather short, the producers decided to add 9 solid bonus tracks from the Johnson City, March 19, 1976 show.

This previously unreleased recording was taken from a 1st generation copy of the original audience recorded tape and the sound - though not perfect - is far better than any other known version of this show.

The CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with a collection of March 22, 1976 photos.
 

 

Sample Sound:  Steamroller Blues
    
    

Concert:

 The March tour from 1976 belongs to the best of this dreadful year for Elvis. Elvis was committed and delivered decent performances. This show is no exception. Pity, the sound is not the best. (Ciscoking)
