The August 16, 1974 rehearsal, presented here has been carefully and newly mixed. Previous editions suffered from a problem where the music dropped to a very low volume whenever Elvis began singing. Using the latest state-of-the-art studio technology, we have worked to create a much more balanced recording that does justice to both the musicianship and Elvis’ performance. Each song has been carefully mixed for the best presentation.
The rehearsal has also been speed-corrected, as earlier releases ran far too slow. This important correction changes the whole rehearsal in the sense of that it does not sound any longer like a tired Elvis at work, and the band having gone to waste as soon as Elvis starts singing.
Since the complete recording demands not only one, but two CDs, we have added many performance highlights from the “Summer Festival” 1974 engagement. So what you get is a real STRONG 2-CD set, which should not be missed in any collection!
