The Elvis Presley Show

Right after the release of "Elvis - A Legendary Performer Volume 8" the Madison label will issue a double CD set titled "The Elvis Presley Show - Holding Down The Fort". This CD features the much-heralded Fort Worth, Texas concert from June 3, 1976.

About five years ago Madison issued portions of this show, unfortunately far from complete and in lesser sound quality. However, this 2006 collection will be taken from a first generation soundboard recording in superb sound quality. And the packaging will include a 16 page, illustrated booklet with relevant text.

For the first time, this "30th Anniversary Edition" will feature all the music from the "pre-show" with Joe Guercio and the Hot Hilton Horns, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet and The Sweet Inspirations. All these performances will be as presented that night in Fort Worth.

Highlights from the first CD include "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the Stamps, and the Sweet Inspirations energetic vocals on "Philadelphia Freedom", "Lady Marmalade" and a medley of Stevie Wonder hits. The stand up comedian Jackie Kahane's set was not recorded and will not appear on this release.

Elvis' concert will feature all the tracks previously released on Madison's Cajun Tornado, but this time in great sound quality from the first generation soundboard recording and in unbroken running order. Some of the previously unreleased performances will include "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Help Me" and many more.

Freue mich schon auf diese VÖ.

Die Pre-Show klingt echt interessant Madison gefällt mir immer besser... nach den genialen Legendary Performer CDs nun auch noch eine eine nette SB VÖ von vernünftigen Tapes gezogen.

Prima ein neues Soundboard für die Sammlung, aber ich hätte da mal eine Frage...

... ohne die Vorfreude auf diese CD zu trüben, aber könnte mir vielleicht mal jemand erklären, aus welchem Grund ausgerechnet diese Show immer wieder so positive Erwähnung findet?

Ist allein die Aussage von David Briggs (war doch Briggs, oder?), dass diese Show top gewesen sein soll, ausschlaggebend? Das Tracklisting finde ich beispielsweise im Vergleich zu den Shows am Ende der Tour in Atlanta weitaus weniger interessant.

Teile der Pre-Shows haben wir doch auch schon auf den CD's "Since Cincinatti", "Guaranteed to blow your mind" (wenn auch nicht von dem Tag) und auch noch auf "My, it's been a long long time" zu hören bekommen - wenn auch nicht komplett.

Ach, Madison.

Es sollen ja auch andere Soundboards veröffentlicht werden, da wird schon so einiges dabei sein für uns.

Und A legendary performer Vol. 8 kommt auch noch, toll, wir werden ganz schön verwöhnt.

Gibts vieleicht hier was neues?

The Elvis Presley Show - Holding Down The Fort

The Madison label will soon release a double CD set titled " The Elvis Presley Show - Holding Down The Fort, " featuring the much-heralded Fort Worth, Texas concert from June 3, 1976. About five years ago Madison issued portions of this show, unfortunately far from complete and in lesser sound quality. However, this 2006 collection will be taken from a first generation soundboard recording in excellent sound quality. The recording is not without any flaws as there are quite a few feedbacks during '' C. C. Rider '', a tape stretch at the end of side A damaged "Jailhouse Rock," and the recording of "Hound Dog" was stopped early on. These have been replaced by the same tunes done just one month later in the same building. However, the incomplete June performances are included as a bonus for the "soundboard collector" in all of us. And the packaging will include a 16 page, illustrated booklet with relevant text. But there's more!

For the first time, this " 30th Anniversary Edition " will feature all the music from the " pre-show, " with Joe Guercio and the Hot Hilton Horns, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, and The Sweet Inspirations. All these performances will be as presented that night in Fort Worth. Highlights from the first CD include " When The Saints Go Marching In " and "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the Stamps, and the Sweet Inspirations energetic vocals on " Philadelphia Freedom, " " Lady Marmalade " and a medley of Stevie Wonder hits. The stand up comedian Jackie Kahane's set was not recorded and will not appear on this release.

Elvis' concert itself will feature all the tracks previously released on Madison's Cajun Tornado, but this time in much better sound quality from the first generation soundboard recording and in unbroken running order. Some of the previously unreleased performances will include " If You Love Me (Let Me Know), " " Heartbreak Hotel, " " Help Me " and many more. Don't miss the dynamic 1976 return of The Elvis Presley Show to Cowtown!!!
