The album was certified Gold on August 4, 1972, Platinum on May 20, 1988, double-Platinum on March 27, 1992, and triple-Platinum on July 15, 1999, by the RIAA.[6] Along with Aloha from Hawaii: Via Satellite it ranked as the one of the best selling live albums of the 1970s.

Content

The entire set was issued on a single LP, and appeared at retail in swift fashion, about three weeks after the concert. Elvis' subsequent full-priced album would be another complete live concert recording -- with some song repetition -- this time in Honolulu: Aloha from Hawaii: Via Satellite.

The concert included on the 1972 New York album was the evening show on June 10th. RCA Records also captured the afternoon performance, but except for "I Can't Stop Loving You," which appeared on the 1977 compilation, Welcome to My World, and "I'll Remember You" and "Reconsider Baby" on 1983's Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 3, the entire set remained unreleased until 1997's An Afternoon in the Garden.

Interestingly, 1970s Presley drummer Ronnie Tutt wrongly claimed in a 2009 interview for the BBC documentary Elvis in Vegas that Colonel Tom Parker, Presley's manager, sped up the mixes so that more tracks could be on the 1972 live album, increasing the publishing royalties.[7]

Reissues

On November 13, 2012, RCA/Legacy re-released the live concert album on two vinyl discs in the same format as Aloha From Hawaii: Via Satellite and Elvis In Concert live concert albums. In 2013, RCA/Legacy, through HDTracks.com, released a high-resolution remastering of the concert in 24-bit/96 kHz.

[ru] Elvis: As Recorded at Madison Square Garden

Elvis: As Recorded at Madison Square Garden (с англ. — «Элвис: В записи с Мэдисон-Сквер-Гарден») — третий концертный альбом американского певца Элвиса Пресли, вышедший в 1972 году. Существенное отличие данного альбома от предыдущих концертных записей Пресли в том, что на пластинку целиком вошёл весь концерт; кроме того, он был записан не в Лас-Вегасе, а в Нью-Йорке. Пластинка заняла 11-е место в американском хит-параде.
