Polk Salad Annie - FTD Vol. 21
POLK SALAD ANNIE - ON STAGE REVISITED
Polk Salad Annie contains live performances (mostly) from the midnight show on February 15, 1970 and some bonus tracks from other dates.

The sound quality is good, but unfortunately Elvis' vocal performance is sub-par on several tracks.

Still a great release!

As Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis
ELVIS RECORDED LIVE ON STAGE IN MEMPHIS
This concert has screamed for a decent release since 1974. It is out now in updated sound. Live On Stage In Memphis from 1974 was a poorly produced LP containing Elvis' show in Memphis on March 20, 1974. Several songs were edited out, and the sound quality (artificial audience reaction included) left lots to be desired.

Many Elvis fans, myself included rate this concert as one of the best released by RCA during Elvis' lifetime.
