In 1974 Elvis embarked on a spectacular run of over 150 sold-out concerts across the US and emerged victorious, delivering upon the promise of his previous year's artistic achievements that included the spectacular Aloha from Hawaii: Via Satellite and Memphis Stax recordings.
On March 20, 1974 Elvis' historic performance in his hometown of Memphis was recorded and it captured Elvis full of spontaneity playing to an ecstatic crowd.
This 2-CD Legacy Edition celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis with an expanded version featuring a newly remixed and re-mastered audio of the concert including tracks omitted from the original vinyl LP. In addition, CD 2 contains a recently located test-run recording held two days earlier in Richmond, Virginia, plus 5 intimate rehearsal performances cut at the RCA Studios in Hollywood on August 16, 1974. A 28-page booklet offers rare photos of Elvis on tour in ' 74 and an insightful essay that provides testimony to Elvis' innate power as the world's greatest stage performer.
