https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Having_Fun_with_Elvis_on_Stage wrote:Having Fun with Elvis on Stage is a 1974 spoken word concert album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley consisting entirely of dialogue and banter, mostly jokes, by Presley between songs during his live concerts, with the songs themselves removed from the recordings.
Quote:The album is unique in Elvis Presley's discography as it does not contain any actual music or songs; it consists entirely of Presley talking between numbers, recorded during live concerts.[1] Presley is frequently heard humming or singing "Well ...", which, during the actual performances, led into songs that were edited out of the recording.[1] Much of the album consists of Presley making jokes, although the recording is devoid of context.
Quote:Many critics felt that the album's material was spliced in a manner lacking continuity and nearly devoid of comprehensibility or humor.[1][3] Mark Deming of AllMusic states that "some have called Having Fun with Elvis on Stage thoroughly unlistenable, but actually it's worse than that; hearing it is like witnessing an auto wreck that somehow plowed into a carnival freak show, leaving onlookers at once too horrified and too baffled to turn away."[3] Nick Greene, a writer for Mental Floss, felt that the material presented on the record is "so incoherent, you don't really get an idea of his stage presence, despite the fact that all the audio comes from his shows."[1]
The whole thing's on YouTube and has been for a decade presumably because the Elvis estate is too embarrassed to copyright strike it:
