ELVIS ROCKS THE HILTON

Tra il 2007 e il 2016 la Straight Arrow ha pubblicato 20 concerti in sound booth a partire da “Kicking and Rolling” nel 2007, “Faded Love” e “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” nel 2010. Dal 2013 al 2016, l’etichetta ha pubblicato una miniserie di 9 volumi chiamata “From the booth tapes”. 

Ora, la Straight Arrow ha annunciato l’uscita del volume 10 con 3 cd che comprende il Midnight Show del 20 agosto 1973, pubblicato per la prima volta dalla leggendaria etichetta “Fort Baxter” nel cofanetto “A Profile – The King On Stage Vol. 1” nel 1995, da allora è stato ripubblicato più volte ma mai dalla fonte originale e totalmente completo – fino ad ora! Il secondo cd contiene il dinner show del 31 agosto e il dinner show del 2 settembre 1973. Gli spettacoli di mezzanotte furono pubblicati dalla sottoetichetta chiamata “Vegas Strip”, nel 2008 con i titoli “Getting Down The Business” e “High Spirit In Vegas”. 

Come al solito, questa versione è presentata in un triplo digipack deluxe con una raccolta di immagini scattate dentro e fuori dal palco durante la stagione estiva di Las Vegas del 1973.
