Elvis Presley - Shake A Hand - The Live Comparison Series - Volume Fifty One

Versions 1-3 Asheville, 22-24 July 1975
On 10 March 1975 Elvis entered RCA's Studio C in Hollywood, California and over four days would record the ten songs that would make up his next studio album 'Today'. The album would suffer from an uninspiring, unimaginative front cover which was typical of RCA's lazy attitude towards Elvis' albums in the 70's and the on stage still of Elvis bears no resemblance to the album's content - a real bug bear of mine!!!
Despite the ridiculously poor marketing and publicising of the album by the record company Elvis performed six of the ten tracks live during Spring/Summer 1975 and of those six 'And I Love You So' and 'Fairytale' would become setlist regulars until the end. The albums opening number 'T-R-O-U-B-L-E' would be a crowd favourite throughout the tours of the south in Spring/Summer 75 and the album's closing number 'Green Green Grass of Home' would be sung only three times and all in Las Vegas during 75. The two remaining songs would only be performed in Asheville in July, 'Pieces of my Life' would make it's solo live appearance on 24 July with 'Shake A Hand' performed three times on 22, 23 and 24 July.
Version 4 – Atlanta, 6 June 1976
Elvis always seemed to pull out all the stops with his shows in Atlanta and this one was no different. Tour ending shows were often a little different and during this show, Elvis pulled a rendition of “Shake a Hand” from nowhere.

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