Elvis Presley - I'm Leavin' - The Live Comparison Series - Volume Thirteen
Музыка
Recorded in Nashville on 20 May 1971, Elvis wasted no time adding "I'm Leavin" to his set list and was always given a committed performance by Elvis although the tempo of the live versions was slightly quicker than it's studio counterpart. Dropped completely from his set list during 1972, it reemerged the following year but not soon enough for it to be included in the Aloha shows, which is a pity as it would certainly have been a welcome addition. This is even more regrettable considering it's reemergence was just weeks after the shows in Hawaii, in the latter half of the Las Vegas engagement which began just a fortnight after those satellite concerts.
There was almost four and a half years between the first and last live renditions of "I'm Leavin'" by Elvis between July 1971 and December 1975 and in the one hundred plus performances of the song it is impossible to find a poor version, making it sometimes the highlight of some shows.
Not a great deal of difference between versions but still great to hear this superb song sung live.
Version One - 21 August 1971, Midnight Show - Las Vegas Hilton
This early live version is very similar in style to the studio recording
Version Two - 10 November 1971 - The Boston Garden Arena
The last time Elvis would sing the song on stage for almost fifteen months.
This soundboard version is taken from his show in The Boston Garden on 10 November 1971, and is one of that show's highlights. This show was originally released as a much sought after bootleg called 'The Power of Zhazzam' in 1996, but was finally officially released by Sony on the "Follow That Dream" label in 2010 with considerably improved audio quality.
Version Three - 22 February 1973 midnight show - Las Vegas Hilton
Suffering quite badly from a sore throat, Elvis still gives an excellent rendition.
Version Four - 13 May 1973, Midnight Show
A great version with a quite low key beginning
Version Five - 24 August 1974, Midnight Show - Las Vegas Hilton
Version Six - 31 May 1975 , Evening Show - Huntsville, Alabama
The second of only four known 1975 renditions.
Version Seven - 15 December 1975, Closing Show - Las Vegas Hilton
The final live rendition!

I feel so sad when i hear this song, it's like I'm feeling his same sadness. Love It. Thanks for sharing ❤️🇮🇹
This is all in my humble opinion; so any criticisms are welcome. Version One and Two, I agree with you Leon. Version Three, I know how hard it is to perform (when I was an Elvis impersonator) with a sore throat, but still to have the cajones to hit those high notes. That’s why he’s the King, and I’m not. Versions Four through Six were astounding! I can’t believe he performed the way he did this song; especially the way he was in those years! The last version: you could still hear him enunciate the lyrics as clearly as possible! Incredible!!! Thank you Leon for posting these compilations!! They make my day here in Hawai’i!!! Aloha.
Fantastic video and what a cracking song
Simplesmente lindo demais 💕💜💔💔 Obrigada por compartilhar.
Good one Leon !
Hi Leon, I love all the versions, it's hard to pick a favourite but I'm drawn to version 3. Thanks Leon xxx 💝
I liked 2, 3, 7 . Came away feeling this song was better in a recording situation because the nuances are too subtle for live...acoustics.
Very nice. Do you have the relevant dates posted here?

There are both in the video as captions and in the description below the video
Not a bad version in the lot, all sung with conviction.
