MRS ''ELVIS: Live At Boston Garden '71'

In 1971, outside of his three ‘casino’ seasons in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe, Elvis only performed 14 concerts on tour all at the end of the year in November ’71 and from these shows only one soundboard has been found Elvis’ Boston Garden performance from November 10.

Other November '71 audience recordings have been released via bootlegs but most of them are very average audio quality. Which means that Elvis’ concert in Boston Garden is the best we will probably ever have.

I have bought this concert multiple times, first via the original bootleg 'The Power Of Shazam!' then later on the Madison bootleg upgrade, followed by the FTD version ( ‘ELVIS - As Recorded At Boston Garden '71’) and now most recently as the budget ‘MRS Camden’ ‘DES stereo’ version.
- - For some reason I missed out on their earlier 2021 MRS release.

As Elvis fans we are very lucky that this now 50-year-old cassette soundboard recording was in such good quality, albeit with a lot of tape overload. Both Madison’s ‘One Night Only’ and FTD’s 'Boston Garden '71’ were of very similar audio quality and both in mono.

Back in 2010 I noted, “So while I do agree that the sound is extremely good for a cassette, there is still nothing that can be done to improve the overall original mix & the annoyingly loud backing-vocals, or trumpet, at times”. However a decade later with the invention of DES this is no longer the case - and this all-important 1971 concert really does deserve the ‘DES Stereo’ treatment.

Audio Quality: It’s always tremendous to hear Elvis’ performances in stereo – a mono cassette just doesn’t capture the same power and excitement of experiencing Elvis in concert. Right from the start on this release as the kettle drums kick in (left) and the crowd screams all around you can feel the anticipation.

What did surprise me is that this is the original MRS early 2021 version and is a “vintage” stereo mix. The backing vocalists are centred while the percussion is left channel with James Burton cutting guitar on the right. Nowadays MRS’ Studio D’ engineer would place the backing vocalists on the right channel.

What is most impressive is that on previous mono releases there was way too much tape-overload and nasty distortion at points, with Elvis’ vocal having an intense ‘telephone-line’ type thinness. Here MRS has managed to smooth out the distortion as well as give Elvis’ voice a much richer sound.

Of course in the past the musicians were usually buried behind the most dominant, often distorted instrument whereas now you can hear the separate musicians and backing-vocals far more clearly.
This is a benefit of “DES”, you can extract each instrument and then lower the previous over-powering instrument in the mix and thus enhance the other musicians and vocals.

The Music - Boston Garden Nov 10, 1971 - 57 mins
Personally I am always happier hearing Elvis work a larger tour crowd than the usual Vegas audiences and this is no exception. Elvis always raised himself to a challenge and after the Vegas Summer Season, of 57 shows in a row, he was bound to be more inspired. This November 1971 Tour was also the first time Elvis used J.D Sumner & The Stamps who had just replaced The Imperials.

I am sure anyone who reads EIN will already know this concert and the impressive set-list.

As Rolling Stone journalist Jon Landau wrote.. “What surprised me at the concert was how much I did get involved with Elvis, how much I could relate to his need to be the way he is, and how much sheer artistry and talent manages to pour through the tightly drawn lines of his very stagey production.

… He sings like an angel and moves like a ballerina, and he left me struck dumb. He was far from through, and after some cooler numbers designed to let people settle down, he went into what I thought was the finale, "Suspicious Minds". Here, he did with an up- tempo song what he had earlier done with a slow one; he got everything out of it that is there. It is a beautiful song, the best Presley has done since he stopped making the movie sound track albums and by the time he finished you knew that underneath the control and the lightness of most of the evening's music there stood a man with more natural ability, talent, and soul than I expect to see on the stage at any rock concert.”

On this MRS updated version the previously overloaded James Burton guitar that hampered the exciting kick-off of ‘That’s All Right’ is thankfully lowered in the mix giving you even more of a chance to enjoy the excitement of the 15,500 crowd, “One more time.. yeahhhhh" calls Elvis who is powering through in great form.

Similarly the previous vocal distortion on the exciting ‘Proud Mary’ has been smoothed out and it is far more enjoyable listen – both on headphones and Loud-Speakers.

A terrific ‘You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling’ sounds great in this mix – you can really hear the ambience and excitement of the auditorium - - and that previously annoying overloaded trombone has been reduced in the mix.

And that’s what’s so good, it is still the same exciting concert but sounding so much smoother and less piercing. Its sounds more like a classic vinyl recording than a peak-distorting mono-cassette!

