Elvis On Tour: The Rehearsals FTD CD (Elvis Presley)

Elvis On Tour - The Rehearsals features recordings from RCA s studios in Hollywood in March 1972, which were conducted in association with that year s MGM concert film Elvis on Tour. The CD covers Elvis rehearsals for his upcoming tour, combining classic Elvis live repertoire with some of his new studio material of that time.

All the songs on this release are RCA recordings and not the MGM camera recordings that have been used on various bootleg CD's. Elvis is in a great spirits and the CD includes a performance of Young And Beautiful.

There have been a lot of 'rehearsal' Elvis CDs to come out, but this one, apropriatly titled, Elvis On Tour - The Rehearsals is by far the best. First of all, it almost sounds like a studio album.

The songs are mostly complete without a bunch of mistakes and a do-overs and most sound really great. There isn't any joking around, each track pretty much jumps strait to the next song.

Standing Room Only was the working title for the Elvis On Tour Movie. This CD featues studio recording some of which were performed live in On Tour.
