Biography

Elvis Aaron Presley is one of the biggest-selling artists of all-time, but mere numbers cannot begin to explain the colossal cultural impact he had in the mid-20th Century. He was a central figure in the transformation of the grey, conservative 50s into the technicolor 60s through the liberalizing effect of rock and pop music. Frank Sinatra had proved extremely popular in the 40s with young ... Read more in Amazon's Elvis Presley Store

Amazon.co.uk Review

Elvis really didn't make any great albums in the 1970s; he made one or two good ones as well as some great singles and individual album tracks, which is why the 70s box set Walk a Mile in My Shoes is as good a buy as the 50s and 60s compilations. He also made a slew of live albums--so which ones to pick? Obviously, the 1968 NBC "comeback" was special, and various recordings exist; still, it's better viewed as a video. The 1972 Madison Square Garden recordings and 1973's Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite often seem zombie-like, and it's basically downhill from there. Thus, it's a toss-up between In Person at the International Hotel, his rockin' first Vegas appearance following his "comeback" TV special, and the Vegas appearance on this CD, recorded a year later--and offering more unique musical fruits. It's Elvis doing songs associated with others (Engelbert Humperdinck, Neil Diamond, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Beatles), though "The Wonder of You" became a hit single. The band is hot: just listen to James Burton's scorching guitar solo on the cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway". The background vocalists are sensational (they help make Elvis's cover of "Let It Be Me" the definitive version), and the whole thing sounds Phil Spector-esque. In fact, "The Wonder of You" sounds so angelic, it's hard to believe it's live. --Bill Holdship

5.0 out of 5 stars On Stage, In Charge and Out of This World. 13 May 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This excellent re-release features bonus unreleased tracks, that were not on the original LP.

Elvis live, as always, was dynamic to say the least, and this excellent sample of his Feb 1970 Vegas engagement shows the new songs flooding in, whilst rubbing shoulders with classics from Elvis, plus contemporary hits from The Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival and Neil Diamond.

The first song "See See Rider" became the opener for hundreds of his concerts, this blues classic is attacked hard and fast, before an excellent cover of Neil Diamonds "Sweet Caroline."

"Runaway" is the Del Shannon classic, updated here, and with some wild guitar licks from James Burton; Shannon, who is in the crowd and pointed out by Elvis, must have been loving it.

"The Wonder of You" is next and it hit #1 the year this album was released. It's an all-time classic, sing along......I know that you know the words.

With "Polk Salad Annie" business really picks up with this astounding piece of Southern funk. The spoken intro, wild bass and guitar licks add to the breathtaking performance by Elvis; which, if you have seen "That's The Way It Is", you will agree is unforgettable.

"Yesterday" performed in a medley with "Hey Jude" at the end, is very good. Elvis apparently really liked "Yesterday." I recently heard Paul McCartney say that he did'nt like Elvis' version too much.

Made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival and covered by Tina Turner, "Proud Mary" is a real classic song. And I hate to be biased, but Elvis version wipes the floor with all others. Drums and guitars here, Elvis rockin, and relishing the lyrics....

"Walk a Mile in my Shoes" is a Tony Joe White song, again with lyrics that Elvis really digs in to. This is excellent, and it seems fitting that "In the Ghetto" follows, need I say more about this masterpiece.

"Don't Cry Daddy" was another massive hit single, it is a little sentimental, and not for all tastes.

Hit after hit here, as "Kentucky Rain" emerges, a lesser performed song, great stuff though, with story-like verses.

"I Can't Stop Loving You" is a classic, whether it's Elvis great live versions or Ray Charles' definitive version, I love this song. Elvis really attacked this in 69/70, whilst later readings are slower and country-esque, this rocks.

"Suspicious Minds" need I say more!!!!!!!!!

"Long Tall Sally", and Elvis lets rip into this Little Richard classic; actually Elvis' version from 1956 was the best version of the song, and Little Richard never performed it as good as this live.

Finally, with "Let it Be Me" the tempo slows again, with a gospel type reading of this song, that is very very beautiful; a lesson in ballad singing.

This is a great live CD, and if you are a fan or not this is a worthy purchase. Elvis was so good live, yet hugely varied; you really must hear more than one concert as the diversity and change in styles and reportoire is something to behold. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis is alive 20 Mar 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is a collection of live recordings from Las Vegas in 1969 and early 1970 and a very fine collection it is indeed. For it's value, this is the best live recording of Elvis Presley available together with "In Person at the International Hotel". During the years of 69-70 Elvis was in incredible shape with the energy and the enthusiasm coming through those great performances. There really isn't a bad song on this album and this is one of the true highlights of Elvis's career in the 70's. Much more energetic and "live" than the later live albums from the 70's. This was the time when Elvis wasn't feeling the weight of the world too hard on his shoulders and felt rejuvenated and inspired to perform in front of the live audience after such a long pause (8years).

If you're a new to the music of Elvis Presley, this isn't a bad place to start. If you're an old fan, and don't have this record, get it now; of course unless you have the Elvis Vegas box set, where most of this material is also available.

5.0 out of 5 stars ELVIS KICKS ASS 1 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
This is Elvis Presley at his best.

The banter between the audience and Elvis is enough to make this CD buyable. But not only that Elvis performs with such ease while at the same time being so brillent.

The songs included show Elvis's wide vocal range. However, I didn't enjoy the HEY JUDE/YESTERDAY and that is one song I skip by.

Elvis begins with See See Rider which is one of the best songs on this CD along side Polk Salad Annie and finishes with I can't stop loving you- again, blowing me away.

If you own an Elvis collection or are starting out get this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars ELVIS ROCKS LIVE 29 Dec 2008
By Lisa M
Format:Audio CD
In my opinion nobody could sing live like Elvis. Throughout the 7O`s Elvis released many of his `live` songs as singles, the biggest hit being The Wonder of You, which was No 1 for 7 weeks in Britain. How many other artists would dare to release `live` songs, certainly not Britney Spears or Madonna. His voice is amazing on all of his live shows and this set is brilliant. I would recommend this album to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonder 24 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD
On Stage is a great album but imo not quite as strong as 'That's The Way It Is' or 'In Memphis'. The two Beatles covers seem a little half hearted to me and slow the momentum of the album. Those tracks apart this is yet another illustration of Elvis's talent, versatility and charisma. I particularly love the two rockier numbers, See See Rider and Polk Salad Annie (if you can watch trhe accompanying performances on youtube). The Wonder of You is one of the great love songs and his version of Sweet Caroline makes Neil Diamond sound like a pub singer.

Elvis Presley. Truely the King.

It's almost like Rock n' Roll colliding with prog rock in atight white jump suit. Elvis enters the building and leaps into kung-fu frenzy as only big E could. A highlight on the album is the short but sweet Polk salad Annie, a groovy tune about a girl who's momma worked on a chain gang and grew polk salad...need I say more. It's an excellent live gig with a fun band who may possibly be a bit messy but that's all part of the fun.
