[PJTHEDOORS]

I love listening to Elvis' home recordings. This one he should have recorded it officially.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Interesting. Ill give it a listen at work tomorrow.

And I think Vernon (Elvis' dad), right after finding out about his sons death, said something like..."they murdered my son!" And he had hired a private investigator to look into it. Rumors are someone inside the inner circle was mad being left out of Elvis' will and did a karatee chop to his head. Another rumor is Tom Parker owed millions from Las Vegas gambling debts. Elvis also at the time was doing something undercover with the FBI.

[PJTHEDOORS]

wish Elvis had covered riders on the storm and LA Woman.

Wish Jim had met Elvis and got him to believe in his own inner voice to write poetry and thus write songs.

msg...afternoon show...june of '72.
one of my favorites.
he reworks his '56 hit...slowing down the intro giving it a funky blues feel...then revs it up to the rock tempo.
he's telling a story thru this performance...his inspiration for his style of music was blues.
this performance takes us on his journey.
THE KING...DAMN RIGHT...'MERICA
