Press note June 2016:
Coming out soon is the 8th volume of Straight Arrow's "From The Booth tapes“
series. It's 2xCD entitled "One For The Ladies" featuring Elvis' Dinner and
Midnight show from February 10th 1973. These recordings are taken directly from
original 'booth recorded' mastertapes. Both these concerts showcase Elvis in
fine form. It was a busy month, with many highs and lows, but thanks to the
outstanding success of the ‘Aloha' special, Elvis' reputation as the ultimate
superstar was now firmly cemented. There were a few off-nights due to Elvis
having the flu, but he was certainly in good spirits at these two concerts, and
he delivered the goods to two packed showrooms. These excellent sound booth
recordings capture the excitement of these shows beautifully. The Dinner show is
previously unreleased, except for portions of an incomplete soundboard recording
with a bass-heavy mix and Elvis' voice in the background (CDs ""Echoes Of Aloha"
and "Aloha, Jerry!", both on the Audionics label in 2013). The Midnight show has
been previously released on CD ("I'd Like You To Meet Jack Lord" on the Crown
label in 2002, and the slightly improved "Turning Up The Heat In Las Vegas" on
Memory Records in 2003). However, these older CDs have nothing to do with this
Straight Arrow's excellent "booth tape“ version.
Concert:
Dinner Show: I rate this show higher than the MS. Elvis is more committed and
delivers an entertaining hour. We have strong versions of Steamroller Blues, You
Gave Me A Mountain, Fever, the incredible What Now My Love, the beautiful I'll
Remember You or American Trilogy. Like it ! (Ciscoking)
