Elvis Presley – Elvis in Concert
Released by RCA in 1977, Elvis in Concert documents some of Elvis Presley’s final live performances. The recordings were made during concerts in Omaha, Nebraska, and Rapid City, South Dakota, on 19 and 21 June 1977 for the CBS television special of the same name. The double album was issued shortly after Elvis’ death and remains a historically significant, emotionally charged closing chapter in his recording career. (Elvis Presley Official Site)
Across the two LPs, Elvis performs an extensive selection spanning his career. The programme combines rock-and-roll favourites, gospel-influenced performances and dramatic ballads, including “See See Rider,” “That’s All Right,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight?,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Hound Dog,” “My Way” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Spoken introductions, audience reactions and additional material from the television production give the album the character of a complete concert document rather than a conventional greatest-hits collection.
Although these recordings capture Elvis during the physically difficult final months of his life, his distinctive voice and connection with the audience remain unmistakable. Particularly on the slower material, the performances carry a vulnerability and emotional weight that make Elvis in Concert an important release for collectors interested in the full story of his career.
Presented as a two-LP gatefold album, this RCA edition carries catalogue number APL2-2587. (Discogs)
