Cool, what´s your first impression on Elvis-The Last Movies? . Bye for now .a mess of polk salad on October 21st, 2017, 10:09 pm wrote:Just a few quick thoughts on CD-2 ---Straight into a good See See Rider on first listen. Of course the intro is missing ...Elvis and the band sound good and in good spirits on the following songs too - "I Got A Woman" (with good-natured fooling) - "Love Me" - "Trying To Get To You" - and there's a quick sprint through "All Shook Up". Love Me Tender's intro is extended due to Elvis handing out scarves etc...YDHTSYLM is a pretty standard run through , likewise 'Fever' & 'polk' --- if you've got the LIVE IN LA FTD, and other era soundboards-- you'll pretty much know what to expect ...
I did miss his usual, "I'm Wayne Newton or J.Cash" etc intro , which he doesn't do here. on the first disc ( 25th) it's Chuck Berry ...
More: There's a decent 'You Gave Me A Mountain' and Elvis say's after, "I like that song!".
The Jackson Five intro is good to hear as Elvis say's their one of the hottest bands around ....More: It's request time and an audience member asks for -" Old Shep'' - "I sang that when I was about eight years old" say's Elvis ...before a decent "Help Me Make It Through The Night." Lisa Marie is introduced which is nice to hear ...BBM rocks with nice James Burton guitar and a short reprise ...then adios ...CHFIL
Just to add the 25th Tahoe show Elvis introduces hinself as Pat Boone, and not Chuck Berry. Just like to say after further listens these shows have revealled more: A just beautiful I'll Remember You - and indeed a very good Heartbreak Hotel = the sound quality is very good resulting in balanced sound mostly ...both shows are enjoyable and pretty solid ...I'm enjoying them ...
Thanks for the comments on the concerts, very much appreciated.
It does seem a little short, maybe ...