‘Polk Salad Annie’ is an exceptional version where you can hear The Sweets and the audience clapping along with some funky Jerry Scheff bass and Ronnie Tutt percussion. Previously these were all buried behind each other on the mono track whereas now you can feel how all the musicians came together to create this classic.

Even ‘the oldies’ sound much improved. ‘Love Me’ used to be overloaded by the screaming audience and ‘Hound Dog’ was very distorted, both sounding much better here.

Of course the real disappointment is that the delicious ‘How Great Thou Art’ is incomplete as it fades out at 2 minutes. Previously it was rather piercing but with the piano separated out it’s a lovely mix… so all the more shame it cuts out so soon.

Luckily any disappointment disappears with the MRS version of Elvis’ fabulous new single ‘I’m Leavin’ which sounds so much better with piano, guitar, percussion and backing vocals now spread apart. This Boston version is notable for the being the very last time Elvis would sing it until bringing it back to the set-list much later in February 1973.

‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ is also as passionate as ever, with Elvis holding sway across the vast auditorium. Previously there was annoying distortion on this track but with the piano separated, and the over-powering brass lowered in the mix you can hear the intensity of Elvis, the musicians and backing-vocals all coming together to create a masterpiece. The crowd screams in appreciation and Elvis must have felt it too since there is a rare and lovely reprise. Elvis then seems even more absorbed in the lyric as he sings, "Sail on silver girl, your time has come, oh Lord… to shine" and .. "I’m sailing right, right on, right on behind". It is a magic in-concert powerful moment and makes you really want to have been there in this Boston magnificence.

All the more extraordinary is how, without a breath, Elvis keeps the energy level up, pushing straight onto the next song, a very fiery ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’.

‘Love Me Tender’ is nicely done before the workout of ‘Suspicious Minds’ where again MRS have managed to reduce the previous distortion. At the end with some added karate Elvis is down on his knees and begging to the crowd, "Hope these pants don’t rip, Lord have mercy!" You know it was still THE showstopper!

After Elvis gets the house lights turned up he notes, "You’re a fantastic audience, thank you very much. Hope you enjoyed our show tonight folks" and you know he means it.

While this could have been the conclusion (the previous two night’s Elvis has gone straight to C.H.F.I.L) Elvis then adds a delightful ‘Funny How Time Slips Away’. On earlier releases everything was buried behind the mono centre track but this sounds delightful in its lighter ambiance and being able to hear the contribution of all the musicians and orchestra. Elvis sings, "Gotta go now" and you can hear the crowd shriek "NO!" back at him. These are all nice touches, which add to the enjoyment and help demonstrate the appreciation of a non-casino crowd.

With ‘Can’t Help Falling’ Elvis is out and heading home – it all seems a little unbelievable that Elvis could have created such a historic Boston legacy within a tightly-packed one hour.

EIN Verdict: With this audio upgrade MRS has produced the best version of this classic concert so far. This version proves that ‘DES” can not only be used for creating ‘fake stereo’ but also for removing peak-distortion that in the past could ruin your overall enjoyment.

Since RCA never recorded any 1971 on-tour shows professionally this is Elvis truly at his 1971 best. While I now regret missing out on the original MRS release, these budget ‘MRS Camden’ versions are a clever way to complete your collection – and with an 8-page booklet it's more comprehensive than one might expect.

A final word from Jon Landau, “Climaxing with a fine version of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" Elvis extended his arms so that the fiery orange formed that half-sun underneath him and he once again basked in his glory. For one of the few times in my recent memory, I had witnessed a performance that had left me completely satisfied.”

‘Elvis Amarillo Texas - 1974’ MRS Review: MRS recently released ‘Elvis Amarillo Texas - On Tour 1974’ as a single Deluxe CD pack as well as 2LP Gatefold vinyl.
Early in his summer tour of 1974, Elvis Presley made a memorable stop in Amarillo, Texas. On June 19th, he performed for one night only at the Civic Auditorium, captivating the audience with his legendary stage presence.
This show has been newly remastered in STEREO and includes rare photographs and memorabilia that sets the scene for this event.
The front cover image is stunning and certainly raises ones hopes for an impressive performance.
Elvis performed an amazing 25 concerts in just eighteen days, he was still working hard for the money and his loving fans.
‘Live On Stage In Memphis’ was recorded only 3 months earlier so there isn’t a big change of set-list but this night Elvis added the extras ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and ‘Big Boss Man’.
EIN's Piers Beagley checks this stunning MRS audio upgrade and re-discovers Elvis' best concert from his June 1974 tour.

