Memphis 69'
Nashville 70'
what do you think is better or your favorite Elvis recording session, Memphis 69' or Nashville 70' ? I'm leaning toward memphis 69. Hard though.

Got my family, my kids, my books and my music, I'm good, yeah, I'm good.....
I'd have to call that a draw. IMO all his best stuff came from 68-71 sessions and concerts.
it's hard to make a choice but i choose memphis '69: absolutely amazing!!!
and I love you so..people ask me how..how I've lived 'till now
This is a topic where there is no loser, what great sessions!
Thats a tough one but i have to go with Memphis 1969 but Nashville was a good session too.
I did it my way.
Memphis '69 was possibly his best recording session, IMO. It's close between that and his early '60s sessions, IMO.
I think Elvis had his best songs overall in the '60s (yes that includes some of his movie songs). Then I'd have to say '50s and '70s is almost a deadlock.
YOU LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE? YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
I voted for Nashville 70. In the early 70's Elvis was at his best.
The Memphis sessions did bring Elvis back to the charts.

What a run of great albums EP cut from 1968/1970. Here is 7 excellent albums of the twelve, that's right, twelve albums released during this 3 year span, including two box sets! Take a look at that list and the incredible music he recorded, unfrickinbelievable! Just the Memphis and Country LP's alone were awesome, not to mention the others. Most artists would die for two releases like this in 3 years.

As a performer, yes, I'd agree that late '60s and early '70s he was at his best.Originally Posted by Suspicious Minds

While some fantastic material came out of Nashville in 1970, it's the Memphis 69 sessions for me!

Memphis Sessions by far.When you consider what he was recording before Memphis 69 its even more amazing.
