Elvis Blackjack Beat 2LP/2CD
Brand New and Sealed - Purple Vinyl
Featuring the September 1, 1971 Dinner and Midnight Show performances as recorded in Las Vegas on 180 gram purple or black colored vinyl.
Between the mega-years and after the comeback special lay a period that is far too rarely explored.
With 'Elvis Blackjack Beat', you gain access for the first time to two complete, previously unreleased concerts: the Dinner Show and the MidnightShow from the International Hotel. This is not a "greatest hits" compilation, this is Elvis, unfiltered, raw and up close.
Why this edition is a must-have for every fan:
1. Two complete concerts, released for the first time. Experience both shows complete and uncut.
From the first note to the final encore. You're sitting on the first row. You hear the jokes, the
announcements, the magic between Elvis and his audience. Elvis hasn't been this intimate since the 1950s.
2. A rarity that makes history. A rare, extended performance of 'I Need Your Lovin' Everyday'. A song that Elvis only very rarely played live. For collectors, this is a sensation and one of the most important discoveries of recent years.
3. Sounds like never before. Both concerts have been meticulously remastered from the original
master tapes. The result: new clarity, depth, and presence. You'll hear the TCB Band, the Sweet
Inspirations, and Elvis' voice with a warmth and directness that catapults you right into the
International Hotel in 1971.
4. The ultimate collector's set! This strictly Limited Edition is released as a double LP plus CD
set. Choose between classic black or exclusive purple vinyl. Two CDs with both complete shows for on the go and at home. Unseen photos from this era in a Deluxe booklet. A glimpse behind the scenes of an often overlooked period.
Two shows, showing two facets of Elvis. The Dinner Show gives us a relaxed, playful, with plenty of humor while the Midnight Show offers an intense and powerful Elvis, the King at his best.
'Elvis - Blackjack Beat' is more than a live album. It's a historical document. A rare glimpse into an
artist at a turning point in his career, between showman and legend.
