Live in L.A Book and Soundboard.

[memphis 77]

Soundboards were recorded by RCA directly from the mixing desk at a lot - but not all - of Elvis' shows. The equipment wasn't perfect and not every show was done in its entirety.

The FTD releases (concerts) are mostly soundboards.

The quality is usually very good to excellent, but most of them feel a bit too bassy to me. Anyone else feel that?

i sure feel the bass alot, another reason for this is most of the tapes that RCA/FTD have are dubs, most of the originals were taken by one guy and sold-hence FORT BAXTER, SGT BILKO[remember these labels, and the guy behind them?Another thing, remember the BAXTER PROFILE 1 set, the second cd vegas 73 cd[this is not a good soundboard], it sounds like an audience recorded tape, but the tape is marked soundboard and its on 3/4 tape reels. Most of these were in COLONELS possession , and sold over the years to various fans[it took years to form and gain parkers trust, not to mention the gifts one had to bestow upon him.

As far as I know they installed two microphones in the showroom to record the act. Who knows why, the colonel was a wired guy sometimes.

This concert from L.A. is very good and ELvis seems to be "On" that nite as well.

The bass and drums are kickin' thru uthis disc, despite it being a mono recording

Very lil goofing around and much more serious Elvis for this time period too.

Guess it had sumthin' to do with "ZEP" being in "da house" !
