Nevada Nights - opening show

[peter]

I got that recording yesterday and that´s sad that I have to say that... I´m dissapointed... I was really looking forward for first official release of one of best Elvis concerts EVER, and I dont know who made a sound for Nevada Nights, but he completely destroyed it!

I know, that´s "only" a soundboard recording, not multitrack, but... I have a mp3 version of old bootleg with this concert If You Talk In Your Sleep (it was impossible to get it on CD for me...) and in fact, Nevada Nights seems to be a bad copy of this bootleg! It sounds like that whole concert is happening under cover... That sound doesn´t seems "real"... I dont know how to describe that. And far bigger problem - they killed the DYNAMIC of that show - that power of Never Been To Spain, Proud Mary... It´s completely GONE! Just play that beginning of that great version of Down In The Alley... on that bootleg it´s beautiful and clear... on official release it just sounds like that all microphones were "under the carpet"... I really dont know how to describe that, but I´m sad with it... It is just missed AMAZING chance!

While I agree the sound wasnt great on this release, it was wonderful hearing it at the correct speed. E didnt sound drugged like he does on the slower original boots.

Agree
To me is very best "From Sunset Boulevard To Paradise Road" 2 cd version (CD1:rehearsal from aug 16, CD2: Complete Opening show)

You can't beat the FTD version of NEVADA NIGHTS – this release is pure GOLD

I love Nevada Nights, but then I've never heard any different versions for sound comparison.
