FTD will release 'From Hawaii To Las Vegas' this month. The CD is in the 5" digi pack series. The rehearsal was recorded from the soundboard of Elvis' January 25, 1973 Las Vegas dress rehearsal for his January/February season at The Las Vegas Hilton. The rough audio quality is more than compensated by the fascinating insight into how Elvis worked in order to create his shows. With little talk, and a lot of music, we are invited to a first row presentation of what he had in mind, and yet he decided to change the repertoire the very next day. Among the many songs is 'Separate Ways', rehearsed with and without the orchestra - a song that Elvis chose to never perform in public. So an interesting release, one the likes of we have not had before.
