the august 11,1972 midnight show...and the august 12,1972 midnight show are 2 of Elvis' greatest vegas performances.
heard here on the ftd cd set what now my love. the collector label really hit this one out of the park
Elvis' voice was in great form. his set list had been tweeked. and his band never sounded better or more insync.
he was intensely personal and real with ballads like what now my love,its over,its impossible and you gave me a mountain.
big numbers like an american trilogy,my way and impossible dream were a realization of the kinda sound he was searching for.
'72 and '73 were 2 GREAT seasons for Elvis both on tour and in vegas. '72 arguably...artisticly...his best.
dynamic singles like burning love,seperate ways and always on my mind easily went gold. burning love hitting #2 on billboard. seperate ways #20.
his historic sell outs of madison square garden produced his best live album. easily going gold and finishing high on the charts.
