The ultimate site about the king of the analogue age
In June 2022 Follow That Dream Records issued another set of concert recordings from 1976. This time we got to hear the king's performances on September 8th (Pine Bluff) and October 19th (Madison). The sound carriers are housed in a 5" digi-pak, the cover photo was taken in Madison. As usual FTD didn't release their album digitally and stuck to the dying compact disc format.
The show in Pine Bluff was not fully recorded, the beginning ("Also Sprach Zarathustra", "See See Rider" and "I Got A Woman") as well as the finale (Sherrill Nielsens renditions of "Danny Boy" and "Walk With Me" plus Elvis' performances of "Blue Suede Shoes", "How Great Thou Art" and "Can't Help Falling In Love") are missing. Considering the source, the audio quality is quite good.
The reviews of the concerts can be found here:
Pine Bluff (September 8, 1976) Madison (October 19, 1976)
In early September the king wasn't in good condition at all, but since it was the final show of the tour he was ready to give what was left. In October he was in better shape and also included a few more or less unusual songs.
