Elvis Presley From Elvis Presley Boulevard Memphis Tennessee 1976

From Elvis Presley Boulevard Memphis Tennessee is an album recorded live in the studio by Elvis Presley.

It was recorded at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee between February 2nd and 7th, 1976.

As Wikipedia acknowledges, this is not a true live in concert performance because there wasn’t an audience. As such it just scrapes into the scope of this blog and partly because the general impression is that it’s live in concert.

Elvis Presley Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite 1973

It was recorded at the Honolulu International Center (now called the Neal S. Blaisdell Center) in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 14, 1973. It was broadcast the next day on over 40 countries but, because it clashed with The Superbowl, it wasn’t shown on American TV until April 4, 1973. The double album recording of it was released in February 1973.

The original album featured 24 songs. Five more were added when the CD was remastered in 1998.

In 2013, the Legacy edition of Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite was released with the original album on one CD and the bonus tracks plus a recording of the rehearsal.
