4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, August 12, 2011

This review is from: Elvis in Person (Audio CD)

The quality of the audio is fantastic, the music is absolutely perfect. However...all the dialogue and interaction Elvis had with his audience during this concert has been removed and I can only wonder why. That was the specific reason on why I bought the album and I felt terribly disappointed when I discovered the best part of the show was missing.

Other than that, this is a fabulous live performance by Elvis.

CD-1 CD-2
A 2-CD edition of Elvis In Person, in the classic album series. It comes in a 7" deluxe package like others in this series and in the soundtrack series. Released in December 2008.

It contains the original release (CD-1). In addition the '69-numbers from On Stage are featured as are the rare songs, first found on Collectors Gold. The sound quality is very good on the original tracks. As for the bonus cuts, one should notice that all songs first featured on Collectors Gold have been heavily remixed. While Elvis was UPFRONT on the early 90's release, he is quite back in the mix on this release. A retro mix, sort of. I like it.

CD-2 features the dinner show from August 22 1969. This show is mainly unreleased up till now! The mix and sonic quality is very good. It is quite different from the mix found on Viva Las Vegas (2007). While the sonic quality on Viva altogether is superior, I like the mix found on this CD better. Now you can hear almost everything that happens on stage, most noticeable on 'Suspicious Minds'. The backup singers and the strings sections are audible, which in my point of view is necessary to get the "good" 'Suspicious Minds' feeling. On Viva Las Vegas you could hardly hear any backup singer or strings section. There is, however, a slight problem with Elvis' microphone in places. It sounds a bit fragile, but fortunately not too much. The same problem was evident also on the mentioned Viva-release covering two shows from the day before (Aug. 21).

The show quality is also very good. Elvis is mainly focused, far from what took place on August 26 Midnight show (as found on All Shook Up). All in all it is a helluva concert..:-)

This could easily be my "default" 1969 show to stick to!

Thumbs up and highly recommended!

Elvis In 1969-1970 Did the best shows ever on Las Vegas The best songs, like In the getto, suspicius mind, a personal favorite words and many others classics I think about 70 songs were rehearsals and performed on stage, Nobody before or after has a Group like Elvis, The Best singer, The Best Back up vocals (The Imperials and The Sweet Inspirations), The man on the Drums, Lead Guitar Piano, The TCB Band, Every material from this years plus some from 1972 are the best Elvis did The elvis in person Album was one of the best
