Press note:
The forthcoming release from the "SR" label is titled "Moving Forward"
and will feature the unreleased show from Las Vegas February 22, 1970 ds.
As everybody knows SR concentrates it's work on early 70's live period
of Elvis' activity, trying to produce always unreleased shows with Elvis
at the top of his possibilities. With the new release, we are proud to
present the complete show from February 22th dinner show, a rare show
from a Vegas winter season always poor of official and unofficial
releases.. Elvis' love of singing is clear in this tape and we are glad
to give you the opportunity to listen to it. The Vegas second season
allows Elvis, after paying his debt to the golden past in the ’69
season, to demonstrate his true abilities. We see the best of Elvis in
songs that will become the fulcrum of the Elvis show until 1972.The
midnight show from February 22th, represents very well the shows of the
season, the absence of mostly of the classic repertoire from the golden
era, as newspaper noted make to think that Elvis is moving toward a more
contemporary repertoire… …The combination of all his latest four singles
with the new songs although covers, give to listener something unique
that unfortunately will be no repeated in the future.. at least with
this intensity.. yes we are talking about covers but Elvis still has the
ability to take a song and turn it in HIS song…Polk Salad Annie or See
See Rider are the perfect example.
Talking about the show , the show is solid and rough no too long the
classic 60 minutes of pure energy , Elvis worked hard performing 14
songs, including his new single “Kentucky Rain.” together the best
repertoire of the season. Talking about best songs is always hard
overall in this kind of show where all the songs are very well
performed, however surely we appreciated the incredible Walk a Mile in
My Shoes/In the Ghetto medley.
This recording come from an early generation copy of the master tape,
the sound quality is good considering the early season. The sound was
restored in a studio to achieve best possible results. We have spent
hours in the studio over the digital restoration of the sound, to
achieve the best possible results and to give you the chance to hear it
with pleasure.
This new CD will come with the classic of deluxe Digipack four panels,
containing a collection of live photographs from the Season + newspaper
clip . |
