Hilton Showroom Volume 3

AudiRec proudly presents: ELVIS – HILTON SHOWROOM VOLUME 3 – a brandnew CD which will be released shortly. It includes an audience recording of the complete and so far unreleased performance from December 6, 1975 (Dinner Show). With this CD release Elvis Collectors should now be able to own every single show from Elvis´ second to last Las Vegas engagement on “real” factory-pressed CD´s.

Since his Opening Show on December 2 Elvis did only one show each day. But since this 6th of December, 1975 was a Saturday he did two shows, well known as “Dinner” and “Midnight” Shows. In the past Elvis occasionally had a hard time getting “awake” while going on stage for a Dinner Show. But that was not the case in December of 1975. The show you are able to hear on this CD release is just as good as all the others of this engagement. There is no performance in any of those shows that is not at least “decent”. Still there are fans who don´t like the Elvis of the “later years” but maybe they can make an exception with this engagement since it has too many performance highlights in it to call it mediocre or even bad.

Please be aware that this new release is limited to 300 copies only! Be sure to get your copy if you are interested. Once you have it in your hands, we hope your spare time will allow you to sit back, put your headphones on, flip through the accompanied 16-page booklet and listen to the show from December 6, 1975. It´s Las Vegas! It´s the Hilton Hotel Showroom! It´s ELVIS! Enjoy!

Ich liebe diese Dezember 1975er Shows.

Und das Cover ist wahrlich der Hammer !!!

Wie die Soundboard-Aufnahmen belegen, klang Elvis am Anfang einiger Shows recht schläfrig. Zudem hat er an einigen Stellen (z.B. während AND I LOVE YOU SO) eindeutig Probleme, seine Stimme im Detail zu kontrollieren. Dass er auch optisch abgebaut hatte, stelle ich jetzt mal hintenan.

Insgesamt waren die Auftritte sicherlich in Ordnung und ich glaube, kaum jemand hat unzufrieden den Showroom verlassen. Von seiner Glanzzeit war Elvis im Dezember 1975 jedoch weit entfernt.

Dem stimme ich uneingeschränkt zu. Ich liebe diese Dinger auch...

Ich stimme Dir in allen Punkten zu, Glen
...allerdings (und das ist mein ganz persönlicher Geschmack) finde ich den V-Neck nicht ganz so gut

Mag ich auch nicht so...

Aber den hört man nicht.

Mir gefällt der V-Neck sehr. Und ich finde es gut, dass wir das jetzt mal geklärt haben.

Genau, musste ja mal gesagt sein

Rüchtig. Dieses unerträgliche Schweigen konnte wirklich nicht mehr so weiter gehen. War einfach zu belastend für mich.
