Elvis at Madison Square Garden!

 

 

 

LP sro

Elvis As Recorded at Madison Square Garden was perfect coup, releasing the Album one week after Elvis appearances. Because the Entertainment magazines appeared monthly and the fan, while he/she read the concert reports, could listen already to the concert at home. As recordet at Madison Square Garden released June 18th 1972 reached no.11 in the US Charts. In UK released 7/72 the album reached no.3 The album cover from "As recordet at Madison Square Garden" was originally the "Standing Room Only" Cover art. Which should be released somewhere in 1972. On this album, RCA wanted to release studio and live material. Songs like "It`s over" and "You gave me a moutain" were recorded in february 1972(Las Vegas) for this album. But RCA dropped that "project"when the decision was made to record and release Elvis' show at Madison Square Garden. Till August 2002 the album, Elvis As Recorded at Madison Square Garden reached 3X Platinum in the US.

Elvis Presley at Madison Square Garden taken at the Afternoon Show June 1972 Welcome, to the knowledge Base of Elvis at Madison Square Garden in June 1972 marked a milestone in Elvis career. Madison Square Garden itself is a icon and a landmark attraction well known all over the world. By putting together two icons these concerts must have been special

None of Elvis Concerts at the Garden haven been professionally filmed in it`s entry. Never the less thanks to all fans who smuggled their cameras in the MSG to capture these moments at least on 8mm.

I tried to collect all pictures, clippings and footage from Elvis at MSG and present them to the fans. Hope you enjoy the website, leave feedback or subscribe for the newsletter.

Long live the King.

What does the Fans say

After seeing the fabulous press conference he did and then see him transform into Elvis on stage was awesome! That show's what a brilliant entertainer he was,because he was shy and quiet and on stage he was not! He was the best entertainer in the world,and still is...that's a fact! God created him to be that and also to never be matched by anyone EVER

Elvis was magical, electrifying, and just right down exciting. There will NEVER be another like him. He was phenominal then and is just irreplacable today. I'll forever enjoy his music and performances.
