Comment
June 24-25, 1968
"The Complete Dressing Room Session" Memphis Sound MS-001 (2000 boot release)
"This music is full of humor, delight and blood -- with Elvis' buddies shouting for another chorus or Elvis forcing one. Compared to this -- very likely the greatest rock'n'roll ever recorded -- the Million Dollar Quartet is nothing." American music critic/historian Greil Marcus is specifically referring to the magnificent "sit down" segments taped by Presley for inclusion in his first-ever TV special. Elvis is alive and kicking in the summer of 1968 as he rehearses for and tapes his music for a Christmas broadcast. For many, the most glorious portions are the informal "sit down" jams. Derived from visionary director Steve Binder's idea to capture the informal rock and roll happening in Elvis' dressing room with original bandmates Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, two on June 24 and 25 are captured on tape with Elvis' own single mic cassette recorder. 'The Complete Dressing Room Session' is the first time both have appeared on a single disc.
Musicians:
Guitar:Elvis Presley
Guitar:Scotty Moore
Guitar:Charlie Hodge
Percussion:D.J. Fontana
Percussion:Alan Fortas
Tambourine:Lance Legault
