No doubt that Elvis Week is approaching fast. It�s been raining imports for weeks now. Here�s a list of the latest releases: �Transmission�, �The American Way/Sound of the City�, �Elvis at the Jungle�, �Early Morning Rain�, �Rock and Blues�,� Two of these get a separate introduction, because they stand out of the pack. �A Legendary Performer 9�: see news posting earlier, and �Kicking and Rolling�, which features the famous midnight concert of February 18, 1973 � the show in which Elvis is attacked on stage.

This last CD was made available 7 years ago, under the title �I�ll Whoop His Ass� but with a horrible sound quality. This time, the Straight Arrow label presents the show as an excellent soundboard � which it is. Halfway through the concert, Elvis is attacked on stage by four individuals. The following 2 minutes are filled with screams from the audience, and panic. This unusual scene ends with a huge applause, when the attackers are taken away off stage. Elvis picks up his mike, and comments: �If they want to shake my hand, that�s fine. If he wants to get tough, I�ll whoop his ass!�� and he resumes the show with �I Can�t Stop Loving You�, as if nothing has happened.
