For the first time EVER this concert will be as complete as possible with the inclusion of An American Trilogy (ending spliced with version from the previous night ), and youll be able to hear this show as recorded that night, without any addition of reverb or any other sound gimmicks.

Lyrics: The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before it's light Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay I'll leave 'cause I can't stand to see you hurt this way Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Though I knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start But if you wake up crying now, you know you'll break my heart Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Info:Elvis clearly in form in this picture! Hes enjoying the company of Billy Ward. As we all know Elvis was a great admirer of Billy Ward and his Dominoes. During the Million Dollar Quartet Session on December 4th 1956, Elvis mentions him and his group. He saw them in Las Vegas performing and was telling how much better their version of Dont Be Cruel was than his. Elvis said; I heard this guy in Las Vegas (Billy Ward and his Dominoes). There's a guy out there who's doin' a take-off of me, Don't Be Cruel. He tried so hard, till he got much better, boy, much better than that record of mine. Elvis didnt know his name but the leadsinger at the time was Jackie Wilson!
Written by Bob Hilliard and Burt Bacharach, this song was recorded by Chuck Jackson in 1962, the record reaching #23 on Billboard'sHot100Chart and #2 on the RhythmandBluesChart. His version was subtitled, "MyWildBeautifulBird." Percy Sledge had a moderate hit with the song in 1969, but the biggest version has been Ronnie Milsap's 1982 release which topped the CountryChart and reached #14 on the Hot100 Chart.
Elvis recorded it on February 21,1969, at American Sound Studios. His single release that spring failed to chart.
LYRICS
Any day now I will hear you say Goodbye my love You'll be on your way Then my wild beautiful bird You will have flown Any day now Ill be all alone Oh, oh, oh
Any day now, when your restless eyes Meet someone new To my sad surprise Then the blue shadow will fall all over town Any day now Love will let me down Oh, oh, oh
I know I shouldn't want to keep you If you don't want to stay, yeah Until you've gone forever I'll be holding on for dear life Holding you this way Begging you to stay
Any day now When the clock strikes go You'll call it off Then my tears will flow Then the blue shadow will fall all over town Any day now Love will let me down Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now Oh, oh, oh Oh, any day now Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Rhonda Williams pictured with the necklace Elvis gave her at a concert in 1974 on display at King's Ransom Museum's Elvis Presley exhibit at the Imperial Palace.
During a night rife with oddities, selecting the weirdest moment was a challenge. But it had to be at The Kings Ransom exhibit at Imperial Palace, a new-to-Vegas display of Elvis Presley memorabilia, ranging from the mod, blue jacket he wore in Spinout to the mod, blue bottle of Mylanta plucked from one of his medication-laden medicine cabinets. I cut a corner to take a look at one of the more fascinating displays, a collection of framed photos of Elvis meeting President Nixon in December 1970.
You get lost in these photos as you observe a clearly confused, glazed-over, glassy-eyed, acutely paranoid hostage of his own success.
But Elvis, conversely, looks relatively OK.
As any Elvis fan (or Nixon fan, for that matter) knows, Elvis requested the legendary visit so he could gain status as a federal agent at-large for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Buffeted by fistfuls of prescription pills each day, Presley actually sought Nixons support in his fight against drug abuse (see the National Archives account here.) A series of photos chronicles the famous session that took place in Nixons Oval Office, and as I peered through the glass, the person next to me said, Pretty ironic, huh?
Oh yeah, I said, turning to the person making the comment, who happened to be Linda Thompson. Shes Elvis beauty queen ex-girlfriend (and also ex-wife of Bruce Jenner and David Foster and mother of Brody Jenner), still gorgeous, and she was on hand for the VIP/media opening of the attraction. The display space is set just about next to the Imperial Theater, and you could even faintly hear the boys from Human Nature singing You Keep Me Hangin On and other Motown favorites during last nights tour. Bumping into a Memphis Mafia member or former confidant of the King was not too uncommon during this event. Also adding some vintage Elvis-dom to the exhibit space were Memphis Mafia insiders and longtime Presley friends Joe Esposito, Sonny West and Jimmy Velvet. Even Pete Big Elvis Vallee turned out, as did Rhonda Williams, who until this year owned a cross Elvis presented to her at the stage during a show in 1974. She sold the piece to The Kings Ransom proprietors Bud Glass and Russ Howe for the display.
Author of the authoritative Remember Elvis and Elvis Straight Up, Esposito is no longer a host at Wynn Las Vegas, but says he is traveling the world making appearances and talking about the days of Elvis. West is, too, a noteworthy Presley scribe, author of Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business.
Arranged by longtime Elvis historians Glass and Howe, The Kings Ransom showcases several items that once belonged to Presley or were used in Presley films or personal appearances. The tour runs at least through April and costs $10 a pop. Up for viewing are Presleys gold-plated .38 pistol encased in glass (which, sadly, is not the firearm he used to famously blow away a TV during an appearance by Robert Goulet on The Mike Douglas Show), a few of his karate gis, newspaper accounts of such memorable moments as the night he karate-chopped a drunken fan off the stage at the L.V. Hilton, and his red-velvet bedroom set from Graceland. Its not an overwhelming exhibit, not nearly as extensive as the attraction that filled the since-shuttered Elvis-A-Rama on Industrial Road for a few years. But it does provide an effective account of Presleys life and career.
As West noted during the walk-around, When Elvis touched you, he just grabbed you, and he never let you go.

The Power And Magic Remain by Joe Raymond South Bend Tribune October 21, 1976
I have to admit I was impressed. So, of course, were 12000 others who filled the Athletic and Convocation Center front to back to see Elvis Presley, the rock and roll king, sing, wriggle and roll. It takes an amazing power to take an auditorium of seemingly perfectly normal women in their mid-30s and take them back to 1960 and transform them into a screaming throng begging for one of the baby-blue towels or a chance to kiss or hug this superstar. For Presley, the power has never left.
His style varies little from the early days, but the world has changed and so has Presley. He now sports a longer hair style with lengthy sideburns and a paunchy frame on his body. He also has a fantastic voice for a rock and roll singer in his 40s. But it's the look that does it all; that sheepish, devilish grin and then a wink that drives the audience to screams and sets the Instamatics flashing.
Presley is backed up by a seven-piece horn section, three vocal groups - including soul singers the Sweet Inspirations - and a fine group of musicians, featuring the talents of David Briggs, songwriter and electric pianist. Warmed up by three acts, the Stamps, comedian Jackie Kahane and the Sweet Inspirations, it wasn't until close to 10 PM before the slinky Presley wiggled onto the stage. Opening on an upbeat with a country and western tune C.C. Ryder, Elvis set the stage for a variety of music that was to come.
Singing rock tunes like Jailhouse Rock, Teddy Bear, Johnny B. Goode, All Shook Up, What'd I Say and Hound Dog Presley recalled the earthy era of the 50s and 60s. Changing pace in between, Elvis fired up the audience as hot as his fireburst outfit with country and western and blues tunes like Steamroller Baby, Fever and If You Love Me Let Me Know.
In between all this singing, Presley was handing out those baby-blue towels faster than his second, Charlie Hodges, could put them around his sweat-soaked neck. For those who got one, it was the thrill of a lifetime. Debbie Slater of Mishawaka caught one in the middle of the show, musch to the delight of her screaming girlfriends. "I'll save it forever," she swooned. "I have to keep it from my sister so she won't take it. I've watched him in his old movies, and by pushing my way up to the front, I got the towel." It's that magic feeling that makes Presley a success and the magic hasn't left. Not yet at least...

Los Angeles - Elvis Presley fans keen to own a chunk of their idol now can: locks of what is claimed to be The King's hair are up for auction next week.
The large quantity of hair is one of about 200 items of Elvis memorabilia collected by the late Gary Pepper, who was the president of the Tankers Fan Club set up for Elvis fans.
Chicago-based Leslie Hindman Auctioneers said the hair, which is expected to sell for between $8 000 and $12 000 at the auction on October 18, was given to Pepper to mail to Presley fans and was believed to be from when the singer had his hair cut to join the US Army.
