To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley's engrossing On Stage album, the fine folks at Legacy Recordings have reissued it as a double-disc set that captures him in Las Vegas at a critical point in his career. Presley had spent most of the 1960s making unmemorable movies but the famed '68 Comeback Special brought him an enormous television audience. Listening to On Stage, as well as the additional reissue of Elvis in Person, it's clear that Presley gave this engagement his best shot. "The Wonder of You," a vocal tour de force, originally came from On Stage, but I had never heard his lively rendition of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline." I wouldn't have thought that would work, but now I'm a believer.
Was too young to ever see him in concert, but I can visualize the "Vegas Elvis" working the stage whenever I hear "Walk a Mile in My Shoes." One of the bonus tracks is an early performance of a future signature hit, "Kentucky Rain," and another is a rehearsal of "The Wonder of You," in which he swaps out the word "inspiration," causing the band (and me) to giggle when he croons, "You give me hope and constipation."
On Stage was recorded in February 1970, while Elvis in Person comes from his August 1969 concerts. (Elvis in Person was initially released as the first disc of From Memphis to Vegas -- From Vegas to Memphis in 1969, then reissued a year later as a single album.) You can hear the women shrieking when he busts out "In the Ghetto," although I'm partial to his unexpected cover of the Bee Gees' "Words." Among the six bonus tracks here is a live rendition of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away." Indeed, it is funny. But don't be mistaken -- this reissue is seriously cool.
