Arrived in my mailbox today

[Unchained Melody]

Today in my mailbox I got the new straigh arrow release royal gambit in richfield. the cd came with a huge fat booklet fulled with colored photos and a short review of the concert. im getting ready to go give it a listen right now and see how it sounds im super excited !! (y)(y)

This is my very first original import and im so happy to have it in my collection(y)(y)hats off to straight arrow those guys done a wonderful job !!:notworthy

[Unchained Melody]

One more thing, it's not just for audience recorded CD collectors either;):lol:
Great Elvis show from October 1976. it's a 10/10 quality release
You don't want to miss it:notworthy:notworthy

[Albert]

to what audience recording can we compare the sound of this cd?

[Lisarose]

You've got my attention, now. A link, please?

[Unchained Melody]

Maybe Adios 6-26-77 not to sure albert but its ALOT better than that so i'd so its probably one of the best if not THE BEST audience recordings i've heard and the packaging is amazing!! Brillant job all the way around the show the CD covers everything!

[Jungleroom76]

Hey Jon - would you say the sound is better on RICHFIELD than on the NEW YEARS EVE '76 show? As far as audience recordings go, I think most fans feel (correct me if I am wrong gang) that the PITTSBURGH '76 show is the best sounding audience recording that has been released? :hmm:

TCB!

[Unchained Melody]

I would say it is Mike but thats just my personal opinion.

The mix is just right, Elvis' voice stands out perfectly, but you can still hear the audience when they applaud etc so it makes for the PERFECT concert listening experience!!(y)(y)

U know,personally i hate sound board recordings,it sounds so lousy quality,i'm a quality freak,were in 2008 now,i demand stereo sound

But more than likely a soundboard tape of this show and many others will never show up and those who pass up on these excellent audience recordings are missing out on the Elvis concert experience and many great shows aswell!! (y)

yeh your right

isnt it sad that they didnt record many of his live performances proffesionally..didn't they realise it could have become a goldmine making many albums out of it?

Now we gotta settle with lousy sound board stuff..hey it's better then nothing,i just wish RCA would have just recorded many of his shows,i would have bought every album,and i am sure most of his fans would have,cos his live performances are usually something really special

[Unchained Melody]

Lord yes it would have been great had they recorded all his shows on soundboard..imagine having Audios on soundboard (I still think they do FTD) !!!

Or Opening Night July 31st 1969 (y)(y)

But overall I think we are in good hands with Ernst at the will promising to release one show from every tour, vegas, and tahoe stand :notworthy

COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF JON!!! (y)

I have LOTS of audience recorded shows that are certainly not up to listenable standards at times....but if you focus in and listen closely, sometimes you can hear that rare gem or rarely performed concert song....and those make it worth the effort to listen to subpar recordings, in my opinion. :hmm:

Well if anybody is worth listening too in those kind of recordings it is ELvis,and it makes him even more a great singer,not many would sound good in those kind of recordings..but Elvis sure did..he is an amazing artist
