High Spirit in Birmingham (VV Records) will focus on Elvis’ December 1976 tour, featuring the show from December 29th, 1976, previously unreleased on vinyl and taken directly from the original high-quality tape.
The December 29th Show was previously released on CD but this is the first time on vinyl format with an incredibly superior sound. The vinyl will be accompanied by a DVD with almost the complete show using different footage coming from the December tour. A Must-have!
The VV intention is to present Elvis at the peak of his possibility and without any doubt Elvis’ the December tour it’s undoubtedly the best moment of Elvis in 1976, presenting him at the top of his possibilities, delivering great shows. If Rock is an attitude, then the man still has it. The performances are very good and Birmingham's show is surely the best of the tour.
Elvis sings and is still very active on the stage He performs all the songs to the maximum of his possibilities, presenting all the best of his repertoire from the previous years combined with the last 1976 single like Hurt and introducing a new song Unchained Melody inside his repertoire ranging in all musical genres as only he can do.
We are happy to be able to associate great performance with great audio quality and overall a great bonus DVD in order to be able to obtain a result that you can enjoy too.
The show is great and now consists of a solid collection of great-quality songs all well-performed. The range of Elvis’ performance is very wide we go from the rocking with the two classic Polk Salad Annie and Mystery Train/Tiger Man, the dramatic last single Hurt, without forgetting the sensitive For The Good Times and the autobiographical You Gave Me a Mountain ending with the best topic moment show the powerful pop ballad Unchained Melody where Elvis accompanied himself at the piano and without a doubt represent the highlight of the complete tour.
