FTD have advised that "The On Stage Season: The Opening And Closing Shows, February 1970" will be released next week. This is a new 2 CD release in the 7" Classic Album Presentation.
The set features two shows from January 26, 1970 and February 23, 1970 and comes with a 16-page 4-color booklet, featuring great photographs from the season and a insightful essay by Ann Moses Marino.
These historic soundboard recordings were made by Elvis' sound engineer Bill Porter at the request of Tom Diskin. Disc 1 recorded at the opening night show January 26, 1970 at the International Hotel, Las Vegas. Disc 2 recorded at the closing night show on February 23, 1970 at the International Hotel, Las Vegas. 'The On Stage Season refers to the fact that Elvis' classic live album, On Stage, Feb 1970 was recorded during this engagement.
While both shows are of great interest, the second disc is highlighted by a mid concert performance of See See Rider and performances of One Night and It's Now Or Never. Both shows have standouts in Don't Cry Daddy, Kentucky Rain, Let It Be Me. Disc 1 also features True Love Travels On A Gravel Road.
