Die meisten Wiederveröffentlichungen sind ja absolut überflüssig.
Diese WiederVÖ halte ich jedoch für gerechtfertigt da die Original-CD ja schon lange nicht mehr zu bekommen ist und wenn sie mal bei Ebay angeboten wird auch hohe Preise erreicht.Sammler die die Original-CD nicht besitzen haben jetzt wieder die Möglichkeit dieses Konzert zu bekommen.

Wenn wenigstens auch der Sound besser wäre ...

Ausserdem fehlte auf der Run On das kurz angesungene Are You Sincere, welches man bislang nur von der AR kennt, aber möglicherweise ist es gar nicht auf dem SB-Band mit drauf.

... war nicht "Run On" eine von den Kandidaten, die sich aufgelöst (löchrig) haben?!

Nicht schlecht. Diese Ausgabe werde ich mir defintiv holen, da ich die Erstpressung nur als Kopie hier habe und keine Unsummen für das "Original" ausgeben möchte.
Es wäre allerdings nett wenn sie den miserablen Sound noch etwas aufmöbeln könnten, anstatt einfach die CD von damals neu pressen zu lassen...

Taniolo,

The Original sounboard of this show was more than 100 minutes.
It was edited for release since Elvis was in the mood of more talkin'' ( 30 minutes in a total of the show) than singing.

Also a double cd would have split the time each cd like 50 minutes.
So a decision was made to take out the stoned - talkin ( sometimes he was mumblin, you were not able to hear what he said )
less investment and cheaper for the fans to buy.

I myself would have loved the complete show for release though....

Andylon.

P.S .Included here an review from 1998.

Run on
Front Row Productions SIAE 5003 (Released 1998)

December 7th, a date which will live in infamy? This decent quality 1976 soundboard recording comes smack dab in the middle of Elvis' final visit to Las Vegas (15 shows in two weeks), from an up and down year by anyone's standard. Unlike his bright tour at the end of the month (now documented on "private" releases of spectacular gigs in Birmingham, Alabama and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) this show is like listening to a ghost. Given the spate of saddening recent soundboards from 1976, anyone who has heard the Birmingham or Pittsburgh knows that Elvis still had the ability to sing and entertain like no one else, when he so desired. In Las Vegas there is no desire, no joy and very little energy to spare -- he's a dead man walking.

The typical Las Vegas audience is one of the most impassive a performer can play in front of (no matter how great the act, they'll just sit on their hands like zombies) and it's obvious just how much Elvis hates playing there. This is the Vegas visit where he sat in his room and wrote philosophical notes of despair that Wayne Newton later bought at an auction. Perhaps this is one of those gigs where "Colonel" Parker dunked his head in a bucket of ice water to rouse him enough to make the show. He's exhausted from the first moments, complaining of a pinched nerve in his right foot making him late, and his voice throughout is flemmy and weak ("I got 17 frogs, all in my throat ... if you see me turn around and spit ... "). There's a draggy feel to the performance, which also proves that when Elvis switches to low gear so does the band.

Six songs into the set Elvis sits for some acoustic numbers led by his half-hearted guitar playing -- he claims the key of E is the only one he knows -- from the 1968 TV Special we all know how good he really was. "That's All Right, Mama" falls apart towards the end while "Blue Christmas" is just 86 seconds from start to finish, and it's a mid-tempo song!

"Softly As I Leave You" does merit a sincere treatment and songs like "Fever" and "Love Letters" emerge unscathed as well. He does "part of Hound Dog" as a request (the standard trashed version) and engages in amusing banter with a German fan but the best is saved for last.

At the point where it's usually the show closer "Can't Help Falling In Love" and a quick exit, he asks the audience if he "can do a couple of spiritual songs" -- someone yells out "you're the King" and he says "thank you sir, I'm fixin' to sing about Him". The Stamps are instructed by Presley to gather around the piano as Charlie Hodge plays and takes the lead (and Elvis takes the bass line) on "You Better Run" and "Bosom Of Abraham", recalling a similar scene from 1972 in his final film, the documentary "Elvis On Tour". The jam session only lasts about a minute and a half but it's a wonderful moment -- he seldom performed these numbers on stage and it's obvious how much they meant to him. Too bad he didn't actually tackle (as the title of this album implies) the gospel song "Run On" as well.

The disc finishes with the standard outro vamp leading into a pre-recorded pitch for a Christmas heart charity -- it's kind of weird, because if anyone needed a new heart that December, it was Elvis.

Ein Kauf hat sich für mich wohl erledigt, es handelt sich anscheinend um eine CDR-VÖ...
