  1. Darn it, I was hoping this LP was a complete concert performance of a single show. I’m gonna pass on it.

    Isn’t this a record store day release?

    The Richmond show is the one where he wears the maroon "Burning Love" suit, right?

    Someone over at FECC fixed the I Got A Woman track very nicely.

    The great Robert Fripp wrote an essay in a King Crimson release (Nightwatch) about the vagaries of live recording. State of the band, state of the audience, acoustics, tapes etc.
    Re this release Qobuz have the 24/96 flac for about £24.

    I'm writing from the Suburbs of Richmond, VA and I have older friends and family that were at the show and also told me about it, so I am also thrilled to have it in pro quality.

    As an RVA native and frequent visitor to the Coliseum (RIP) I actually feel qualified to say that the acoustics were TERRIBLE in there. I realize that shouldn't have an effect on a multi track or soundboard but I thought it was worth mentioning that fact just in case it could.

    I was really hoping to come back to this thread and tell everyone not happy with the sound/mixes - you are wrong. However, after listening to the majority of the live shows on the main system last night, I have to agree. I can't quite put my finger on it, but flat and dull keeps coming to mind. Still glad to have it though but man, the sound is just failing to inspire.:shake:

    It lacks power too. After a few more comparisons, I can’t thrilled about it. Elvis’ voice is also too far. The Amiga set will be the one, for me, listening to this material.

    Same here. Yeah, I am a bit let down with this release, shame.

    Yeah, Elvis' vocal is too far back in the mix on the Greensboro show, at least on some of the tracks. The bootleg isn't perfect by any means but I like the mix better, even though the guitar and the piano aren't properly balanced on the bootleg.

    I'm up to Richmond now. I switched around three different ear buds to one that I thought sounded good. It's a slightly better listen on speakers but it shouldn't have to be.

    It's been great to have this but man, wish it sparkles a bit more.

    Gorgeous. And still keeping the original cover art!

    Sadly, the image of the Blu Ray disc doesn’t give me hope that it’s anything other than the 2010 hatchet job, and not a restored Johnny B. Goode opening.

    The package looks nice. But why a separate vinyl release?

    The 68 Comeback and TTWII, an LP sized format. EOT, just like Las Vegas 1969, it asks for damage.

    They could have made an attractive set. Cd’s, vinyl, poster, and some memorabilia.

    Go to Google and search for the KISS “Creatures of the Night” Anniversary set. That’s how Anniversaries should celebrated. And that for €180 on Amazon.

    This and the dissapointing sound, unfortunately.

    The FTD release will probably be 12" packaging.

    the vinyl counterpart releases for all of the recent Elvis deluxe sets have been highlights. Which is good, because at least it means they aren’t shortchanging the cd’s just so they can have matching track lists on the vinyl set, which is what the Beatles deluxe sets have been doing.

    Also has there been any further info about that Live ‘72 vinyl release?
