Like A Greek God - Elvis Presley Bootleg CD

Press note:
The September 4th, 1970 Midnight show is a previously unreleased concert, taken from an original audience recorded tape. In 2005, the "Memory Records" label used 6 tracks from this tape as a bonus for "The Midnight Hour" CD. Unfortunately, the August 4th, 1970 Midnight show recording is incomplete, missing the last 3 songs. We have decided to add the same songs as taken from the September 5th, 1970 Midnight show to make the show "complete" for listeners' comfort.

The September 7th, 1970 Closing night was released by the "SR" label in 2008 in very poor, muffled sound, taken from a degraded x-generation copy (the "September Nights" CD). Once again we have used an original master tape and restored it to crisp, clear perfection. Elvis' crazy Closing night performance never sounded better - until NOW!

Both concerts presented on this release were recorded by same person. This release is presented in a deluxe 8-panel digipak, with a collection of photos taken in Las Vegas, NV, August 1970 and a press review.

 

Sound Samples: You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling' (September 4, 1970 - MS)

I've Lost You (September 7, 1970 - CS)
Concert:

Both shows are very entertaining in the true sense of the word. Since the Hollywood cameras were gone Elvis didn't take things as serious as he did in mid-August.
He had fun with the audience and was joking around with a few songs.
I like this relaxed atmosphere and we still can witness some great live renditions of songs like That's All Right, I've Lost You, I Just Can't Help Believin' or Bridge Over Troubled Water. (Ciscoking)

The concert on CD 2 has been released before on "September Nights". See comments there.
