Here a press release from Straight Arrow: Adios Lincoln
Monday, June 20, 1977,8:30 pm, Lincoln, NE, Pershing Municipal Auditorium.
Label: Straight Arrow Special Products SA/SP 2014-23-02

Most of Elvis’ musicians prefer not to talk about Elvis’ final tours, but whenever they do, they usually agree that final tour was one that should have never been undertaken. It was simply one tour too many. At this stage it was impossible to hide the fact that Elvis was in serious problems.
In any case, the Lincoln concert is one of the finest shows from that last tour. Elvis sounds much better than in Omaha the day before. Surprises include a well-sung ‘Help Me’ and arguably the best ever version of ‘Unchained Melody’, which for the first and only time was performed before the band introductions. Interestingly, and completely unknown until now, is that Elvis asks J.D. Sumner and the Stamps to perform 'Walk That Lonesome Road' during the band intros, which is very unusual for the time frame.

The June 20, 1977 show was first issued on CD in 2004 („ELVIS ROCKS LINCOLN“). This sloppy edition was taken from an incomplete source, missing 17 minutes. For the first time Straight Arrow offer this concert complete. Using two independent original audience recored tapes, Straight Arrow's sound engineer was able to restore all 73 minutes of Lincoln concert.

This new CD edition is limited to 500 copies. Do not miss one of the best shows from Elvis Presley final tour!

Rattling Plates, Aces'n'Eights (From „booth tapes“ Vol. 5)
Friday, August 24, 1973 Dinner Show, Las Vegas Hilton, Las Vegas, NV Label: Straight Arrow Special Products SA/SP 2014-24-02

Liner notes:
Imagine being a singer, and really putting your heart into a song. At the same time, your audience is having dinner, and some of them plainly don’t give a fuck about you or your singing. They are talking loudly, making noises with their plates, smoking one cigarette after another… Doesn’t sound very enticing, does it?

By 1973, it was clear that Elvis’ Las Vegas shows had a negative effect on the singer. But even at this stage, he was still impressive as a singer and a performer, and especially on those nights where he really turned on the power, there was nobody like him in Vegas -- or anywhere else, for that matter.
The August 24th, 1973 dinner show is unreleased in any form and was sourced from an original, excellent sounding „booth“ tape. What is perhaps most surprising, is that Elvis was still quite focused three weeks into the engagement. In earlier years, the standard had sometimes slipped a bit in the third week, even as early as August ’70! Now he delivers a strong show, with ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ and ‘Big Hunk O’ Love’ being the show highlights. ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was not a regular during this season up to this point, but he delights the audience with a snappy version of his first million seller. And who knows, at this stage he may well have concluded that he’d found his own ‘Heartbreak Hotel’…

This show was rediscovered recently and we believe that you will agree with us that this is another great find. A real must - not just for the hardcore collector. Another quality Straight Arrow release!

Genau genommen ist jetzt nur die 73er Show erschienen, die Lincoln folgt erst so in ca. 2 Wochen....war zuerst von mir etwas zu euphorisch

Soviel ich weiss sind beide draußen.

hab sie beide letzten freitag im doppelpack um 29,- in die Hände bekommen. klasse CDs, die lincoln finde ich sogar ziemlich gut was die performance anbelangt. qualitativ typisch straight arrow, die haben ein gewisses gütesiegel

Bei der Rattling Plates steht:

"The August 24, 193 DS was released in 2011 by Memory Records on "A Burst of Fire" from an invernior and incomplete audience recording soruce. This CD has nothing to do with Straight Arrows "booth tape" version."


Das verstehe ich nicht. Die "A Burst of Fire" ist doch vom 25. August?

Ist jetzt die Memory vom 24. August oder ist die Straight Arrow jetzt vom 25. August? Die Songs sind ja zumindest in de Reihenfolge absolut identisch.

Das Datum der Burst war nur angenommen. Das original
Tape war nicht datiert. Nun ist das neue Band von SA
aufgetaucht und das Datum der Burst hat sich als falsch
heraus gestellt. Man kann sie nun eigentlich aussortieren.

Noch mal verglichen:

Abgesehen von dem besseren Sound... das ist doch absolut identisch! Meiner Meinung nach auch von der gleichen Stelle aus aufgenommen.
