Elvis Presley Bootleg CDs & DVDs
This is the earliest soundboard to date of Elvis first Las Vegas engagement in 1969.
It's also the sixth live performance he gave in 1969, this is to date the closest you can get to the opening show of July 31st, 1969 and the music is very different from the late August released live performances.
A preview; a remastered soundtrack and 32 pages booklet with reviews, interviews and over 60 photos.
The liner notes are a review of somebody who actually was there so it will give you a very lively idea how it looked. The more than 50 photos of the same show (many in color) included will help you even more to imagine the first few shows of 1969. As an bonus, included are some interviews prior to the opening show and original radio spots of 1969. We hope at Gravel road Music that you all are just as excited as we are about this release cause it's a historical soundboard recording, placed in the right perspective.
Note; The show itself was released by Fort Baxter in 1993 as 'Opening Night' no edits were made at the time and an effect was placed on the audio to cover up the tape noise.
Now it is upfront clear and very lively as a wild 69 show should be. For the ones who have 'Opening night' or the copy from this show, this release will appear as if you hear it for the first time.

Review : Elvis Country FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set
* 48 Hours To Memphis is actually not stereo but it has been mixed from a two track tape and very high quality 'hi-fi' and not only is it not a soundboard it compares perfectly with normal stereo releases.
Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD. Digipack with a 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50'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. 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.
