44 Years Ago

On June 7, 1982, Graceland opened its doors to Elvis fans for the very first time, and the fans never stopped coming to Memphis. 

On this day 44 years ago, Elvis Presley fans were beginning to line up in front of 3764 Elvis Presley Blvd in Memphis, Tennessee. With their $5 in hand, they were about to experience Graceland Mansion, the late "King's" home, in a way that they'd only dreamed of before.

"I quickly learned that Graceland was in serious trouble," Priscilla wrote in her memoir, 'Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis'. "The care of the grounds, the staff salaries, the animals requiring care, all were ongoing expenses. With no funds coming in, the upkeep was unsustainable."

Nowadays, more musicians' homes that have been opened to the public since their owners died. But in 1982, the idea of touring your idol's home was mostly unheard of, especially for someone as famous and beloved as Presley.

Today, Graceland stands as the second-most-visited home in the United States, outpaced only by the White House. More than 500,000 people flock to Memphis every year to step inside the King's home, a pilgrimage that comes with a price tag, ranging from an US$85 base ticket to upwards of US$260 for total access.

June 03 - EPiC Streaming From Lake Tahoe

Following its successful global theatrical release, the movie 'EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert' debuted exclusively on Paramount+ in the United Stated and will debut in Canada on July 24th.

The Last Show In Lake Tahoe

The ReelTrax import record label released 'The Last Show In Lake Tahoe' on CD and a variation of colored vinyl.

The LP can be ordered from the >>> Fifties Store website.

Publicity stated: Right in time for the 50th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's very last show he played in Lake Tahoe on Mother's Day 1976. ReelTrax continues with its high quality products and releases this show for the first time on vinyl and made for the real fan. 

As usual these titles are Limited Edition: 200 copies made on black vinyl and on three colors transparent vinyl (yellow, green and blue). This release will also be available as a Deluxe three-panel double CD-set.

‘The Last Show In Lake Tahoe’ is a beautiful deluxe 3-LP set with printed inner-sleeves, containing intensive liner notes, and containing a newly remastered audience recording of the May 9th, 1976 show performance at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel in Lake Tahoe! 

Back in 1993 the MAC import record label released this show on CD, using a stunning long-box format, but unfortunately incomplete. Because this set sold out within a few months - being a real collector’s item since then – the well-known quality label Rainbow Records decided to give the very interesting content of the show another chance to be listened by as many fans as possible and released a 2-CD set in 2008, then containing the complete show and in better sound. 

One thing seems to be clear: This show is a real must to listen to. Elvis was obviously in a very relaxed mood, not caring at all that the hotel’s management was (still) desperately wanting to force him to do much shorter concerts. In fact Elvis gave the crowd more than they probably expected, being on stage for the longest performance he ever did (a stunning two-hours set), singing, laughing and talking as if he would be together with a couple of friends right at his living room at Graceland!

The recording has now been painstakingly worked on with the newest technology, and ReelTrax is now proud to present a newly remastered version in the best possible sound which reveals details never heard before!

A few words regarding the content. Of course, you will find the track list at the end of this announcement, but we want to point out some real beauties of this set. A rare and unrehearsed version of ‘Return To Sender’ must be mentioned as well as another rarity: ‘Young And Beautiful’. ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’, dedicated to Linda Thompson and sung with passion. 

Elvis tells a very funny story about the “Boat Scene” in the movie ‘Blue Hawaii’ and even sings a few lines of his SUN classic ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’. So all in all there is a lot to discover while listening to Elvis’ not only longest, but also very unusual show!

June 01 - Destined To Roll All Over Vegas

The new Panther Records import label announced the release of 'About To Roll All Over Vegas' featuring a soundbooth recording of Elvis' August 28, 1973 performance at the Las Vegas Hilton. The CD comes housed in three-panel Deluxe Digipack. 

Publicity stated: When Elvis played Vegas in August of 1973, one could think the man was already bored and gave a lot of "throwaway" concerts. Well, he didn't. At least not at the show the newly founded team of Panther Records has chosen for their first release.

August 28, 1973 is the date and we are talking about the Midnight Show of that day. This is only the second release of this show on CD, 34 years after its first release in 1992. Since then a much better source has been found (Soundboard Recording!) and therefore you can expect a significantly better sound, and finally speed-corrected!

This new CD brings you a sound quality you will be satisfied with. It is close to the ideal art of audience recording, which many fans prefer over dry and lifeless soundboard recordings.

Enjoy this show with its loose nature, as Elvis is trying out “My Boy” before he would ultimately record it in the studio in December of ´73. For whatever reason he was having a hard time pulling himself together for this version resulting in a hilarious segment including an impromptu version of the old gospel tune “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”, which he knew from his childhood days in Tupelo, where he sang it together with his parents and the entire community at every church service.

Tracks: Also Sprach Zarathustra - See See Rider - I Got A Woman / Amen - Love Me - Steamroller Blues - You Gave Me A Mountain - Trouble - Blue Suede Shoes - Long Tall Sally / Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On / Your Mama Don't Dance / Flip Flop & Fly / Jailhouse Rock /Hound Dog - Love Me Tender - Fever - Bridge Over Troubled Water - Suspicious Minds - Introductions - My Boy (#1) - What A Friend We Have In Jesus (Impromptu Version) - My Boy (#2) / Release Me - My Boy - I Can't Stop Loving You - An American Trilogy - Heartbreak Hotel - Mystery Train / Tiger Man - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - How Great Thou Art - Johnny B. Goode* - Can't Help Falling In Love** - Closing Vamp / Announcements**

Track 24 Spliced with August 26, 1973 Midnight Show, tracks 25-26 From The August 26, 1973 Midnight Show.

Sally A. Hoedel, has published her third book 'Destined to Give - The Legendary Generosity of Elvis Presley'.

Description: 'Destined to Give - The Legendary Generosity of Elvis Presley' examines the evolution of the King of Rock and Roll’s benevolent giving and the purpose he found by sharing much of his wealth with others. Hoedel explores the roots of that generosity, which was a learned behavior when he was on the receiving end during those early years of poverty in Tupelo. It was there that he witnessed a natural sense of giving rooted in survival.

Fame allowed Elvis Presley to be generous in ways he never could have imagined. However, trust became hard to come by for Elvis. His last personal sense of humanity was felt when helping nameless faces in need. They expected nothing from him and were grateful for the unexpected kindness. Gifting a complete stranger a new car certainly seems like a tale of great myth. Yet, in his final years, those were the moments of Elvis’ truest self-expression – the decent man behind the crown who only wanted to help people.

Elvis Presley had a strong moral compass, but it was difficult to follow at times while in the trenches of fame. The money blinded it. The fame distorted the reality of it. Expectations of those around him and expectations of the entire planet sometimes buried it. However, his values remained, most visibly in the continuous acts of generosity.
