The Pope is Coming

Coming soon is the first 2-CD set is called "The Pope Is Coming," featuring the brand-new and previously unreleased evening show Elvis performed in Chicago on June 17, 1972. For years, fans only had access to the afternoon show, which is one of Elvis's finest performances during this tour, but the evening show was only known through a couple of minutes of 8mm fan footage. We were able to obtain this decent-sounding unreleased Elvis show, including part of the opening acts!.

The Sweet Inspirations set the mood by performing Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and their song "Sweet Inspiration" before the crowd goes wild, and the taper of this show exclaims, "The Pope Is Coming!" as the 2001 theme thunders through the Chicago Stadium. This digipack is filled with unreleased pictures from this show, and covering two discs, we present these two performances together for the first time, with the afternoon show newly remastered! Listen for great versions of "Release Me," "Reconsider Baby," "Something," "My Babe," "Little Sister / Get Back" (the second time Elvis used the original 1960s intro!), "I'll Remember You," "Hound Dog," among many other highlights!
