Three panel fold-out digipak
Announement (sic):
The second 2018 release from Straight Arrow is entitled Rippin' It In Cincinnati
from March 21st 1976 (2:30pm show).
It was the 1st tour of 1976 and some of Elvis' key musicians were replaced.
Unexpectedly, the result was a surprisingly fresh sound, with keyboards and
drums prominent. During this rather short tour, Elvis performed 8 solid and
entertaining shows in 4 cities.
The Cincinnati show is previously unreleased. Once again, this show was not
available in acceptable sound thus far. The only existing tape in circulation
was in poor quality. This was the show where Elvis ripped the seat of his blue
Bicentennial suit during Polk Salad Annie, and finished the show dressed in the
Rainfall suit. It is one of the very few shows where Elvis left the stage for
awhile (another example is Baltimore, May 29, 1977, released on our 2xCD
Breakdown In Baltimore).
This recording has been taken directly from a first generation copy of a
previously unreleased original audience-recorded cassette. This concert was
recorded by Elvis super-fan John Herman, who also taped the legendary Pittsburgh
1976 New Years Eve show, widely released by bootleggers and by the official FTD
label.
As usual, this release is presented in a deluxe 6-panel digipak with collection
of photos taken in Cincinnati and local press reviews. A couple of unpublished
John Herman snapshots were added, too!
Elvis and band were having a good time on stage and the audience surely enjoyed the afternoon in the hall. A good show with highlights like Let Me Be There, Steamroller Blues, Hurt, Burning Love or America The Beautiful. (Ciscoking)
