Deltamusic Handpicked presents - ELVIS at STAX – the Outtakes

Tonight by request I am featuring ELVIS  Outtakes from the STAX Studios recording

."The dissipation of the Stax recordings across three albums over 18 months provided little or no creative kudos for such deserving artistic accomplishment," wrote "Elvis at Stax" producer Roger Semon in notes accompanying the release. "The objective of `Elvis at Stax' is to reflect the true spontaneity and musicianship of Elvis' sessions."

Hear some sounds rarely heard out of the studio. The first set starts at 9:30 PM CDT

“Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis” – Tonight on Deltamusic

Deltamusic presents “Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis”

 

 "Legacy Edition of Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis" presents, for the first time, a recently located recording of Elvis' complete concert "test-run" held for an ecstatic live audience on March 18, 1974, two days before his historic concert return to Memphis, where he'd last played live in 1957. The remarkable "test-run" performance was recorded in MONO, drenched in the reverb Elvis preferred, and provides new insight into the magic of Elvis.

The musicians backing Elvis on "Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis" include James Burton and John Wilkinson (guitars); Charlie Hodge (guitar and vocals); Duke Bardwell (bass); Ronnie Tutt (drums); Glen D. Hardin (piano); The Sweet Inspirations, J.D. Sumner & The Stamps, Kathy Westmoreland (vocals) with Joe Guercio and his orchestra.
