Post by Walter Hale 4 »

9 live versions of You Gave me a Mountain. AI software can polish these up especially the 26/1/1972 one :D


00:00 Version One - 26 January 1972, Opening Show - Las Vegas - First Live Rendition
Wearing his new 'white pyramid' jumpsuit and gold attendance belt as featured on the MSG album cover. Elvis opened his sixth Las Vegas season on 26 January 1972 and the setlist included five new songs and an oldie which would receive it's first 70's live performance.
The second of those six songs was 'You Gave Me A Mountain' and listen to the wonderful use of the harp during the intro just before Elvis begins to sing.

03:30 Version Two - 15 November 1972 - Long Beach, California

06:50 Version Three - 3 July 1973 - The Omni Atlanta - The Spoken Verses Version

09:57 Version Four - 2 September 1974, Closing Show - Las Vegas - The "Desert Storm" Version

13:37 Version Five - 13 December 1975, Midnight Show - Las Vegas

17:06 Version Six - 14 October 1976 - The Chicago Stadium

20:18 Version Seven - 29 December 1976 - Birmingham, Alabama

23:26 Version Eight - 21 June 1977 - Rapid City - The "Elvis In Concert" Version
Included in the TV broadcast of Elvis In Concert this is an excellent version with Elvis making good use of the power in his voice during the choruses.

Version Nine - 26 June 1977 - Indianapolis - The Final Live Rendition

As with all of these videos, Leon says, to get the most out of the audio, recommends use of ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
