Notes: Press note:

By popular demand! For those who missed Fort Baxter's 1997 'Goodbye Memphis' 2 CD, Audionics / Fort Baxter will release in a limited edition the 2 CD-set titled 'The Final Homecoming'.



This release will contain the famous July 5th, 1976 Tour finale as recorded live from the mixing desk in Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis, Tennessee. To achieve the best possible sound quality, Audionics / Fort Baxter worked with 1st generation DAT copies of the original soundboard tapes as originally used for the 1997 release.



The sound was restored in a renowned studio and is a significant improvement over the original release.



As usual, this new release will come in a beautifully designed packaging with a 16-page booklet, containing a selection of live photographs from the July 5th, 1976 Memphis concert as well as informative liner notes.

This 2CD is set for release in September. Don't miss your opportunity to get the ultimate release of that legendary final Memphis show! One of the show highlights is a sensational version of 'That's All Right, Mama'. He sings it with gusto, saying: 'they said he can't do that stuff anymore, by God just watch me!'. He also sings a few lines of 'Jambalaya' as well as a rare-for-the-period 'One Night'. Enjoy!
