Customer Reviews:

Energetic Elvis with substandard sonics.......2006-10-23

Another special-interest offer for the EP completist. This concert was from 1974, the year, it's written, that the Presley Show really coalesced. The under-appreciated vinyl live in Memphis from show '74, really brings home that point - Elvis was relaxed, yet vital, and the shows were well-paced.
It's fun to listen to soundboard/mixing board recordings because we get a sense of the kind of sound balance Elvis preferred. Ofcourse much has been written about his dislike of the mixes over the years. Here the background singers are well-balanced and the band has alot of "pop", unlike so many Elvis tracks.
Regarding the tracks, well, maybe he was a bit too relaxed - many tracks break up in pieces - but the good spirits absolutely pervade every song, and four hang together beautifully, namely "If You Love Me...", "Let Me Be There", "Steamroller Blues" and "Big Boss Man" - they certainly could have bolstered the studio albums from the time. I enjoyed hearing "Bridge Over Troubled Waters", associating it mostly with El's '70-'72 period.
There are three additional cuts, one of which might make the pupils dilate - "Alright, Okay, You Win" - done with upfront piano in a jaunty shuffle. It's sounds very unrehearsed, as Elvis seems to be in the wrong key and pitch, and once again the joyful mood comes through. Although, if you're looking for something as "finished" as the Peggy Lee or Louis Prima versions, forget it. "Blue Christmas" is worth hearing but nothing like the original or the '68 TV Special version. The CD closes with a remarkable "Trying To Get To You. Remarkable until it falls apart just before the expected big finish.
