SR label is proud to delivery an incredible update of his first release, one of the best show from the August 1971 season. This will be perfect gift for the next Christmas.
August 11, 1971 DS is the fifth show of the second annual Elvis Summer Festival. From The August 1971 season there is not any soundboarding recording available, the dinner show of August 11 is the closest thing, second our personal view, even better, because together a superb audio quality, we have the best and varied Elvis’ performance of the season. This season shows very well that Elvis has widen his musical range in many ways, giving view of a larger spectrum to his musical performance. Talking about show, what we can say! surely Elvis delivery an Explosive mix between high energetic songs as Proud Mary, Johnny B. Goode, Polk Salad Annie or the oldies Hound Dog and Lawdy Miss Clawdy together power pop ballad like You Don’t have to Say You Love Me and It’s impossible. Talking about best song is always very hard, however in this case Elvis gives us a hand..after a rare an impromptu version of Memphis Tennessee no too rehearsed, but complete a voice come from the audience “You are good Elvis, but your band plays too loud”. Elvis replied immediately by saying “Come on man your ears are too old”. After that Elvis gives life to the first complete and probably best version of “Tryin’ To Get To You”. Elvis’ voice reaches a level of unexpended energy, in the same time that band really kicked on the tune, an unbelievable performance for this great show.The August 16,1971 ms, is taken directly from a first generation tape. This is a previously unreleased recording.The sound was restored in matter to remove the background noise and preserving Elvis’ voice, trying to achieve best possible results. The band, sounds incredibly clear and tight ,giving to the show a pure rock feeling .This companion cd gives us the possibility to listen the evolution of the Elvis’ show at the begin of the engagement second week. The combination of a solid audio and solid show is going to match with the August 11, ds show. Although respect August 11, the show is shorter (about 50 min.) we have the inclusion of two songs rarely performed in the season: the new Help Me Through The Night and the classic Mystery Train. Without doubt a interesting show that reflect well the standard of the season.
