Recording: Audience
Label: Rainbow Records RR-19690806-2 (Released 2010)

While the Elvis-World has just finished celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Elvis’ stunning 1969 engagement in Las Vegas, Rainbow Records proudly presents a complete concert which has been recorded during that famous season. With its 10th release Rainbow Records continues their series titled “Vegas Variety”. On the latest release Vegas Variety – Vol.3 you will find the August 6th 1969 dinner show performance. In the early 1990s this concert was featured on a vinyl release called The Return of the Tigerman. Unfortunately that release had several cuts and the sound was mediocre. The new Rainbow Records CD used a superior source to create a fresh but warm sound and all missing parts were carefully repaired. Compared to the famous Opening Night 1969 CD by Fort Baxter recorded just 3 days prior to the show on this release, this new CD offers more atmosphere because the reactions of the audience are present.
There are a lot of highlights – you can’t name them all. Beautiful versions of Memories or Yesterday, great renditions of Runaway or Suspicious Minds – it’s just the magic of 1969.
Even the owners of Ken Sharp’s Elvis In Vegas ‘69 book will find some unreleased shots and memorabilia in the 20-pages booklet. The official album Elvis In Person featured some recordings from the end of this 1969 engagement, but to hear the pure Elvis, raw and powerful you really have to jump to the beginning of this season. So with Vegas Variety – Vol.3 this is your chance to enjoy a great and powerful show from 1969!
