| J-Card Comment | Elvis Presley International Hotel, Las Vegas 8/xx/69 Liberated Bootleg: "Opening Night 69" Blue Suede Shoes I Got A Woman All Shook Up Love Me Tender Jail-house Rock/Don't Be Cruel Heartbreak Hotel Hound Dog Memories Mystery Train/Tiger man Life Story (dialogue) Baby What You Want Me To Do Are You Lonesome Tonight Yesterday Hey Jude Band introductions In The Ghetto Suspicious Minds What'd I Say Can't Help Falling In Love #Review borrowed from Ralf Hege, Germany (September 8, 2000) #Everybody who knows Elvis' album "Elvis In Person At The International Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada" from 1969, knows how powerful and dynamic his performances were at that time. A very good example is this bootleg-album. Here we hear Elvis and his band in an unbelievably great concert. Elvis' voice sounds so rich and beautiful; it's just a pure pleasure to listen to him. Apart from the great concert one remarkable thing about this CD is also the excellent sound quality. The mix is a little different than usual: The drums are more in the background and you hear more of the background-vocal-groups. *Borrowed from-http://www.members.tripod.com/~Crazy_Canuck/1969-1.html\ *RCA recorded eleven complete shows from August 21st midnight show through August 26th, soundboard recordings were also done during the whole month, but it's hard to know if any had survived or where they might be located; some were released, including one entitled " Opening Night '69 ", however this is not the real Opening show of July 31st and certainly not the one from August 1st either, indeed Elvis mentioned early in that show " Man, it's hard to get going at these dinner shows ", well I seriously doubt that he would had made such a comment on his opening night gig, consequently this release might contain a show performed early in the season and possibly during the first week. |
