Best original live album

Matthew · #223885

Still in poll mode...what can I say, I'm a little bored right now! I vote On Stage.

Juan Luis · #223892

MSG. Will be even better when mixed again.

#223906

Madison Square Garden is my favorite! In Concert used to be my favorite until I found out the real truth that a lot of the stuff had been overdubbed and I was really disappointed after reading that, but it's still good though.

#223907

I voted for the Memphis album, On Stage a close second.

#223922

In Person is my vote. Elviswas in top shape and his band was on FIRE! I know there are those that will mention various overdubbs, but that doesn't detract from this relase for me. The only issue I have with it is that is it too short!

James Burton's guitar playing never sounded better. If there is a harder rocking version of Hound Dog, I have yet to hear it. Johnny B. Good, the best version of Mystery Train/Tiger Man, probably the best live version of Suspicious Minds.

The only song that I could do without is "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and only then because of the Millie Kirkham warbling during the spoken portion of the song.

The thing that makes this CD stand apart from other live releases for me is simply Elvis' drive and excitement to be performing live again, giving every song his all, with one helluva band!

As much as I love Live At MSG (it was the 1st Elvis album I ever owned), I have to go with On Stage, because the songs performed on that cd are magnificant, especially Let It Be Me, The Wonder Of You, Polk Salad Annie, and the rocking C.C. Rider.

#223931

oh come on, that is too hard!

MSG is one of my favourite concerts, he is just electric that night! but i also like EIC because of the amount of material it gives and Elvis's voice is very strong, and 'bellowy'. live on stage in Memphis, original album, well if only they'd put it out as an original album in ENTIRETY, i would include it

ok i'm gonna have to go MSG, i mean a just over 50 minute performance leaves a bit more to be desired, but the electricity of that show and the professionalism just wins it over for me

and yes, we need an upgrade for it!

#223942

I voted for MADISON SQ. GARDEN

IN PERSON would be my second choice...

#223956

Agreed...with In Person 3rd!

#223966

On Stage

Elvis was live never better than in 1970.....

#223995

MSG even I wanted to vote all options!

Delboy · #223997

Of the choices MSG, outside of the choices CD2 of TTWII SE.

#224025

Although I have probably listened to MSG more, I think "On Stage" is a hair better. But both are outstanding.

#224101

I chose Madison Square Garden. As mentioned above: if we have this concert remastered it will much better!

The Memphis 74 concert is also superb!

#224109

'Elvis Rocks Little Rock', because it hasn't got 'My Way' on it...

You aren't entering into the spirit of this, are you ?

It's On Stage for me.

Loved this on its original release !

A live album of all-new Elvis songs in great sound quality !

Later, we found out it took a lot of post-production work to get them sounding that good, but its still a fine album.

Rob · #224163

I had to go for MSG as well. I would have voted for the Memphis show if we could have counted the FTD version.

I'm sure almost everyone has this by now.

Matthew · #271126

Bump if only because I now prefer Madison Square Garden and well, because I can!

#271128

On Stage

#271131
