    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"

    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. 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!

    GREAT QUESTION EAP1977!!!

    Let me take a crack at these...

    #1 - This one HAS to be the version from Hampton Roads '72, featured in ELVIS ON TOUR!!! That version just flat out rocks!! (However if I am in an Elvis 1977 mood, I really dig the version from SPRING TOURS '77!!)

    #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...

    #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!!

    TCB!
    Mike

    #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

    #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