'ELVIS: The Raging Tiger Closing Night 1974’ MRS CD Review: From the MRS label ‘Las Vegas ‘The Raging Tiger’ Closing Night 1974’ is a 2CD Deluxe-Set and 2LP Gatefold Vinyl release. The set features one of Elvis’ most controversial performances recorded during his closing night at the Las Vegas Hilton, on the Sept 2nd 1974. This important performance has never been officially released but it is now remastered and mixed into STEREO.
This was an incredibly emotional show for Elvis with his emotions poured into songs such as It's Midnight, You Gave Me A Mountain and If You Talk In Your Sleep while at the same time showing real anger at the recent negative press.
There was also unique versions of Bringing It Back and Aubrey where Elvis joined in on VOICE's performance
There is so much to absorb in this emotional roller-coaster ride of a performance, and some of it is indeed very confronting. However it is a truly passion filled show and Elvis’ emotional soul was open and he wanted to share it with his loving audience....

'From ELVIS Recorded Live In Memphis 1974' MRS CD Review: From the MRS label 'From Elvis In Memphis – Recorded Live 1974' is out as a double-CD Deluxe set and also as a 2LP Gatefold sleeve.
The 2CD set includes two performances from his hometown of Memphis. The first concert is from March 16 1974 (Afternoon Show), marking his return after 13 years, followed by a second concert on March 17 1974 (Evening Show).
At his Memphis 'Opening Night' Elvis put on one of the tightest and most impressive concerts for the whole of 1974. And in newly remastered 'MRS STEREO' this is a real delight.
This Sunday night March 17 concert neatly captures a different mood with Elvis up for some fun and so it compares rather nicely to the total professionalism of Elvis’ stunning opening performance.
Both shows remastered in 2025 by MRS to "true Stereo" sound as if they could be RCA Multi-tracks – you will never play any previous versions again if you get to hear these.
Essential for your collection.

'ELVIS: 'Down In The Alley' Opening Night 1974' MRS CD Review: The new MRS single-CD deluxe-set features Elvis’ opening night show at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel on 19 August 1974 at the start of his eleventh season, during which he performed an almost completely revamped set-list.
At no 1970 concert did Elvis perform so many unique songs, ‘Down In The Alley’, ‘Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues’ and debuts of ‘Promised Land’, ‘It’s Midnight’ plus ‘If You Talk In Your Sleep’ and ‘If You Love Me (Let Me Know)’. ‘Softly As I Leave You’, ‘My Baby Left Me’ and ‘I'm Leavin'’ - It was an astounding Opening Night.
For the first time ever, the original recording has been newly remastered and mixed into STEREO.
The original cassette always sounded rather dull and muffled whereas live concerts are a visceral, exciting experience. They are spatial and energising which is not recreated via mono recordings, they need to be STEREO and dynamic. These MRS concert releases help drag the dullness into the light.

'ELVIS: Live At Houston Astrodome 1974' MRS CD Review: The new MRS single-CD deluxe-set contains Elvis’ major performance at one of the USA's biggest venues, The Astrodome, and for the first time ever presented in STEREO.
The Houston show is a truly important performance since there was no room for the usual orchestra and so it was just Elvis, the TCB band and backing-vocalists.
This made the concert completely unique with Elvis not only having to be truly focussed – there were no kiss-the-girls interruptions – and the whole team had to produce a powerful sound, big enough to impress the distant crowd in the massive stadium.

Of all the performances that MRS have released in STEREO this Houston concert is one of the most impressive, demonstrating the power of Elvis and the band in concert that had been previously hidden in the earlier lesser quality mono releases.

MRS CAMDEN ‘Made in Germany – Private Recordings’ Review: From the budget MRS Camden label this CD features personal recordings taken from a recently discovered tape made by Elvis while stationed with the US army in Germany in January 1959.
What is so fascinating about this period is that, although The Colonel stopped Elvis recording anything professionally in Germany, Elvis was still bursting with music. Elvis was jamming at home on multiple songs that he would later record professionally for RCA. These original jams on songs such as ‘His Hand In Mine’, ‘Like A Baby’, ’I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen’, ‘I Will Be True’, ‘Danny Boy’, ‘The Fool’ even an attempt at ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight’ plus ‘There’s No Tomorrow’ are totally enthralling.
Historians always talk about Elvis vast knowledge of every musical genre and here is proof of his influences.
A lot of fans, including myself, would truly appreciate a “Best Of” these home-recordings and just in time for Christmas 2024 the budget label ‘MRS Camden’ have done exactly that.

