From the Madison label, Sunday June 1,1975 afternoon show Von Braun Civic Center, Huntsville, Al2 CD set - original NOT CDr!The Madison label released the second volume in their "A Wild Weekend In Huntsville" set. Should we get wild? From ElvisNews: Design These two CDs are Madison releases … need I say more? The design of both volumes matches; perhaps a bit dark due to black as the main colour but they come with well written and illustrated liner notes describing the shows in their historical context. Volume 2: June 1, 1975 afternoon show (soundboard) About five minutes into the show Elvis says he has only been out of bed for two hours – and remember this is an afternoon show, not a breakfast concert – and the flashes of the camera’s are a bit bright for a guy just out of bed … I think it sound very disrespectful to his fans. Does it say anything about the show on this CD?Yes it does. Our man, just out of bed, has not wasted too much energy so there are some nice performances that have some spunk, he is in a good mood having fun with the audience, being generous to a couple of twins and the band. Singing a line of “Jambalaya”, humming “Begin The Beguine” and dropping “Please Release Me” on the band. There are some nice performances too, of course with “Burning Love” and “How Great Thou Art” as the highlights. On the other hand complaints to the sound engineers about his microphone, still has to sing his new hit “T.R.O.U.B.L.E” from a sheet (which he didn’t appear to do the day before) and mentions he did not even work up a sweat. That remark kind of tells it all. Elvis, just out of bed, waking up during the intro, shaking his tail feather on “Burning Love” and enjoying himself on “How Great Thou Art”, but not working up a sweat. This doesn’t stick with you, like the first volume. The audio quality of both volumes is very good. For the complete concert experience the June 1st. concert contains additional recordings of the missing tracks. The May 31st. concert is incomplete but comes with a short – possibly Elvis’ last – interview, nicely linked to the Humes Hugh School football team that is mentioned in the show. Part of this concert was released before on the Follow That Dream release “Southern Nights”. Conclusion A nicely designed set documenting two of Elvis’ performances at the Von Braun Civic Center May / June 1975 with one enjoyable first volume and a second less entertaining volume that probably will remain in my archive as part of the well documented history. The images on the cover kind of speak for themselves.
