Desert Storm

Habe gerade angefangen die Desert Storm, mal geschrieben wieder zu geben und poste hier mal den Anfang, hoffe aber, dass man mir z.b. bei Stellen, die ich nicht verstehen konnte jemand weiterhelfen kann.
Kurz anzumerken ist noch kurz, dass bei den Liedern der text hinter dem Schraegstrich den "richtigen" Text anzeigt und der Text davor wie es Elvis singt und das Rot markierte die Aenderungen. Die fehlenden passsagen sind nicht die Punkte, aber die Unterstriche!
Die informationen am Anfang habe ich von Elvis-in-concert.com, wenn bei Comments, oder Elvis' mood irgendwas noch hinzugefuegt oder weggelasssen werden soll einfach sagen!
Hoffe sehr auf ein Feedback! :heart:

Comments: During this show, Elvis described a graphic account of a liver biopsy he had recently undergone, and later made his infamous diatribe about the movie magazines and the 'strung out' and 'drugs' rumors.

Elvis’ Mood: He’s sometimes really up and in good mood, but also pretty sarcastic – sometimes even agressiv!

Karate Monologue

Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Bill Cosby! (laughs) Ah… Elvis closed last night. I’m a little lighter skin that you thought I was. And I-I don’t have a natur… we’ll do my TV show, ya know. You know: Herl, I mean – ah, not Herl… what’s his n- Herbert! Hu-hu! Hey-ey-ey! Hey look, look, look! Somebody gave this thing here. Yeah, really! Somebody gave it to me. I’m-I-I just got a 8th degree black belt in karate, I mean… (clapping) After 16 years of-a-of-of doing this art every day, for 16 years. I was to wear the 8th degree. Which contains, let’s see… 8th degree- There is only 10 degrees of black. So the 8th degree. That’s which I’ve got this week. The 9th degree cares “senior master of the art”. The next one, The 10th is “senior grandmaster of the art”. So that’s were I’ve get to strive to go to, which takes quite a while, y’know. (long clapping) (Evis coughs)

Thank you very much!
Let’s go _____

Was am letzten teil interessant ist, ist dass er in "Until it's Time for you to go" denn text insofern spontan aendert, dass er das Subjekt total veraendert und nicht auf dieses undefinierte "you", sonder auf sich selbst uebertraegt.
So wird aus

Here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
=
Here <span style='color:red'>I'll</span> stay
Until it's time for you to go

Bei der Text Passage:

This Love of mine
Had no beginning
It had no end

Setzt er ins aktuelle Praesenz, also:

This Love of mine
Has no beginning
Has no end

Hier ist auch anzumerken, das sich bei diesem Konzert Priscilla im Publikum befindet und er auch bei You Gave Me A Mountain ziemlich ergriffen von der passage ueber seine ex-Frzu ist.
Ich will nicht zu weit gehen, aber es koennte was damit zu tun haben.

Bei Big Boss Man ist ganz lusig, dass "big Al" in "Jimmy" umwandelt:

But you won't let big Al stop.
=
But you won't let Jimmy stop!

Nur spontaner Einfall oder vielleicht hatte er da doch gerade James Burton im Visier...?




Hoffe es gefaellt auch und kriege etwas unterstuetzung fuer die fehlenden Passagen.

Frage: Was soll das hier?

Was soll es nicht? den anderen gefaellts! :hearty:
