What are you all listening to?

[Lonniebealestreet]

I can't seem to find the thread of the similar title, so I started a new one. If somebody can locate the old one, I'll delete this one. If it's staring me in the face, I apologize.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of a second run-through of Disc 4 of Today, Tomorrow, And Forever.

How about the great take 1 of Pieces Of My Life, or the duet with Armond Morales on A Thing Called Love, or the new (ad-libbed?) verse on I'll Be Home On Christmas Day, or the especially touching I Miss You? Man, what a great CD.

Generally speaking, I'm a Disc 4 kind of guy. (y)

[curtis simpkins]

hey bobby.

Right now i am playing my cdr of my favorite lp of "Pot Luck"
great album of Elvis in the 1960s. (y)

[NightRider]

I generally play a cd at least twice a day...and that doesn't include to and from work.
Nine and a half times out of ten its elvis....no suprise there then :P
I still can't stop playing the Memphis FTD :blink: Its just so cool (y) :clap:

At the moment i'm going through the 'There's always me' sets...........terrific just to put on and listen....and i love the artwork on these sets :hmm: maybe that could be my next design project ;)

[Sonny]

Listened to the Live In Memphis FTD while in the car yesterday and right now...I came out of the shower and tried my own a capella version of O sole mio :D

Nope, didn't record it... ;)

With so much drama going on around me in real life, I'm in a real Gospel mode, so anything gospel by Elvis makes it into the CD player, be it at home or in the car :smile:

[curtis simpkins]

Right now i am playing the new 'fly trouble" concert cd.
so far this isn't a bad concert of Elvis in 1975.
infact this is kinda funny really. (y)

[Albert]

While making dinner, I listened the 4th disc of the "Live In Las Vegas" boxset (BMG). I really enjoyed it. The live version of "My Boy" is simply stunning. Also other live versions or rare songs like "It's Midnight" and "I'm Leaving" not only enjoy me because they are so rare, but even more because they simply are beautiful :D

[E.L.V.I.S]

im currently enjoying the memphis 1969 anthology 'suspicious minds'.Great cd when elvis was sounding superb as always.Another good thing its two cd so i can enjoy it longer :P :lol: (y)

[Elvisgirl]

Mystery Train

[mn-designs]

I have more than just 1 cd that i listen to..
My fav. are:
* Rhythm and country (this cd is my all time fav.)
* An afternoon in the garden (prob. the best Live elvis cd out there)
* Elvis: 30 #1 hits and 2nd to none ( due the fact that these cd have the best sound quality ever)
* Live in Las Vegas Boxset ( a stunning overview of Elvis in Vegas)
* Both baxter boxsets (a profile on stage) (I believe that RCA can learn from this release, better they should release something in the same style)

[Elvos]

I love and play the cd from flashback.....for now:D

[boogie]

for now two days i play constantly concerts from Vegas 1974, great setlists (y)

[Elvos]

And now I'm having a "Nashville Marathon"..This is one of the all time greatest I>M>O:!:

Hi Geoff...welcome aboard (y)

Been driving a fair bit this week...so took a nice variation to listen to...some Elvis...and more Elvis.... :blink:
Disc Two from the Live in Las Vegas boxset....awesome show...that version of Just Pretend is incredible.
Also played the Command Performances.....great to here some of the movie songs.....Change Of Habit...Edge Of Reality....under-rated in my opinion (y)

[Lonniebealestreet]

They are indeed.

Welcome, Geoff!

[boogie]

"dinner at eight" and "just pretend" 1975

[Lonniebealestreet]

I just got back from Memphis (y) , and probably the CD I spent the most time listening to in the car was Rhythm And Country.

From Elvis In Memphis also got some play, as did The Lost Album (For The Asking).

I bought Polk Salad Annie at Graceland, and I'm sorry to say I wasn't as thrilled with that as I thought I would be. At any rate, it makes a nice companion to the On Stage upgrade. Now I'm not complaining; I'm just saying I wasn't as taken with it as most others seem to be. No biggie.

[Paulie1971]

You were a busy boy yesterday Elvos ;)

Right now I am listening to FTD Viva las Vegas ... You're the boss is great!

[Elvos]

I had to invest some time for it , but it made me a TCB friend allong the way...:D

[Paulie1971]

Congrats! (another step closer to the Die-Hard phase ;) )

[Cherokee]

Right now I'm listening to my rumbling tummy. :oops:

[buttonhead]

Right now i am listening to Elvis-The Memphis Record 'Who Am I'

[TCE]

I'm listening to several songs, because I'm trying to get the downloaded albums in order. So I hear many albums. My favouriet albums, though are the gospelalbums and the studio rehearsals and ofcourse the live albums. If I'm not able to listen to Elvis I try to sing them myself, although I must admit that I often only can sing most song when I hear Elvis. I keep forgetting the lyrics. Must be the age. Lol.

