Bringing It All Back Home

November 14, 2009 | Music

The label Venus Productions will soon release the double CD set Bringing It All Back Home featuring two concerts recorded in Elvis’ hometown. These concerts were previously released on "Hello Memphis" and "Let Me Take You Home".

From the press-release

The first CD will contain the matinee performance of March 16, 1974, his first live appearance in Memphis since 1961. The source used was the first generation soundboard tape for optimum sound quality.

The second CD features the only performance of Elvis at the Mid-South Coliseum in 1975. 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 you’ll be able to hear this show as recorded that night, without any addition of reverb or any other sound gimmicks.

This release as our previous set Black Angels In Vegas will come to you in a beautiful full color, hardcover book with many pictures and liner notes, spread over 132 pages.

Here is your chance to get both shows in the best sound quality ever, in the ultimate package, so … bring them all back home for good!

I bought the "Black Angels In Vegas" and it was an excellent rerelease (improved sound quality + interesting and funny book). I don`t know about this one though... Both shows are previously released , and I've got DAE's 'Let Me Take You Home' bootleg, and the sound is incredible. But I don't have `Hello Memphis'...and 40 euros just to get this one is too much.

i don't like these double Cd's when it comes to concerts. for some reason i prefer them packaged seperately. looks interesting though

I still don't have these concert so i will buy it. The first release from this label was great,i hope it will be at least as good. Love,Erika

as much as I loved Black Angels in Vegas, I recently bought A day in dayton, which is great. I don't think this 1974 concert ads something new. Also the 75 concert doesn't seem all that exciting. The packaging will be good I think but that doesn't want me to spend that money..

It's essential for those who don't have these concerts. Elvis was great in march 74 and he was still was quite good in june 75,too.

These are two excellent concerts. The originals sound great, so I don't think they could possibly improve on the sound. I love the original CD, "Let Me Take You Home" (1975)- Elvis gives a terrific performance!

Can somebody pls explain this : Disc 2 (Memphis june 10th 1975) : track 26 is "American Trilogy" and is spliced. As a bonus, track 29, "American Trilogy", is said to be also from june 10th, but "unedited" ???? Thks in advance. Always El.

I guess...it is what was actually recorded of the song w/o the splicing with the Jackson show. Two excellent concerts btw...
