Elvis Presley Live 69

Elvis Presley hoort op de korte lijst van artiesten die de populaire muziek in de twintigste eeuw hebben vormgegegeven. Hoewel hij de rock & roll niet heeft uitgevonden was hij wel de eerste superster van het genre en bracht hij deze muzieksoort naar een groot publiek. Met zijn knappe uiterlijk, uitdagende dansbewegingen, charisma en uit duizenden herkenbare stemgeluid groeide hij uit tot een wereldwijde ster. In de jaren vijftig en zestig reeg hij de hits aaneen. Hij zal de rock & roll nooit helemaal vaarwel zeggen maar vanaf de jaren zeventig liet hij zich wel in toenemende mate inspireren door blues, country en soul. In dezelfde periode ging hij ook in Las Vegas optreden met extravagante shows. In 1977 overleed The King op 42-jarige leeftijd. Veel te jong, maar hij heeft wel een oeuvre nagelaten dat de popmuziek voor altijd heeft veranderd en artiesten tot op de dag van vandaag weet te inspireren.

This 4CD set contains a varied selection of live performances drawn from Elvis’ engagement at the Las Vegas International Hotel during the early part of 1971. The accompanying 40-page booklet includes rare photographs, memorabilia and liner notes to set the scene.

Elvis Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including rock 'n' roll, pop and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music with estimated record sales of more than a billion units worldwide. He won three Grammys, also receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into a.o. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, Rockabilly Hall of Fame and Gospel Hall of Fame.

When Elvis Presley played Las Vegas between 1969 and '76, many rock & rollers screamed sellout. Today, every rock act plays Vegas. When Elvis came to town, it was the event. RCA--still uncovering unreleased stuff decades after the King's death--celebrates his Vegas legacy with two complete, previously unreleased shows from '69 and '70; a CD of previously released material from '70 (much of it taken from the classic Elvis Onstage, February 1970 album); and a fourth CD of mostly rarities from '74 and '75. The latter also includes a show from his disastrous '56 Vegas debut. Elvis began moving in a more mainstream direction in Vegas, and some may complain that the two unreleased shows are very similar to several other released shows from the same period. But, at least early on, the boy could still rock when he wanted and break hearts with a ballad. And the "new" 1970 show includes what may be the best live version of "Suspicious Minds" available. Besides, planeloads of fans from Japan and Europe flew to Nevada just to see as many of these shows as they could in a week--two a night for $15,which included dinner or two drinks! Redundancy was never an issue!!!

Our selection of 100 hits is drawn from both the American and British charts, though many of them were top sellers in both countries.
