Elvis Presley, Elvis Live at Madison Square Garden

This has to be one of the world's most exciting live concerts ever performed - by the world's first and biggest superstar. Elvis Presley rocked New York city in June 1972 with four concerts performed at Madison Square Garden. This is the original 1972 release of one the evening concerts. Check out the afteroon show released thirty years later entitled An Afternoon in the Garden.

Probably one of the best concerts that he ever performed. If you were there, the excitment could not be matched even in today's time.

To me, this concert and the 'Live on Stage in Memphis' album from 1974, show that as live performer, on top of being the worlds biggest selling solo performer on record, Elvis was without a shadow of a doubt, the best 'live' performer too.

High energy shows, good reportoire, good backing, fantastic band, good humour and above all - the talent to really kick some.

By today's standards the sound quality is poor (listen to 'An Afternoon in the Garden' for a better take), but above that, this is a great show and I think all who were there will never forget seeing the 'King' at his best.
