Gravelroad Music will release 'Elvis : Let It Rock!' containing the February 23, 1971 Closing Show. This is the fourth deluxe digipack CD and last of Gravelroad's highly sought after series LAS VEGAS JAN/FEB 1971 engagement. Just like the previous three CDs this is a limited pressing. This CD contains the complete closing show of February 23, 1971.

Twenty-two color photos of the same show and a beautiful and rare poster as a centerfold are used to make this a fabulous package Elvis 1971 style! Audio has been restored to a more balanced sound and the missing rare first live version of 'Help me make it through the night' is also included! We believe, with our four releases to have captured Elvis at his best! In Vegas 1971

Great sound, Quality photos, Strong in-depth liner notes.

About the show, the quality of performing is truly excellent, Elvis is committed to give an excellent show. Less talkative between songs until the last part of the show, where he start to talk and surprises us with his very first known performance of 'Help Me Make It Through The Night', which he will record only a little while later that same year. Was it a try out? Much more background info you can find in the liner notes ...

Definitive highlights of the show are 'Polk Salad Annie', 'How Great Thou Art', 'Bridge Over troubled Water', 'Help Me Make It Through The Night' and the powerful 'The Impossible Dream'! What you can expect from us ... Gravelroad Music stands for high quality releases, with very high expectations for both the audio and the packaging and background information.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
