just received this new cd. The sound's impressive, quite similar to a profile vol 1 cd 1, although not in stereo. GREAT WORK. Great balance and mix, 0 distortion, and a great show.
If you want a representative cd from august 72 the show to have is STILL at full blast, as summer festival and i'll remember you sound so bad (specially rmemeber you) when compared to full blast that even red hot surprass them (even being an audience). Blazing into the darkness is recomended too.
F. baxter: re-release full blast with a proper artwork and reworked sound. Will be a winner and a surprise to those that couldn't get it 10 years ago.

Red Hot is really "sh*t hot" as BigRed mentioned already on another thread. And it's true, the sound quality on this one is really what they call "soundboard-like". It is more like from a bad soundboard though, but it does sond like a soundboard.
It's a shame that one of the multiple tapes that were used to record this show seems to have run out just a few songs before the show was over. But still, the guys who recorded this have done tremendous work if you consider what it meant to synchronize two or more tapes back in '72.
The show is really cool! Everything else than standard 1972! I was really surprised to hear "Johnny B. Goode" as the second song between See See Rider and Proud Mary. And my personal highlight: A great version of "Little Sister / Get Back" just like in 1970!
This CD is really a winner (for an audience recording).

Playing RED HOT right now and it's an impressive 'audience' sounding release! very, CLEAR and easy to listen too with all of Elvis easy to understand and CLEAR! 16 page booklet is a VERY tastefully put together booklet with page 16 featuring the back of the Hilton showroom summer menu from that season! for an 'audience' source a VERY listenable(MY WAY being a great example with Elvis, piano, violin and Orchestra so CLEAR to listen too! and such a classy packaged release from 'STRAIGHT ARROW'-nice!!!

A review for this release is now showing under Latest Import Review.
I would like to point out that the skip button was not used at any time during the compilation of this review. Indeed this reviewer actually listened to this release ALL the way through.....no half measures here.
You're spoiled on this site really!

Thanks YDKM. I'm grateful for your comments.
At least I know that two members of this board have read it. It's always interesting to know who reads them.

And a good review it is.Mike S wrote:A review for this release is now showing under Latest Import Review.
I was somewhat let down by the sound of this CD. While it is a very good audience recording, it is nowhere near soundboard quality as reported before it was released. The August 20, 1973 Vegas show released by Fort Baxter was near soundboard quality.
That being said, it is an excellent audience recording and a worthwhile addition to my (or any) collection.

I agree. It is also a little harsh at higher volumes.I was somewhat let down by the sound of this CD.
