Elvis: The King's Realm Discussion Forum

Just got sent this in my email Knock Out Records is proud to announce the release of A Grand Finale in Indianapolis,
featuring Elvis' last live performance, recorded in Indianapolis, Indiana, on June 26, 1977, in the best sound quality available.

This historic show, presented here, sounds superior to all previously available versions. During his final concert, Elvis delivered powerful performances of “Little Sister,” “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and “Release Me.” This recording truly captures the atmosphere and emotion of Elvis’ final appearance on stage.

This new release comes in a limited edition beautifully designed digipack, accompanied by rare photos from his final show.

A Grand Finale in Indianapolis is an essential addition to every Elvis collection. Whether you already own earlier editions or not, this release stands as a moving document marking the end of Elvis’ career — and a lasting tribute to the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.

Unless it's a newly discovered soundboard or multi track, I ain't buying. I've had too many versions of this concert in my collection already. They all sound exactly the same. Poor audience recording. I suspect this new money grab release is no different. Thanks, but no thanks.

I believe there are two audiense recorded sources.
The one released as "The last farewell" on vinyl (and incomplete cd) and the "Adios" version by AJR.
Al the following up ones are sourced from these two.
I have highly doubt this version will sound any better.

It's telling that there's no mention of a new or improved source tape...

The Rapid City show is at least as good as this one and probably better. Bridge Over Troubled Water, Release Me, and I Can’t Stop Loving You are difficult to listen to and show how diminished Elvis was.

Blatant errors on the front cover (in this case "Market Square Garden") are always a good indicator of a quality release. Someone clearly had "Madison Square Garden" in mind while designing the cover, and never bothered to double-check. We'll see what this is about but I have my doubts for now.

For those that don't have the show in their collections yet, this release might still be interesting. Although I hope FTD will get to Indy at some point. Elvis delivered that night and it shows.

I thought Elvis sounded more relaxed than when there were cameras

The Rapid City show was by far his best from that tour... Indy he sounds medicated and exhausted.

Totaly agree with you !

As expected, this version has the "Adios" cd as source.
It may be sound a (very very tiny bit) better, but in a way it's the same.
If one could reduce the echo from it, it could be another thing..
But for new, the fan who hasn't have Elvis his latest concert , they could do worse.
