ROCKandBLUES

SRRecorded live in Las Vegas on February 06, 1972, Midnight show.
As Bonus part of February 21 Midnight Show and February 22 Dinner Show.






The forthcoming release from the "SR" label is titled "Rock and Blues" and will feature the unreleased show from Las Vegas February 06, 1972 Midnight + two parts of a show preformed February 21 and 22, 1972.

As everybody knows SR concentrates it's work on early 70's live period of Elvis' activity, trying to produce always unreleased shows with Elvis at the top of his possibilities. This our seventh release, we are proud to present three very rare shows, one complete and part of two others so as to give you a more complete view of the season. The complete show from February 6th midnight performance is the first audience released recording from this season and in addition we combine the best of the February 21st midnight show and the 22nd dinner show to give you the opportunity to listen to a larger picture of the man and his music during this season. Elvis' love of singing is clear in these tapes and we are glad to give you the opportunity to listen to them.


The midnight show from February 06th, as presented on this CD, represents just one of the best shows of the season, If we look closely at the first Vegas act of 1972 we can see that Elvis concentrates on the music to produce great shows. The in-between song chat and banter have gone and each number is delivered promptly without even a pause for applause. The 'NEW' songs introduced do reflect the mood of the man and for sure the rocking days are over but the rendition of the early seventies repertoire is solid and sung with great ability.

Talking of these new additions we see some great songs, representative of his life from this stage on. Naturally we are referring to songs such as 'You Gave Me A Mountain' which has an autobiographical theme and 'An American Trilogy' which demonstrates his personal beliefs and patriotic views. Elvis also worked hard to promote his new single 'Until It's Time For You To Go.' Here are also included rare performances of Help Me Make It Through The Night and Hawaiian Wedding Song.


These recordings come from an early generation copy of the master tape, the sound quality is very good considering the season. The sound was restored in a studio to achieve best possible results. We have spent hours in the studio over the digital restoration of the sound, to achieve the best possible results and to give you the chance to hear it with pleasure. So enjoy our work and realize: this is the best possible audience recording(AR) of this season you can find all around! Until now we had only the opening night and a live compilation from BGM from the period 14-17 February. Here is the first chance to listen to a different Elvis in a complete show far away from nervousness of an opening night or a professional recording.


For the first time from this label, this new CD will come in a deluxe package with a 16-page booklet, containing a collection of live and candid photographs from February - 1972 and informative liner notes. Not a simple collection of pictures but a booklet professionally edited in line with the tradition of SR's previous one. We spent time to research good shots in a way to give shape to something different and an artistic layout hard to do overall because extended throughout a 16 page booklet.

die nächste "haben will" auf einer eh schon langen liste ...

Meine AR hat exakt die gleiche Laufzeit, deshalb liegt die Vermutung nahe,
dass die seit Jahren als CDR vorliegende Quelle benutzt und der Sound aufgepeppt wurde.
Doch ich kenn das SR Label..sie haben uns z.B.schon Setting The Standard gegeben. Sie haben sich bestimmt angestrengt, das Booklet spricht auch für sie. Die Show ist nicht schlecht und es ist tatsächlich die erste AR dieser L.V.Reihe, die wir auf Import bekommen. Deshalb..thumbs up..!!...

oh leck!

leiert wie sau das band und elvis ist nicht wirklich gut zu verstehen, also (für mich) schrott - vor allem weil man das ding halt schon als cd-r hat. bei DER qualität bringt auch das aufpeppen "im studio" () nix mehr.

Jetzt heiss ich einmal was gut, und jetzt das....

Sollte der Klang wirklich durchgehend so schlecht sein, reiht sich diese release natürlich nahtlos in die Kategorie "quick buck" oder "forget it" ein.
Denn dann hat man wirklich nur die vorhandene CDR genommen und eine CD daraus gepresst.
Es gibt zwei AR zu dieser Show, eine davon ist im Klang etwas besser. Die hat man wahrscheinlich genommen.

Ich sag nur soviel. Wenn wunderts wenn diesmal das SR-Team auch das Team ist die Rock In Black oder Heavy Times gemacht haben
Ob es stimmt oder nicht kann ich nicht genau sagen....aber gehört habe ich es so

Ich hab gehört, dass das SR Team von früher nicht mehr viel mit dem SR Team von jetzt zu tun hat, deshalb die Verschlechterung.....
