Zitat:
Aber weil es nun schon einige Zeit dauert, nehme ich mal an, dass Du noch so ein altes Grammophon mit Handkurbel hast, gell?! |
|

also bei der Ansage Vor dem Song bin ich mir nicht mehr ganz sicher..
aber der Abschied ist definitv auf der Single enthalten aber mal was anderes zu der Single: auf der b-seite ist ja bekanntlich *America the beautyful* (zumindest auf meiner Pressung ).. weiß hier jemand, von wann diese Aufnahme ist??

Zitat:
Es dürfte sich bei America The Beutifull um die Version vom 13. Dezember 1975 midnight show handeln, wie wir sie von der legendären Baxter CD Just Pretend her kennen. Ich bilde mir ein das, Aufnahmedatum ist insoweit von RCA bestätigt. Desweiteren ist dies auch im Begleittext der Baxter erwähnt. Bin mir aber nicht zu 100% sicher, könnte auch die Dinner Show vom 13. Dezember 1973 gewesen sein (FTD Dinner At Eight). Tendiere aber zur midnight Show. |

Auf der 45er von My Way, is der Anfang, wo er sagt, dass er ablesen muss, weggeschnitten. Ich besitze die Single ;)
Die b-Seite ist von Fort Baxter CD Just Pretend. Genauso wie die Single auskopplungen von Softly As I Leave You und Little Darlin'! |

Zitat:
Folgender Vermerk war letztendlich der Grund dafür, dass ich mir diese CD damals kaufte: "... but listen out for beautiful versions of Help Me Make It Through The Night, Just Pretend, And I Love You So, Softly As I Leave You and America (the latter two being the versions issued posthumously by RCA - but not in this quality!)." |

JUST PRETEND
Las Vegas, December 13 - 1975 See See Rider I Got A Woman/Amen Love Me Trying To Get To You And I Love You So All Shook Up/Teddy Bear/Don't Be Cruel You Gave Me A Mountain Help Me Make It Through The Night Polk Salad Annie Band introductions/Johnny B. Goode/Scool Days Just Pretend How Great Thou Art Burning Love Hound Dog/Welcome To My World (4 lines) Softly As I Leave You America It's Now Or Never/O' Sole Mio Little Darlin' Little Sister Can't Help Falling In Love Closing Vamp Just Pretend is a very important piece of history; it's the first Fort Baxter soundboard release. I understand that before this only Hurt (Sunset CD) was recorded via sound desk, but that one was of poor quality with no high tones. On this CD the sound quality is "good" - not excellent as on the latest Baxter and Diamond releases. It seems that there's some mike overload in loud passages, and similarly it's very difficult to comprehend Elvis' dialogue because quiet passages are very quiet and he doesn't speak too loud. Sometimes the band and orchestra sound a bit muffled, with no specific instrument dominating - well, maybe the bass. One more thing to remark about the sound: there's the echo of the Hilton Showroom, very rare for soundboard recordings. The show featured here is from December 1975, when Presley was back in Vegas to compensate for the cancellations of August. He was exhausted because / despite he gave very good shows then. But now, he was back and, judging by this show, quite energetic and in a good mood. See See Rider is very good version, and the ending features some wonderful work by Ronnie Tutt. Elvis himself comments it, but I can't make out much of it. I Got A Woman / Amen is strong too, with "B-52" reprised. "Good Evening ladies and gentlemen, you know who you are and you think you know who I am." Quite funny welcoming, and a good sign! Before Love Me he has fun with a present from a fan - a hat / helmet with working windshield wipers! The Canuck's Elvis pages show some pics from the occasion. The oldies themselves are throwaways, nothing more nothing less - they're not messed up, just walked through. The highlights of this show include Trying To Get To You which shows Elvis' deep, strong voice, and nice licks by Burton. And I Love You So is very beautiful with the strings up front and EP's vibrato in control. You Gave Me A Mountain was seldom performed in 1974-75, and here we have some magnificent long notes sung by Elvis, high and loud. He is not out of breath as often in 1976, and he really bothers to sing! Help Me Make It Through The Night includes a finished string arrangement even though the song wasn't often done. Enjoyable piece of music! After some solos comes the two greatest, the title track (Just Pretend) and How Great Thou Art with reprise. Great! Maybe the best versions of both songs! His voice is warm, deep and powerful as opposed to the sharp sound as in the previous summer. I would say he sounds a bit like he has to slide his voice to the highest points - probably because of the three months pause - but his vocal range is as wide as always. Very powerful! The show features the single America / Softly As I Leave You. The former is obviously an early rendition, so it's not as full-blooded as lets say half a year later. The latter suffers because of the sound level; the recitation is not audible enough. Welcome To My World is requested, and somewhat unwillingly he goes through the first verse. Glenn D. remembers his part perfectly as always. Presley asks Sherril Nielsen for the Italian words to It's Now Or Never, and he reprises the chorus in Italian (a cappella)! O Sole Mio! All in all this is worth having as this is the only soundboard from the season, and because it has more highlights than usually. I really think this is essential for the seventies fans. © Joni Huopana, Finland.
