OL' SNAKE HIPS IS IN TOWN!

(2-CD DIGIPACK STRAIT ARROW)  

CD 1) INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA, 21-08-1970 DS

CD 2) INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA, 21-08-1970 MS

From „The Rick Rennie master tapes“ Vol. 5

Friday, August 21st, 1970 Dinner & Midnight Shows, Las Vegas International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV Label: Straight Arrow Special Products SA/SP 2015-32-02 Coming out soon is the 5th volume of Straight Arrow's „FROM THE RICK RENNIE MASTERTAPES“ series - a double-digipak CD release, called "OL' SNAKE HIPS IS IN TOWN!", featuring the August 21st, 1970 Las Vegas dinner and midnight shows.

Of the six shows that Rick recorded during this engagement, the shows on August 21st, 1970 were his favorite. The shows captured here represent Elvis at his zenith. His enthusiasm for performing live in front of an audience is so obvious, and his powerful charisma shines brighter than ever. Interestingly, he performs 'Tiger Man' as stand-alone versions here, and introduces it as his "second record" in a very matter-of-fact way. He also sings a snatch of the Buck Owens classic 'Crying Time', which really makes you wish that he'd recorded a proper version of it.

The August 21st, 1970 Dinner show was first released in 1998 („FROM VEGAS TO MACON“) and reissued in 2011 („AUGUST RELOADED“). The August 21st, 1970 Midnight show was first released in 2001 („YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN'“) and was never re-released - until now.

As with every Straight Arrow’s upgrade, this beautifully designed double-digipak edition is limited to 500 copies. If you enjoyed previous volumes of the „FROM THE RICK RENNIE MASTER TAPES“ series, you cannot go wrong with "OL' SNAKE HIPS IS IN TOWN!". If you're a fan who only wants his finest shows - get it. If you're a fan who's not too well -versed on audience recordings - make sure that this one is your first purchase. If you are a collector who knows Straight Arrow and appreciates what the label stands for - then getting this new release is your # 1 priority. Another true gem from the label that cares.

1-CD ROCK LEGENDS)

No More Feedbacks ! - Fort Worth, TX June 3, 1976

This concert was released nine (9) years ago as a double CD set titled '' The Elvis Presley Show - Holding Down The Fort '' and featured part of the opening acts on the first CD. The original tape had some damages and omissions, and therefore the show was made complete while using the same songs performed a month later at the same venue. It was well edited and runs as a complete show. It isn't most popular period for Elvis' concert but the two shows recorded in Fort Worth, TX turned out to be rather good at the time. The sound engineer Bruce Jackson was on a lucky and bad day altogether, but Elvis' mood turned the situation into a good one for his best sounding man on tour.

This concert has been unavailable for many years now and no doubts some younger fans, or others who missed it would like to have this now into their collection.
