SPRINGTIME TOURS '76-'77

Interessant an der VÖ sind die Soundboard Mitschnitte aus Abilene und Chicago,mit einem gesprochenem Part von My Way.Wäre sehr interessant, das ganze Chicago Konzert zu bekommen.Aus der Tour gibt es noch keinen Soundboard.

SPRINGTIME TOURS '76-'77 new Audionics CD: As recorded live from the mixing desk in Johnson City, TN, March 17th, 1976 tour opening, Charlotte, NC, March 20th, 1976 Evening show and in various locations, March-May, 1977. Audionics 2010-01-2
The Audionics label will soon release the 2-CD set "Springtime Tours '76 - '77" containing previously unreleased stereo soundboard recording of the Johnson City, TN, March 17th, 1976 show, the original binaural version of Charlotte, NC, March 20th, 1976 evening performance and selection of stereo tracks recorded "on the road" from March to May, 1977.
Unfortunately both the March 17th and March 20th, 1976, 8:30 p.m. concerts were not captured in entirety. These tapes were recorded in binaural with the lead-guitar almost isolated in the right channel, probably due to an expected change of lead guitar-player. The March 17th, 1976 recording was mixed down to stereo and two songs were added in original binaural sound as a bonus. The March 20th, 1976 8:30 p.m. show (previously released as "Running For President") is presented in excellent quality in its genuine binaural form. These shows are fascinating to listen to, as Elvis’ band sounds totally different thanks to the new additions Larry Londin on drums and Shane Keister on keyboards, breathing new life into Elvis’ repertoire at the time. All 1977 tracks are stereo recordings made by Felton Jarvis, using an 8-track tape recorder.
Among the Johnson City concert highlights are a rare "Until It's Time For You To Go", the first live rendition of "Hurt" and a tremendous "Tryin' To Get To You". Unreleased 1977 highlights: "My Way" from Chicago, May 2, "That's All Right" from Abilene, March 27th, and finally another "My Way" - again from Abilene - including a beautifully recited spoken part! This is a truly sensational version, and the spoken part will no doubt give you goosebumps. A remarkable find, and certainly one of the most interesting discoveries in recent years! Note: some previously released 1977 tracks are included, because they are taken from the original source and containing bits of unheard dialogues before & after each song.
This new Audionics production will be presented in double digipack with a 16-page booklet. All accompanying photographs were taken on March 17-18, 1976, in Johnson City, TN, March 20, 1976 in Charlotte, NC, evening show and on tour in March - May, 1977. This 2-CD set is expected at the end of January. No doubt this is one of the most interesting releases in ages... track down your copy today.

Ich glaube, man kann schon jetzt sagen: Die wichtigste VÖ des Jahres.

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Allerdings nur, weil Dixieland Delight wohl ins Wasser fällt... </span>

Wichtigste ? Interessant zumindest und leider nicht von FTD ....

Drei 76er in Reihe sind ja wohl auch mehr als genug.

Dieses lässige Händchen in der Hosenkette...

Interessant wegen den 77 Sachen und der Tatsache, das es von den Shows Soundboards gibt..

Ich freu mich drauf.
V.a. weil die 77er Sachen mit Sicherheit ne geile Tonquali haben werden (so wie die FTD Spring Tours 77) und bzgl. der 76er Sachen, weil Elvis zu Beginn ´76 (wie auch wieder gegen Ende ´76) inspirierter war als im Rest des Jahres (und die Setlists noch etwas abwechslungsreicher und interessanter waren als dann von April/Mai - September).



Auch ich hätte gern mal endlich ein komplettes 77er Konzert (in der 8- oder 16-Spur-Qualität wie wir sie auf Spring Tours 77 hatten und jetzt wohl erwarten dürfen).
Da haben wir - wenn ich mich nicht täusche - kein EINZIGES!

Iesch brauche diese CD, Alder!