'ELVIS: At 3am Sahara Tahoe 1973' MRS CD Review: This Deluxe 2CD set features two shows from Elvis’ May 1973 engagement at The Sahara Tahoe in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Included is a rare 3am charity performance as well as the midnight show from the previous night.
Both shows for the first time are presented in stereo.
The accompanying booklet includes memorabilia and rare photos along with liner notes that set the scene.
Despite having to perform three concerts in the one evening, Elvis was feeling inspired and although it was 3am he still treated the ‘Mother’s Day’ benefit more like a Closing Night performance. Elvis was in extremely jovial spirits, teasing the band and adding some crazy lyrics. He also added unique live versions of ‘My Way’, ‘Faded Love’, ‘Funny How Time Slips Away’ and a rare ‘It’s Over’.
With the cassette hiss removed, the musicians and backing-vocals in stereo and Elvis’ vocal raised to the correct level, this MRS release sounds just like an RCA recorded multi-track and is the best representation of the “real Elvis” live in 1973 that fans could hope for.

'ELVIS: Closing Night 1972' MRS CD Review: This MRS 2CD set features a live performance recorded on 4 September 1972,during the last night of Elvis’ seventh engagement in Las Vegas at the Hilton Hotel.
The show is presented in stereo. A bonus CD of remastered rehearsal tracks, recorded days before the engagement began, is also included.
While Elvis is perhaps not as full-blast as on the 'Opening Night' here MRS's 'Studio D' engineer has done some brilliant audio remastering, removing the bad cassette-tape-hiss of all previous releases. Emphasising the instrumentation with this "Stereo remaster" not only elevates Elvis and the musicians' performance but also places the listener right into the audience.
This night Elvis rocked into 'Johnny B. Goode' and even performed the golden-oldies with some real respect.
It's a great show.

'ELVIS: Opening Night 1972' MRS CD Review: Elvis’ first 1972 Las Vegas season ran from January 26th through February 23rd, 1972. Elvis was in great shape both physically and vocally, and he was once again serious about performing.
While a large number of fans think that Elvis started losing inspiration and impetus after the power-year of 1970, his rejuvenation of his first live performances in 1972 demonstrate another more positive aspect. Introducing the new songs 'You Gave Me A Mountain', ‘I'll Remember You’ , 'A Big Hunk O'Love' and the brilliant 'An American Trilogy' would enrich Elvis’ live shows for the rest of his career. So while Elvis collectors may have heard the bootleg recording multiple times before, you have never truly enjoyed this concert, or appreciated its importance, until this sessional MRS audio Remaster.
Elvis was in superb form and this set-list - along with the new MRS audio remaster - is truly sensational.

MRS presents 'ELVIS: September 1970' in-depth Review: MRS's new 2CD deluxe set features a new previously unreleased soundboard from 2nd September 1970 and a bonus CD that covers the final rehearsals at the International Hotel on August 10th before the start of the summer festival.
In September 1970 Elvis was still excited to be back on stage and performing for his fans. Newspaper reviews of his concerts wrote about the excitement and fun Elvis was having back on-stage.
This brand-new previously unknown concert captures Elvis feeling 'loose-as-a-goose' yet still performing with a real intensity. His live versions of ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' were truly exceptional this evening.
The accompanying 40-page booklet of the CD deluxe includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.

'Summer Festival 1970: The Rehearsals' In-Depth Review: MRS's new triple-CD set 'Summer Festival 1970: The Rehearsals' was released last month.
The CDs contain rehearsal highlights from one of the most memorable periods in Elvis’ career - his captivating performances at The International Hotel Las Vegas in the summer of 1970. With remastered audio and accompanying 40-page booklet the package is aimed at the general public, plus Elvis collectors who could not afford last year's FTD fan club deluxe release.
Elvis’ glorious rehearsals on 24 July at RCA studios are the real key to this release. Twenty seven classic performances and with Elvis not only rehearsing the familiar songs we would all come to know from the MGM movie but also songs he would never perform on stage.

MRS 'Elvis:Back In Living Stereo' in-depth Review: The new MRS set contains 6CDs of essential 1960-1962 master recordings, plus rare alternate outtakes - including plenty of officially unreleased material - and all of the personal home recordings Elvis made during the 1960s.
The 100 page book, with text from Gordon Minto, includes rare unpublished documents and photographs, supported by a comprehensive text discussing each of Elvis’ RCA studio (non-film) recording sessions held during 1960-62.
Musically the packed cds - over seven hours - present a stunning look at Elvis recording in the early sixties before the shine wore off. The "Master" sessions nicely contrast with the looser "Outtakes" discs and with Elvis getting even more uninhibited on the Home Recordings. - Very unihibited with a certain Nancy Sharpe!

But with so much thrown into the mix, and some tracks in poor audio quality, have MRS packed "Too Much" into the one release.
