“ELVIS AS RECORDED AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN” (3-CD) Having just concluded an immensely successful sell-out tour in April, that was filmed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for the 1972 documentary Elvis On Tour, confidence in Elvis’ camp was high as all four shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden were sold out along with the rest of the June tour. Any reticence that Elvis may still have had about performing in the Big Apple were soon allayed as the noise from the MSG audiences was deafening. Summing up the triumph, The New York Times ‘Arts and Leisure’ headline read “Like A Prince From Another Planet”. Elvis As Recorded at Madison Square Garden featuring the evening show on June 10 was rush-released later in the month, and sold a million copies in the U.S. in a matter of weeks. Total U.S. sales to date are now in excess of 3 million thereby achieving triple-platinum status. The afternoon show was eventually issued by RCA in 1997, 20-years after Elvis’ passing, as An Afternoon In The Garden. This belated 50th Anniversary FTD edition celebrates these legendary shows with newly mixed versions of both shows by Memphian recording engineer Matt-Ross Spang. Disc 3 features the original press conference recorded at the New York Hilton, June 9. Packaged in our ‘sessions’ style 8” x 8” slipcase, this deluxe 3-CD contains a 20-page color booklet, great photos, memorabilia, press conference transcript and recollections by the late Phil Gelormin 04 Never Been To Spain 05 You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me 06 You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ 07 Polk Salad Annie 08 Love Me 09 All Shook Up 10 Heartbreak Hotel 11 (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear/ Don’t Be Cruel 12 Love Me Tender 13 The Impossible Dream (The Quest) 14 Introductions 15 Hound Dog 16 Suspicious Minds 17 For The Good Times 18 An American Trilogy 19 Funny How Time Slips Away 20 I Can’t Stop Loving You 21 Can’t Help Falling In Love 22 Closing Vamp Disc 2 AFTERNOON SHOW 01 Also Sprach Zarathustra 02 That’s All Right 03 Proud Mary 04 Never Been To Spain 05 You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me 06 Until It’s Time For You To Go 07 You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ 08 Polk Salad Annie 09 Love Me 10 All Shook Up 11 Heartbreak Hotel 12 (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear/ Don’t Be Cruel 13 Love Me Tender 14 Blue Suede Shoes 15 Reconsider Baby 16 Hound Dog 17 I’ll Remember You 18 Suspicious Minds 19 Introductions 20 For The Good Times 21 An American Trilogy 22 Funny How Time Slips Away 23 I Can’t Stop Loving You 24 Can’t Help Falling In Love 25 Closing Vamp Recorded live June 10, 1972 at Madison Square Garden, New York Disc 3 June 9 Press Conference (20:31) Recorded by Pål Granlund
