August 14 - Keep On Touring

The Touchdown Productions import-label announced the release of the CD "Keep On Turnin'" CD, their 20th release.

From the press-release:

This time we'll release the dinner show from August 26, 1971. There's no wow and flutter and the overall sound quality is of very good quality for an audience recording. That goes also for the bonus tracks which were recorded at the dinner show on August 31, 1971. The show itself was released before a few years ago, but this time the bonus tracks were taken from a different source which offers a much better soundquality than the released CD of the show. As usual the CD will be packaged with a beautiful designed 16-page booklet.

Tracks:

[01] Also Sprach Zarathustra (1.14) [02] That‘s Alright Mama (2.19) [03] Proud Mary (2.45) [04] I Got A Woman (2.25) [05] Elvis Welcomes The Audience (0.20) [06] Love Me Tender (2.31) [07] Elvis Foolin‘ Around (0.19) [08] Sweet Caroline (2.26) [09] Polk Salad Annie (3.50) [10] Intermission (0.42) [11] Johnny B.

European  / UK Tour?

It’s just been confirmed that the 'Elvis Presley In Concert' screen show will be touring Europe in April 2014 but sadly without the TCB Band. This is not the popular version that toured South-America successfully recently (and will return there in October), but instead it’s a low-budget version without the original TCB band members and singers. These have been replaced by unknown musicians. The shows are being offered by Live Nation.
