Torrent description

Elvis At The International was recorded by RCA in Stereo during Elvis Presley's
triumphant 1969 engagement (August 23, 1969 - Midnight Show) at the International
Hotel in Las Vegas.

In August 1969 Elvis Presley was bursting with a new enthusiasm and energy. In
The Ghetto had just charted #3 in the US and Elvis needed to prove to his first
Las Vegas audience that the King could reclaim his crown. RCA have already
released a few CDs from this season and since Elvis rarely changed his set list
during this period, do we really need another August show? The answer is an
absolute, resounding, YES.

This is a brilliant CD, containing not only the best live version of Suspicious
Minds released so far but showcases Elvis Presley in fabulous voice and great
humour. This is the 20th FTD release and one of their very best, If you had to
choose one Elvis show that you could have witnessed then this, Aug 23rd Midnight
show, would have to be near the top of your list. After hearing this I wont be
playing In Person again!

Elvis was always on better form for the Las Vegas midnight shows (who could really
enjoy performing while people ate dinner?) and there was also no deadline that he
had to work to. It is obvious why RCA chose the 24th Dinner show recording for the
Live In Las Vegas box-set 69 CD as that performance was smoother and more
professional but that also made it more routine and, along with the
disappointing audio mix, it also contained a lot of tape hiss. But here everything
shines and even the audience response is at just the right level so you can really
feel the vibe and excitement of being there.

In the same way that TTWII captured Elvis at his professional live peak this CD
perfectly captures so much more The CD cover and inside photos are also one of
FTDs best designs so far. What more could we ask for to start the New Year? A big
thanks to mixer Dennis Ferrante for his best work so far. A big thanks to Ernst,
Roger & the FTD team for one of their very best.
