3. Heartbreak Hotel
4. Love Me
5. Baby What You Want Me To Do
6. Blue Suede Shoes
7. Baby What You Want Me To Do
8. Lawdy Miss Clawdy

18. One Night
19. Heartbreak Hotel
20. Hound Dog

24. Don't Be Cruel
25. Blue Suede Shoes

27. Trouble/Guitar Man
28. Baby What You Want Me To Do
29. If I Can Dream

Which is basically the 'sit down' and 'stand up' parts from the show.

The 'sit down' part is just astonishing, isn't it? You get this absolute icon, scared shitless (by all accounts) sitting round, jamming & riffing with his backing band - running through stuff they'd rehearsed, and alot they hadn't, and it's just fantastic to hear it, without the visuals. It's kind of primeval, isn't it? The charisma, the way that voice just cuts through all the bullshit - it's spellbinding.

What do you think?

I have this edition of that event:



It is tremendous. The Unplugged section is my favourite, which is no surprise really. The more "showbiz" parts are pretty good tot, though interpolating Guitar Man over and again can get a little grating.

The guy had whatever "it" is in spades. To be charismatic down through this many years - 40! - is something sure enough.

[Diamond Dog]

You know, he rips "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and it's like the best version of it, ever. Amazing, truly amazing.

[Kenji]

I've never listened without pictures but I think you can still "see" it anyway...

[Moleskin]

I have yet a third version of this:



Just the sit-down part this time. The fact this material gets reissued so often is testament to it's greatness.

Yeah. I find myself doing that stomping with my feet, the way he did.

Stand up and work that pelvis Pete!

Seriously, your thread gave me an Elvis itch. So much so that even though I have it on a CD-R somewhere at home, I ran to the record shop at lunch time to get the record shown by Brotherlouie. Now playing: "baby What You Want Me to Do". Whoo-oooh!

My wish is your command!

It's clearly the best segment of the whole thing - the way he keeps returning to it, like he's got unfinished business or suchlike? I love that sit down part - wonderful.

There's an (unknown to me) version on the set above of that - it really rocks, much more in a 'rock' way than you'd expect from Elvis.

[Mychael]

I have yet a third version of this:



Just the sit-down part this time. The fact this material gets reissued so often is testament to it's greatness.

It's the other show ("Because we did two, you know...") . "Tiger Man" was a companion release to "Memories" with no overlap.
