(IMG:http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/imleaving/Fireinvegasback1.jpg) Fire In Vegas Genre: live recording Format: Audience Sound: decent Tracks: 24 Playing Time: Recorded live: Las Vegas, Ne, August 6th 1973 ~ Opening Night ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 Also Sprach Zarathustra 02 See See Rider 03 Trouble / Raised On Rock (1st/last live version Raised On Rock) 04 Love Me 05 Steamroller Blues 06 What Now My Love 07 Blue Suede Shoes 08 Memphis Tennessee 09 Rock Medley 10 Love Me Tender 11 Hound Dog 12 My Boy (1st live version) 13 Suspicious Minds 14 Introducing Petula Clark / Introductions 15 I Can't Stop Loving You 16 An American Trilogy 17 Bridge Over troubled Water 18 How Great thou Art 19 A Big Hunk O' Love 20 Help Me Make It Through The Night 21 Can't Help Falling In Love 22 Closing Vamp Bonus Songs 23 The Elvis Medley (1982) 24 I've Lost You (studio version, unreleased in 1993) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: Elvis Opening Night show from his August/September '73 season. A decent show with a good tracklisting. Too bad he dropped Raised On Rock as soon as the 2nd show, it sounds actually quite good. Also Memphis Tennessee is a surprise, and a pleasant one at that, to hear. This post has been edited by stefan: Aug 9 2006, 05:43 PM -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this?

Fantasic show,rare versions,this opening night rocks.
Note,the 2001 theme(cut on this cd) had a "disco" style version as opening theme. Weird to hear,but not so over the top as Albert Goldmann put it in his "ELVIS" book. Next day the theme was back to normal. The complete show with the "disco"theme included,was put on a CDR named "I was raised on rock" in slight lesser sound then this one,but more complete. --------------------    |

that's the reason to collect audience recordings; there are collectors who want everything but for me there are standards to keep an AR in the collection or not.
when the sound is too poor it goes out. colonel snow -------------------- |

A terrific opening night show! The inclusion of "Trouble" is always a treat, and "Memphis Tennessee" is a really nice song! The rare "Raised on Rock" is a nice surprise. While not one of Elvis' more notable songs, it would have been nice to have Raised... sing in a few other concerts.

after 1993 a better tape with this concert turned up; I have no idea if this better source is used for the 2004 release "Caught in a trap";

This better source may have been used for the bonus disc that came with the 1st 100 copies of The Sound Of Vegas, volume 1.

Your so right Stefan, i wanted all i could get back then (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And this release was on hell of a concert for me back then, i just loved that opening "disco 2001" super cool (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) I think i still have that cd, but bet the sound will be a big turn off, if i play it today (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/LSHIC.gif) (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/LSHIC.gif) --------------------   |

however a great release. colonel snow -------------------- |
