SOUNDBOARD RECORDING
Welcome
to the third CD release by TNT Records. Again with a little help from our
friends at “Audionics” - probably THE premium and still active label when
it comes to rare recordings in best possible sound - we decided once more to
pick this time three shows from “Tour Number 14” (May 30 – June 10, 1975). On
this brandnew 3 CD set (Release Date: Early May 2014) you are going to hear the
three 1975 concerts Elvis did in Jackson, Mississippi (two shows June 8, one
show June 9).
Barely
over 200 miles or a 3-hour drive from home - on June 8 and 9, 1975 Elvis had
Jackson, Mississippi on his tour schedule to play three concerts in two days at
the State Fair Coliseum. Tour Number 14 saw its end coming with just another 4
shows in total to do. From all audible and visual experiences listeners of the
Jackson-Shows can have it might only be fair to say that Elvis had quite a lot
of fun doing what he loved to do: Just being Elvis Presley, singing “his” songs
and entertaining the thousands of people who came to see him live in Concert,
paying either the regular ticket price or whatever the many ticket scalpers
asked for.
The
first of the three shows – the afternoon show from June 8 – has been released
exactly a decade ago and was titled “Fly T-R-O-U-B-L-E” – it seemed a perfect
title for this release because the minute Elvis entered the stage the whole
area around him was swarming with flies. On the recording you can hear several
jokes and references to those little beasts throughout some parts of the show!
The evening performance of this day brings another perfectly motivated Elvis on
stage and he delivers another great mixture of “Oldies but Goldies”, Gospels
and contemporary titles such as “An American Trilogy” and “The Wonder Of You”.
The concert from June 9 (there was only one show this day) can – again – be
called “a great performance”. RCA used “Why Me, Lord” from this show on the
1980 “Silver Box” (called “Elvis Aron Presley” – originally released on vinyl
as a 8-LP Box). Another nice detail regarding this show: Elvis performed a
spontaneous version of “Help Me Make It Through The Night”, the only time he
did this song on the whole tour.
If you
have missed the show´s first releases from approximately 10 years ago or if you
want to owe them in even better sound than before plus exactly the way they
were recorded (without the standard “2001 Theme / See See Rider” opening) you
should not miss this great new 3 CD set! You can also expect a great 24-pages
booklet full of photos and information including newspaper articles and
original paperwork. Ask your local dealer for it, he should have it right in
time around the scheduled release date for you!
