Elvis On Stage (February 1970) - Elvis Presley

Advantages: Great Songs, Great Sound!
Disadvantages: None

...I loved this album! Elvis by the Presleys is a must-have! I love Elvis, but why should I buy this album? I also have a son/daughter who wants to get into Elvis, would this be the right album to buy? Yes, definately! You should buy this album for your son/daughter and yourself as this album is comprised of some of Elvis' best and inspirational songs! You won't regret buying this album, trust me! OK, so what songs ARE on there? There are some great songs on this brilliant album, songs like: If I Can Dream (which was made a duet with a very real Celine Dion and a digitally placed Elvis on the stage of American Idol on the show's chairty special: Idol Gives Back),Bridge Over Troubled Water, Suspicious Minds, My Way, Jailhouse Rock and A Little Less Conversation.

Advantages: Another towering Elvis performance
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...I'm sure you are all aware of the state of Elvis by the mid 1970s.

Advantages: Elvis Presley singing some wonderful music
Disadvantages: The tracks have been released and re-released many times over the years

...People often recall Elvis Presley as the early rock 'n' roller in the mid-1950s, or the less rocking star of some (sometimes) decidedly dodgy movies from the 1960s, or as the Las Vegas singer of the 1970s. One style of music which straddles all of these time periods though is gospel. Elvis was always a great lover of gospel music, and often spent hours singing this type of music with his backing singers in his own private time. Elvis' record company, BMG, have spent the last 29 years (since his death) repackaging his recorded material, and still release many CDs each year, collecting together already released material and unreleased material from the archives (this unreleased music is often distributed through their specialist Elvis label FTD - short for 'Follow That Dream' which was the title of one of Elvis' movies from the 1960s...
