the best of the audience taped concerts

[WalterHaleJnr]

Lets kick thing off with - Opening Night August 4, 1972 , recorded live at The Hilton Hotel
August 4, 1972 OS. Las Vegas, NV. Notable for pre-Aloha 'My Way' and post 1969 'My Baby' songs.b Concert was very workmanlike and Elvis doesn't waste much time between songs.

There IS still a PLACE for audience taped concerts, provided they're of excellent sound and Elvis is in good spirits in other words at his best.

This topic is going to reflect the best of these.

It would be good to have some input from other members...

A few (unreleased) audience recordings from late august 1973 have an excellent sound; I don't know there are clips on Youtube.
I have an audience recording from 13 may 1973 3 am show. This tape is very much better comparing the CD release and the tape is soundboard quality. Unfortunately the introductions are missing.

Thanks Colonel. Is that the one where 'Faded Love' is? Can you put up a couple of the songs in mp3 here some time?

By your request an example:
The first time I ever saw your face - 24 august 1973 dinner


When I take a look on this site I noticed the concert is released on two CD's. I'm only interested in (for me) new audience recorded concerts so I don't check everywhere about CD releases. I got most of my tapes in the 80's / a few in the early 90's and a handful later on. I'm not "hunting" for new concerts because really new / unreleased concerts can't be expected. The well is dried up.

Thanks colonel for that.....all live versions are better than the studio one IMO.
That has some nice sound.
