FTD - Elvis: From Georgia To Florida
At the end of April 1975, Elvis started a new tour. First stop was Macon, Georgia on April 24 for an evening show. The show can be heard on disc 1 on the release Elvis: From Georgia To Florida on the FTD label. This double CD on the 5 "format contains two concerts from April 1975. On CD 2 you can hear the afternoon show of April 27 in Civic Center, Florida. This show has never been released before. The standout in the show is the fact that Elvis is bringing the song Help Me here. The downside of the recording is the fact that the recording tape started too late which is the reason why Openingtheme, See See Rider and I Got A Woman / Amen are not included.
Despite the fact that Elvis' body weight was not completely under control during this period, the number of shows planned for this tour were really not enough. 3 shows were sold out for Atlanta, good for 50 000 tickets. Murfreesboro received two additional shows at the end of the tour. Tampa, Monroe and Lake Charles received additional concerts in the afternoon. A radio station in Jacksonville started a competition to win tickets that required enthusiasts to call the station ... Throughout the region, the telephone system failed due to the countless calls. In the end, the competition changed in the call to present themselves personally in an Elvis outfit.
