* recorded Philadelphia, May 28, 1977
Three panel fold-out digipak
Announement (sic):
The first Straight Arrow release in 2018 is entitled Philadelphia Freedom and
contains the June 28th 1976 show at the Spectrum.
It’s the summer of 1976, and America is celebrating its bicentennial. What could
be more patriotic than seeing America’s greatest entertainer in the city where
the countries’ Declaration of Independence was formed and signed? The Straight
Arrow team has been looking for a recording of this particular concert for a
long time… and they finally succeeded.
Compared with July and August 1976 concerts, performances in June were of a much
better standard and the Philadelphia concert is no exception. Elvis did a fine
show that night. The Philadelphia show is previously unreleased. Until now, this
show was not available in acceptable sound, and the only existing tape was in
horrible quality. This release has been taken directly from a previously
unreleased, original audience-recorded cassette. This concert was recorded by an
Elvis fan from Pennsylvania.
This release is presented in a deluxe six-panel digipak with a collection of
photos taken during the concert. There’s also some interesting liner notes
written by the fan who taped the show.
