Here is the press release
for the upcoming Straight
Arrow release "High Sierra
Fever" with an unreleased
audience recording of Elvis'
May 7, 1973 midnight show
from Lake Tahoe.
Press release:
The forthcoming release from
the "Straight Arrow" label
is titled "High Sierra
Fever" (SA 2007-7-02), and
will feature the Lake Tahoe,
May 7th, 1973 Midnight show
as taken from an excellent
quality audience recorded
tape.
Compared to the
January/February 1973 Las
Vegas shows, Elvis was in
better voice in Lake Tahoe,
and his shows were more
engaged and playful again.
This concert includes classy
performances of "Steamroller
Blues", "You Gave Me A
Mountain", "I'm Leavin' ",
"What Now My Love", "I'll
Remember You", "Bridge Over
Troubled Water" and "A Big
Hunk O'Love".
As a bonus, an excerpt of
"Surrender" and the seldom
performed "It's Over",
recorded during the Midnight
Show the previous day were
added. Both master tapes
were recorded by the same
person, and they are of
equal sound-quality.
This recording comes from a
1st generation copy of the
original tape. As you�ve
come to expect from us, the
sound was restored in a
renowned studio to achieve
the best possible results.
And it's not necessary to
emphasize another Straight
Arrow label tradition � this
new CD will come in a deluxe
package with a 16-page
booklet, containing a
collection of live- and
candid photographs from
April, May and June 1973,
rare Lake Tahoe memorabilia,
informative liner notes as
well as details about Elvis'
Lake Tahoe 1973 season. This
CD is set for release in
late September. Don't miss
your opportunity to spend an
unforgettable hour with The
King in High Sierra!
