FTD - Elvis in Florida - April 1975

In 2014, the FTD label released the CD 'Elvis In Florida - April 1975 in a 7 "format. This 1 CD release contains the highlights of the shows in April 1975. The tracks are a collection of songs by Jacksonville (25 April 1975, evening show) and Lakeland (April 27 and 28, evening shows) The 12-page booklet contains not only photos of Elvis (taken by Keith Alverson) but also photos of Elvis' band members along with fans, as well as images of newspaper clippings of days after Elvis' performances. Nice detail: during this concert we hear Elvis, the perfectionist. When there is a problem with the sound during Love Me Tender, it seems as if Felton Jarvis and Bill Porter want to get away with excuses. What Elvis does not accept "Is it The Lord's fault ...? Nice! Elvis enjoys a lot during these shows. Also a lot of contact with the fans during this period. Great release for the '70's lovers among us.
