Elvis Presley - Make The World Go Away - 24 July 1970 Rehearsal Version

"Make The World Go Away's" solo August 1970 appearance was during the sixth show of Elvis' third Las Vegas engagement was during the dinner show of show six, on the thirteenth of the month. This show was notable for the handful of songs that were included that had not yet been performed in front of MGM's cameras as they filmed "That's The Way It Is" and some of those songs would be one night only performances or sang on stage by Elvis for the final time. Of course it should be noted that as only twenty four of the fifty nine shows have audio in the public domain, it is still feasible that any of these songs were performed during that time.

"Make The World Go Away" was the third from last song rehearsed by Elvis during his 24 July 1970 rehearsal in RCA's Hollywood studios for the upcoming Las Vegas engagement. The most interesting aspects about this recording are not necessarily the rehearsal of the song but the after discussion with his band members in which he explains quite candidly about the problems he had recording the song. Elvis had recorded the song jut weeks earlier at RCA's studio B during the celebrated "Nashville Marathon". It was recorded on 7 June 1970 and the problems that Elvis is heard discussing would explain why it was one of only four songs recorded at these sessions which required a spliced master, taken in this instance from takes one and three. It would then take it's place as the closing track on his critically acclaimed "Elvis Country" album later that year.

Listen too for Elvis singing one line of Tom Jones' "Delilah" after the discussion as he jokes around with the band members.

As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
