   The new release from the Czech Memory Records, "Grand Roulette At The   
   Sahara"is now out. It contains a previously unreleased audience recording of   
   Elvis' May 6, 1973 midnight show. The accompanying photographs in the   
   booklet were taken between February and July 1973. The approximate running   
   time is 56:54 minutes.   
      
   The press release:   
      
   As recorded live in Lake Tahoe, Nevada; at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel showroom,   
   May 6th, 1973 - Midnight show. The forthcoming "Memory Records" label CD   
   release is entitled "Grand Roulette At The Sahara".   
      
   In 1973, Elvis appeared at Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe hotel for the second time   
   since July/August 1971, and his concerts were an even bigger succes this   
   time, with all tickets being sold out in advance. This CD features the   
   previously unreleased Midnight show from May 6th, 1973. It's a rather   
   typical set with no real surprises, but nevertheless Elvis is in fine fettle   
   and gives a strong and entertaining show for an enthusiastic crowd.   
      
   The setlist is fairly similar to "Aloha From Hawaii", with flawless   
   performances of "Steamroller Blues", "You Gave Me A Mountain", "What Now My   
   Love" and "I'll Remember You" being particular highlights. Other strong   
   performances include a haunting "I'm Leavin'", a majestic "Bridge Over   
   Troubled Water" and the surprising addition of "It's Over", just before the   
   show's conclusion. Even if this not the greatest concert ever by 'The King',   
   it is nevertheless much more than just a professional "casino show   
   routine" - it's the world's greatest entertainer running his grand roulette   
   at the Sahara Tahoe hotel.   
      
   This previously unreleased recording was taken from an early generation copy   
   of the original master tape, as recorded by a member of the audience. All   
   tracks were digitally restored for your best possible listening pleasure.   
   All accompanying photographs were taken between February and July 1973.