Be safe and take care,

Tonight....finishing off my latest covers.....Moody Blue..re-mastered version (y)

[spinout-designs]

Most recently it's been the FTD label all the way, the other night it was 'Long Lonely Highway' and 'Polk Salad Annie' and tonight it's been the 'Paradise Hawaiian Style' FTD reissue.

(y)

(edit) oh ! and a Sun Sessions 2 CD compilation I made recently (all the masters plus demos and all available outtakes - I am beginning to really get into the 50's material (y)

[spinout-designs]

Its Platinum disc three for me at the moment...what a version of 'The sound Of your cry' :clap: :clap: Awesome (y)

Deffinately agreed on that one Chris, that was the version I chose to include on my recent Ballads compilation, Platinum has some very satisfying alternate performances from the 70's for sure.

[Elvisgirl]

Right now i am listening to C.C Rider from 'Just Pretend With Elvis ' Las Vegas 12/13/1975. He seems in a very good mood . If i dont know the year, i would have thought that this is from his 1972s concert,... :)

Great CD....great show..i compliment you on your selection (y)

[buttonhead]

thanks NR, it is a great shows :) probably one of the best elvis shows on CD, despite the year 1975...2 years before he's gone. :'(

[NightRider]

thanks NR, it is a great shows :) probably one of the best elvis shows on CD, despite the year 1975...2 years before he's gone. :'(

some of Elvis' best shows came out of 74-75. My favourite live year is 1970..but 1974 comes oh so close. (y)

Elvis was great throughout the years live...and yes that includes 76 and 77.....ok the performances did tend to be more up and down in the last two years....but there are still fantastic shows to be found.

1974 was an exceptional year..all but towards the end of the year :'( thats when you could see what could, and eventually did happen to the greatest entertainer the world would ever see.

1975 seemed more consistant...if less outstanding...but the 'Just Pretend' show remains one of the best ( well, one of my favourites anyhow (y) )

[Elena/The Russian EP Fan Club]

Yesterday was Elvis Day in my house ;) :D (y) Alot of Elvis' music !
Pot Luck, The Nashville Marathon, Today, With a Song in my Heart, The Man in White vol 2, The Hampton concert, Adios the final performance, R-rated Elvis, Command Performance, Lost Treasures, Elvis’ 66 back in Nashville, So High............ :D

[jeanno]

"Just pretend, i?m holdin? youuu..."
I love that one!

[jbgude]

I found two great CDs at a Flea market (garage sale) "SUN Rockabillies Vol 1 & 2" ....man some great music ! Some of the music never got out because ole Sam Phillips allegedly was a "mean Mr Mistreater !"

Also played a lot of Blues - and a sprinkling of Elvis: Platinum Disc 4 and my compilations !

[Lonniebealestreet]

Today it's been the Jungle Room Sessions FTD for me. That CD was such a revelation when it came out, but it's no less of a treat to me today. The clarity is so striking, and it seems to me that other recent releases with Jungle Room material don't have the same warmth and ambience heard on that disc. :hmm: Elvis's vocals sound even better, and nearly equally as pleasing is the sound of the core band. It's not just the fact that you can hear them--that they are not drowned out by the horns and strings, but what they were actually playing was just so darn good. Really some beautiful work had been covered up for so long. (I know these are different takes, but you get my point.) You really notice it on some of the opening notes. These takes just really give them a whole new life; they are more effective, and seem to hit home a little better. Listen to the beginnings of songs like Love Coming Down, The Last Farewell, It's Easy For You, Never Again--whew! I mean the songs are great all the way through, but I guess you notice the difference so much more in the beginnings because Elvis is not singing yet and because they made for awesome, new, first impressions.

[Lonniebealestreet]

Glad to hear it, Ron. Everyone else should do the same. (y)

[clowdy]

For me today is "From the vaults, vol 1"
I can't decide if I like it or not :( , but my neighbors decided: They hate it! :angry: :lol:

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

"Finding the way home" when you take away the bullshit and get to the voice, no-one but no-one could sing better :worthy:

[stilllovinelvis]

I buy cd's, but only have a cassette player in car. So I copy cd's onto cassettes. Mainly only have time to listen to music to and from work, about 20 min. each way. At night I sometimes watch Elvis dvd's. But I made a tape of Elvis in Concert (June 77) and also added a few extra songs I like:
Always On My Mind
Separate Ways
Fool
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Just Can't Help Believin'
and a few other tearjerkers
I just love this cassette!
I will be getting some new cd's very soon and am very excited about this. I hear everyone talking about The Jungle Room Sessions and can't wait to get mine to hear it! And also Just Pretend! And some others that I have never heard before either.

[curtis simpkins]

now i am playing a nother cdr of mine and this one is called.

let's be friend's the camden album.

this wasn't a bad album at the time.

[NightRider]
