Complete rehearsal for upcoming shows in Las Vegas
Sound quality: EXC Stereo SBD
Unlike the July 16 or 29th rehearsals held on MGM's sound stage in
Culver City, this was obviously a much more serious undertaking by
Presley and his core band. The RCA studio is the same one the 1960
"G.I. Blues" soundtrack was recorded at, and would later yield "Burning
Love" in '72 and the entire 'Elvis Today' album in 1975. Long-time
engineer Al Pachucki handled this session, which might explain why the
stereo mix is superb.
The songs here are performed as if they are doing "the set"; it's easy
to imagine that, whereas the other daytime rehearsals were for the
documentary cameras, this evening at RCA (without anyone filming it)
was for Elvis to take home and listen to. His singing, for the most
part, is much more focused; this is Presley the artist, deciding what
will and won't work in concert.
