Follow That Dream - Elvis Presley Soundboard Concerts on CD
Recorded at the Mixing Desk - Soundboard Mono CDs
A soundboard recording is the tape recording from the concert mixing desk. Every concert has a mixing desk where they control the sound. Even today they will record concerts from the mixing desk – Most of Elvis' concerts were recorded this way. The tapes were often used to give new band members an idea of previous shows. They were never intended for release. The are almost always mono.

|
|

America is a concert soundboard featuring the complete show from Omaha, April 22, 1976. This CD will also contain two tracks recorded during the last show of the tour in Spokane. Also released at the same time are; Elvis Sings Memphis Tennessee (The Lost Album) a 2 CD version in the FTD Classic Album Series and Love Letters From Elvis a 2 CD Special Edition again in the Classic Album Series. | |
Tucson '76 FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Tucson 76 is the 6th FTD release and is a soundboard recording of Elvis Presley's concert in Tucson, Arizona on June 1st, 1976. This concert was chosen because Elvis is in very good voice, he's in a good mood. This concert will surprise many of you. Many of the usual songs from that period are there, but there's also a great rockin' Burning Love (with a long finale), followed by the first surprise of the evening, an excellent version of Help Me Make It Through The Night. After that Elvis asks: 'what do you wanna hear?', and people shout all kinds of song-titles, and Danny Boy is suggested. And then Elvis himself starts doing this song. At first both Elvis and the band seem a little unsure, but they get more and more into the song, and it reaches a beautiful full climax. | |
Dixieland Rocks FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Dixieland Rocks will blow you away! The sound is awesome with crisp, clear vocals and Elvis is in fine form, both vocally and in his interplay with the band and the very receptive audience. At this stage of his career (1975) some of his concerts were rushed and lacked a little polish, but not his concerts in Murfeesboro, Tennessee on May 6 and 7. | |
Summer Festival - August 11, 1972 Concert Soundboard |
|
|
 |
Summer Festival contains a complete soundboard recording of Elvis' show at the Las Vegas Hilton on August 11, 1972. Plus some bonus tracks. This is for me a REAL pleasure to get a soundboard release from this summer in Las Vegas with enough 'bonus songs' to fill the running time to nearly 74 minutes AND represent Elvis' repertoire during this season. The representation here varies from the good to very good category, with several songs pretty excellent. Therefore even before I listen to the CD, I expected to be in for a treat ... | |
It's Midnight FTD CD |
|
|
 |
It's Midnight is a soundboard recording of Elvis Presley live at the Las Vegas Hilton, August 24, 1974 - Midnight Show. Elvis Presley's shows in August 1974 were very long, and RCA's tapes are generally incomplete. FTD have selected this show because of Elvis' outstanding performance. The tape runs out after 'If You Talk In Your Sleep' and we have chosen to fill up the CD with the ending of the August 29 Dinner show, mainly to feature the ultra rare 'Early Morning Rain' and create a sense of a complete show. It's Midnight is a mono recording. | |
An American Trilogy FTD CD |
|
|
 |
An American Trilogy contains Las Vegas Concert Recordings from the January/February 1972 Engagement. This quarter's regular 5" digipack release covers Elvis’ engagement at The Las Vegas Hilton in January-February, 1972. RCA did not record entire shows, and several of the new songs Elvis had added to his shows were only recorded once. The consequence is that the main body of the CD – the RCA recordings – feature several previously released versions. | |
Big Boss Man FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Big Boss Man contains a concert soundboard recording from Elvis' March 1975 dinner show engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton. Straight away let me tell you that this midnight show was a top show with great mixture of songs. The opening 2001 (thankfully at least here) sounds awful because the soundboard mix hadn't yet been adjusted. This continues through to the start of See See Rider until finally we can hear Elvis & orchestra properly. Elvis starts quite well and soon crazy fans are heard clamouring for his attentions. | |
Unchained Melody FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Unchained Melody is a soundboard recording from an Elvis concert in Charlotte, North Carolina on February 20, 1977. Includes live versions of Moody Blue, Love Letters and Where No One Stands Alone. This is quite a listenable CD and one I'll be playing a few times once I've swapped to a better sounding version of track 18! (A pity as the actual sound image sounds better than on bootlegs! A reminder of the FTD So High problem once again.) Could have enjoyed a few extra tracks as well but it's a good CD similar to Spring Tours, but it most certainly does represent Elvis during this tour and well worth having in your collection. | |
I Found My Thrill FTD CD |
|
|
 |
I Found My Thrill represents the first official representation of Elvis' Winter Jan/Feb 1974 Las Vegas season. Here we find Elvis fresh and with a new repertoire, which surprisingly includes two 1970 standards Sweet Caroline and You've Lost That Loving Feeling as well as Polk Salad Annie. Well before this CD ever came out fans were asking Ernst for this CD and Ernst has included as much as possible from this season. | |
Southern Nights - 1975 Soundboard FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Southern Nights is a live compilation from the Spring Tours of 1975 and a companion set to 'Dixieland Rocks'.'I found that including the dialogue and one-liners, they really represent 30 tracks on this CD. With a couple of lost opportunities here I'd still rate it as 8/10 and a very worthwhile purchase ... this way your really getting tremendous 'highlights' together! Buy it now and be surprised! | |
Closing Night FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Closing Night is a soundboard recording of Elvis' show at the Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas September 3, 1973. The first seven songs are recorded at the Dinner show the same day. | |
The Impossible Dream FTD CD |
|
|
 |
The Impossible Dream captures Elvis Presley at the start of his fourth Las Vegas season beginning on January 26th 1971 and marks the first time RCA/BMG/FTD have officially released live recordings from this year ... Overall it is a short and satisfying show, with a few songs introduced live for the first time alongside some excellent bonus songs. It may not be Elvis at his absolute best, but certainly a worthy addition to any fan's collection. | |
Takin' Tahoe Tonight! FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Takin' Tahoe Tonight is a soundboard recording of Elvis Presley's concert at the 'High Sierra Theatre' at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel, Nevada at 3AM on May 13, 1973. The bonus songs are from the midnight show the same night. Recommended listening. While a few bootlegs do capture Elvis during this period, RCA realised that Elvis was not performing at ‘full blast’ and until now no concert from this period has ever been released. So this new FTD CD is a real first. | |
Dinner At Eight FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Dinner At Eight is a sounboard recording of Elvis' dinner show in Las Vegas December 13th, 1975. The tape is different to most of what we call 'soundboards', this concert was recorded on a reel-to reel tape, and not the usual cassette. The show is still in mono though, and there are a few tape problems along the way, but in general it sounds good. | |
Dragon Heart FTD CD |
|
|
 |
Dragon Heart is a soundboard recording of Elvis Presley's concert at Notre Dame Athletic and Convention Center, South Bend, Indiana on October 1, 1974 and contain's three bonus songs - Trying To Get To You, Blue Christmas & All Right, Okay, You Win. | |