"In 1958, the nation's newspapers announced that Elvis Presley, having been newly recruited into the US Army, had received two haircuts trimming his famous locks and sideburns down to a greatly modified crew cut," said a statement by the auction house.
"Individual strands of Elvis Presley's shaved locks have since been treasured by his fans who wish to own a piece of The King himself."
The auction house has not had a DNA test carried out on the hair but quoted "an expert in celebrity hair authentication", John Reznikoff, saying it matched the Elvis hair he has in his collection.
Elvis died in 1977 at the age of 42.
Other items up for sale include signed photos, albums, publicity shots, souvenirs, and clothing.
Info:To get completely ready for the upcoming FTD release "The Impossible Dream" with the January 1971 material, we provide you with this picture of the week from the same engagement.
Info:Natural charisma! How else can you describe the look Elvis has on this photo? It was taken at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis in late 1953. Elvis already paid Sam Phillips a visit during the summer months to record My Happiness and Thats When Your Heartaches Begin. He would return in January 1954 to Sam Phillip Memphis Recording Service to cut the two-sided acetate, Ill Never Stand in Your Way/It Wouldnt Be the Same Without You. And the rest, the rest is history!
The Mid-South Fair is a fair that was held for many years in Memphis, Tennessee, every year around late September to early October. It is now held in neighboring northwest Mississippi. It hosts many shows and attractions. The event was last held in Memphis from September 19-28, 2008, in its 152nd year.Sep 30, 2009
The Gravel Road import label released another rehearsal CD. This time we can return to the past and join Elvis and his band rehearsing for Thats The Way It Is on July 29, 1970 at the MGM studio in Culver City.
Design
As we have become to expect from this label the design looks top-notch; modern with a touch of the seventies, and strangely a lot of the fifties too. The disc comes in a three panel digipack with a 20 pages booklet. Part of the design concept for the Thats The Way It Is movie was Elvis Presley looking back at the fifties. The designer took that as a theme for his design of the booklet. Although understandable I would have preferred a seventies theme all the way throughout the package as the movie is significant for Elvis in the early seventies. A picture of a 1970 Elvis over a screaming 1956 audience does not really work.
Content
The CD offers a fly on the wall view to follow the progress of the filming for the informal electric guitar segment for Thats The Way It Is. Large parts have previously been released on various releases (e.g "The Cream Of Culver City" and "Electrifying") in mono or altered stereo but never uncut and in stereo as on this disc; according to the press-release straight from the original tapes.
Playing this CD with your eyes closed you can easily imagine Elvis sitting a little to the right of you. The audio sounds very clear and full and because Elvis voice was recorded mainly on the right channel you get the very spatial impression. You really are the proverbial fly on the wall in this session.
You hear Elvis practice the songs for the upcoming shows; you recognize the arrangements for the orchestral versions we know so well. Only now they are performed informally by just Elvis and his band. Due to the fact that it is a filmed rehearsal Elvis acts that way and does not go all the way on the songs, he mainly practices them. But "Havana Gila" nicely shows how the singer and the band try to figure out how to do a certain new song that comes by as I can't imagine this one was planned for the movie. Highlights are from this rehearsal are "Little Sister/Get Back", "My Baby Left Me" and the great "Stranger In The Crowd".
I enjoyed the CD very much but I do understand that Ernst Jorgensen and co. cut out a lot of the dialogue or change the set-list for the main-label releases as all the breaks, chatter, fooling around dont make this a CD suitable to play for fiends.
Although the audio is very good, and due to the left / right recording of the people present giving a real spatial effect, there is a lot of hiss on the tape. Especially when the producers turn up the sound so you dont miss anything the hiss from the original tape is more audible; but I consider that part of the full and uncut release of these tapes.
Conclusion
A great release in great audio quality for the fans who want to join Elvis at the MGM studio in Culver City, rehearsing for Thats The Way It Is and concerts to come. You feel "plugged in", but Elvis is not "geared up".
