Summer Festival

April 19, 2022 | Music

Now available is this 5 CD set featuring 5 audience recorded live shows from August 1971.

For the first time the August 9 opening show is released on CD. We have been able to locate an early generation original cassette tape of this show. It seems the recordings from the opening night that circulate in the fan circuit originate from the same tape. Although the August 9 & 10 shows are not of the best quality we realised these are must have recordings in every Elvis Presley live collection. Especially knowing no soundboard recordings have yet surfaced. A total of 5 shows are included in this box set. All recordings have been painstakingly remastered & repaired.

Included in this box set are:

August 9, 1971 opening show
August 10, 1971 dinner show
August 11, 1971 dinner show
August 12, 1971 midnight show
August 14, 1971 midnight show

Only new on shiny disc Aug 9, 1970 OS from the well known cdr. This means ..bad sound. All other available on import. Some on various.
