Soon to be released is the latest production from the “Rainbow Records” label.
With their newest release they fulfill several requests from fans who wrote down their thoughts in many well-known messageboards all over Europe.
The upcoming 2 CD set will contain the complete performance of Elvis´ last show he ever did within his legendary Sahara Tahoe – Engagements – it is the Closing Show of May 9, 1976.

Way back in 1993 the “MAC” label released this show using a stunning long-box format.
Because this set sold out within a few months - being a real collectors item since then - we decided to give the very interesting content of the show another chance to be listened
by as many fans as possible. And to make one thing clear: this show is a real must to listen to.

Hear Elvis in a very relaxed mood, not caring at all that the hotel´s management is (still) desperately wanting to force him to do much shorter performances. In fact Elvis gives the crowd more than they probably expected, being on stage for the longest performance he ever did (a stunning two-hours set), singing, laughing and talking as if he would be together with a couple of friends right at his living room at Graceland!

While the first release of this show sixteen years ago suffered from being incomplete (on both editions) we have been able to find new – and different – sources of recordings.
These tapes have a listenable, decent sound quality for a fine release. We mixed the tapes using the best of more than one source.
Also the new Rainbow Records release will run at the original speed which is different to the MAC release from ´93.
The result is – so far - the most definite release of Elvis´ final Lake Tahoe concert.

A few words regarding the content:
Of course, you will find the tracklist at the end of this announcement, but we want to point out some real beauties of this set. A rare and unrehearsed version of “Return To Sender” must be mentioned as well as another rarity: “Young And Beautiful”. “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, dedicated to Linda Thompson and sung with passion. Elvis tells a very funny story about the “Boat Scene” in the movie “Blue Hawaii” and even sings a few lines of his “Sun” classic “Blue Moon of Kentucky”. So all in all there is a lot to discover while listening to Elvis´ not only longest, but also very unusual show! As a bonus we have included David Briggs´ instrumental version of the song “Lady Madonna” which at the time was not only used for the band introductions but also appeared as one of the leading tracks on his solo album titled “Keyboard Sculpture”.

Don’t miss this release. You will get another classy 2 CD set from Rainbow Records. By the way: Needless to say that its booklet will feature great liner notes on 20 pages in full colour!

Sieht aus das da wieder was feines komt! AR oder SB, oder habe ich daruber gelezen?

Für mich liest sich das,als ob das Label verschiedene AR-Quellen genutzt hat.

rainbow hat bisher keine SB´s rausgebracht und es ist auch nicht geplant, welche zu bringen..

soll heissen: AR
