A DOUBLE DATE AT THE GATE

(2-CD DIGIPACK) 
SOUNDBOARD RECORDING

On November 28 & 29, 1976 Elvis performed two shows at the Cow Palace in the flower-city San Francisco. These shows have been regarded as some of Elvis' finest performances during this busy bicentennial year for The King. Gathered here in a beautiful 2-disc digipack is both shows in excellent quality. Unfortunately the sound engineer was not able to capture the whole shows while recording, but on this release you will find every second that was captured. The sound on both shows has been remastered by professionals and has never sounded better.

"It's almost Christmas, so why don't we release a "new" Elvis live CD" must have been the thoughts of these producers of this CD. Well I think they're too late!

The November 28, 1976 show was previously released as "America, The Beautiful" in 1997 by King Records (good sound)  and again as "San Francisco Bay Blues" in 2011 by Audionics (excellent sound).


The November 29, 1976 show was previously released as disc 1 on the FTD release "The West Coast Tour '76" in 2016.
