Thanks everyone! loved hearing your ideas! I'm going to listen now to your opinions on cd!
Personally I think #3 If You Love Me has the strongest release on "Dixieland Rocks" :cool: (y) :clap:
I was suprised no one else thought so, oh well.
Catcha ya later
That was a strong contender for me, EAP.
In fact, a whole lot of the selections here were considerations of mine.
Ron, I am all about From Sunset Blvd to Paradise Road. :notworthy I only didn't name it because I haven't played that in a while and I couldn't remember which version on there was the best. Fabian, every one of your picks if I didn't pick myself, I was considering.
A lot of similar tastes around here, I'd say!
polk salad annie -elvis on tour hampton roads 1972 as featured in the movie this version just smokes. my boy - studio version and closing night ftd cd. if you love me -its midnight ftd. american trilogy -hampton roads and closing night. hurt -tucson 76 ftd. unchained melody -the great performances. how great thou- art closing night ftd

#2 - This one is a toss up for me between the version on the FTD CD BIG BOSS MAN and the studio version...I'll have to give this one more thought... :hmm:
#3 - The version from the MOODY BLUE album!
#4 - The version from THIS IS ELVIS!! (Hampton Roads '72)
#5 - The version from the 1977 ELVIS IN CONCERT album!!
#6 - I've also got to go with the version from the GREAT PERFORMANCES video/CD. ;)
#7 - I LOVE the version from the 1977 ELVIS IN CONCERT album!!
Thanks again for a GREAT question!! (y)
TCB!

#1 Polk Salad Annie-elvis at full blast -the full speed version with both a very long bass solo and then a great wah wah guitar solo,and the long (la woman like)intro
#2 My Boy-dixieland rocks-? think theirs are great atmosphere in this rec,and elvis voice is just sounding so full and rich
#3 If You Love Me-silver box(my first alternate version of this song back in the 80?s and now 56372826 trillion versions later ,I still like this one very much,all throug elvis plays around some
#4 American Trilogy-alternate aloha :king:
#5 Hurt-softly as I leave you /for a better sounding rec-running for president ,a great slow version
#6 Unchained Melody-may 29 ?77. baltimore-this is the blues:'( /for a better sounding rec -rapid city
#7 How Great Thou Art?-just pretend:notworthy
