Las Vegas Dinner Show - 1973

Las Vegas Dinner Show
(TCB Records) (Liberated Boot) (aud)
15 February 1973 -

During this show Elvis had to leave the stage due to ill health caused by a throat infection - and you can hear how rough he feels as he struggles during You Gave Me A Mountain and Fever.  He clearly shouldn't have been on stage at all.  We therefore get the bonus of hearing five songs by J D Sumner and the Stamps which is a rare treat.  On his return Elvis sings his show closer Can't Help Falling In Love after which he decides to continue the show after all and battles on manfully through five more songs including a second rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love which can't have done his throat any good at all.
The show was also released by White Haven under the title Sweet Sweet Spirit and is clearly from the same source as the TCB Records release as the breaks outlined below occur at the same points.  Las Vegas Dinner Show has far better sound than Sweet Sweet Spirit which is full of flaws and best avoided.  This version shows that the original tape is pretty good for an audience recording.  You can hear everything very clearly.

Elvis - Orlando 1977

Orlando, FL - Sports Stadium
1977-02-15
*LIBERATED BOOT, The Final Curtain disc 2*



source: unreleased soundboard
length: approx. 37min. + bonustracks
quality: You be the judge

This is not for everyone, I added a sample so that everyone can decide for themselves whether to get it. For me it´s a no-brainer, as we have very few 1977-boardtapes, but the quality is "special".
From the boxset´s liner notes:
"The Orlando show was originally recorded in binaural with the band and orchestra on the right channel and the piano on the left channel. Elvis´ voice is almost inaudible on this recording. To bring back Elvis´ voice in the foreground the most sophisticated software to date has been used. Otherwise, this show would have been lost forever!!!"

The bonustracks all sound EXCELLENT though, even though I had to remove two tracks which were officially released on the FTD-release "Spring Tours ´77" (as noted below).

Orlando:
1. Love me
2. If you love me (let me know)
3. You gave me a mountain
4. O sole mio (sung by Sherill Nielsen) / It´s now or never
5. All shook up / Teddy bear / Don´t be cruel
6. Help me
7. Big boss man
8. My way
9. Introductions
10. Hurt
11. Hound dog
12. Can´t help falling in love with you


bonus:
13. Release me (Columbia, SC 770218)
14. Trying to get to you (Columbia, SC 770218)
15. Fairytale (Charlotte, NC 770220)
16. My way (Charlotte, NC 770220)
17. Moody blue (Charlotte, NC 770220)
18. How great thou art (Charlotte, NC 770220)
19. Blue Christmas (Norman, OK 779326 - REMOVED)
20. My way (Abilene, TX 770327)
21. That´s alright (Abilene, TX 770327)
22. Bosom of Abraham / You better run (duet w/ Charlie Hodge) (Alexandria, VA 770329)
23. And i love you so (Alexandria, VA 770330)
24. Fever (Alexandria, VA 770330 - REMOVED)
25. Hurt (Alexandria, VA 770330)
26. Heartbreak hotel (Kalamazoo, MI 770426)

*3 Unchained Melody by FTD - 60
An old boot LP record which was released in 1977. I bought it in '90s at 2nd hand vinyl
reseller shop. As 4 songs which have been released officially through RCA/FTD label,
I removed those 4 from this torrent to align DIME policy.
(There is a torrent which was banned 2 weeks ago, I researched again and found these 4 are
released. I believe that these only are offical track.)
This files are absolutly very bad sound, for example, I cannot understand what it was playing at "San Antonio Rose", however, some songs in this record are very rare so I hope
that this is worth to try listening. I hope you enjoy!
