Elvis Presley On Tour – The Legendary Concert Year of 1972

The year 1972 represents an important chapter in Elvis Presley's remarkable career.

Following his successful return to live performances in 1969, Elvis had established himself as an extraordinary concert performer.

His shows combined the energy of his early rock 'n' roll years with powerful ballads, gospel music and contemporary material.

In April 1972, Elvis embarked on a concert tour across the United States, accompanied by his regular musicians and backing vocalists.

Several performances were professionally filmed for the documentary Elvis On Tour, which was released in cinemas later that year.

The documentary provides a fascinating insight into Elvis' life on the road, capturing both his spectacular stage performances and memorable behind-the-scenes moments.

During these concerts, Elvis was accompanied by an outstanding group of musicians, including guitarist James Burton, drummer Ronnie Tutt, bassist Jerry Scheff and pianist Glen D. Hardin.

Together with the backing vocalists and orchestra, they provided the musical foundation for the legendary Elvis Presley Show.

Standing Room Only Tapes – Volume 2 takes you back to this remarkable period in Elvis' live career.

Four CDs of Historic Live Recordings

This Magnetic Records release features four CDs containing live recordings from various locations during 1972.

The recordings originate from soundboard and multitrack sources, offering listeners an opportunity to experience Elvis' performances from a different perspective.

Soundboard recordings capture audio directly from the concert mixing desk, often providing greater clarity and instrumental detail than traditional audience recordings.

Multitrack recordings allow separately recorded audio channels to be combined into a balanced mix, offering further insight into the individual musical performances.

These recording sources provide an interesting listening experience for collectors who appreciate the musical details of Elvis' live performances.

With four CDs dedicated to his 1972 concert period, this release offers an extensive collection of historic live material.

Standing Room Only – An Important Chapter in Elvis History

The title Standing Room Only refers to an interesting chapter in Elvis Presley's recording history.

Originally conceived as an album project featuring live performances and new studio recordings from 1972, Standing Room Only was never released in its originally planned form.

Nevertheless, the title has remained closely associated with this remarkable period in Elvis' career.

His concerts from 1972 demonstrate his musical versatility, combining energetic rock 'n' roll performances with emotional ballads, gospel music and contemporary songs.

The title Elvis On Tour – Standing Room Only Tapes brings together two important aspects of this period: the legendary concert tours and the historic album project.
