The brief use of the SM-57 with windscreen was prompted by continued efforts to curb feedback.
Elvis' bass singer JD Sumner used a Shure sm81 almost exclusively, and I also exclusively use one. I love mine
Ahhh Cool stuff. I am a bass range singer also. Had thyroid cancer with total thyroidectomy. My vocal chords are stapled together now. Lost my highs but my lows are of thunder now. BTW I just ordered an EV 635 N/D-B for my voice. I try out many mics. I wanna try one with no proximity effect so I don't overload the bass. Hence Omni...
He also used an Electro-Voice RE-20 in studio and on stage. You can see it in "Elvis On Tour"
So he used an instrument mic for his vocals???😳
@@campbellmarty36 correct!
Where is a difference to a Shure SM58?
Love this content. My mom actually engraved his electrovoice microphone for the Hawaii concert in 73. Electrovoice was based in my home town of Buchanan, MI. I have always wondered if that microphone was on display anywhere. It would be neat to see.
🎉ELVIS also used the shure 556 "FAT BOY at sun studio
Hey Matt, I don’t know if you still visit this video but I think there is one mic you forgot. I think he used it May 27th 1976 while wearing the V neck jumpsuit. It’s a long, slim microphone with a small windscreen taped on it. You can find pictures of it if you look up that date. Is that basically like the thin, straight mic he used during TTWII rehearsals?
Simple outstanding thank you very much Standing Ovation Encore excellence !
Thank you for making this! It's amazing how you were able to find all this out! Another piece to the puzzle!
Wow,You really know your gear Matt!
Very cool. ⭐🎙️⭐
An excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for and beautifully explained. Thank you from London, UK.
Great job, but the Shure Super 55 was introduced in 2009. In his early years, Elvis used one or some of the many variations of the Shure 55 Unidyne (UNI = unidirectional, DYNE = dynamic) series. These mics were later commonly known as the Fat Elvis mic, since they were bigger models in comparison with the ones used today. In the 40’s, Shure engineer Benjamin Bauer created the 55 models with three impedance variations (55A/55B/55C), with a design inspired by the front grille of the 1939 Cadillac. Later, Shure made a version that substituted them, with a high/medium/low switch on the back, simply called 55. It would also vary in silk color (black, red, or blue). There are at least two known photos that show Elvis on stage with one of these mics. In 1951, Shure started making the 55S, the smaller version of the original Unidyne mics, which Elvis used in diferent occasions.
I’m pretty sure Matt knows his Elvis Info
@@James.ceta14No this video isn't perfect. That's not even MSG and he didnt use an SM57 in MSG anyways.
Hey you did a great job, I was looking exactly for this topic!
I own several of these mics, wasn’t certain on the 68’ Comeback until now (Altec 195A). Thanks for the info!
great job Matt....well researched ... as always...keep up the good work brother....
youre so brilliant 👏
Hey Matt! I think I found a picture of Elvis with a Shure SM58 while wearing the Ladder suit. I’m pretty sure this was during the November engagement in Las Vegas 1970. I don’t think you covered that in the video so I just wanted to tell you. If you have the Iconic Stagewear book from Graceland the picture is in there. I’m a big fan and I found this video very informative. Have a great day! TCB⚡️
Well done!
Excellence I thank you Respect !
Excelent job. Congrats, man!
Elvis also used the Shure SM 81 in concert . It was given to him by JD Sumner. It went for auction a few years back. Google it. You will find the substantiation of my claim.
Great Piece here my friend!! Keep up the Excellent work.
I have one of the EV 10’s so bad ass
The sm57 is the same exact microphone as the sm58 except it doesn’t have a windscreen, so it’s not that surprising to see it used on vocals occasionally
Your video was just what I was looking for. Thanks for that. Did Elvis ever use a wireless Mic?????
He tried one out in August 1970 for that’s the way it is. It didn’t work. So he scrapped it and never used it again.
So he never used one, but he tried to
It wasn’t common technology yet.
Interesting. I also had assumed his main studio mic was the U47.
Thank you for posting this, I’ve been needing to know the different microphones he used during the concert years and such.
He used a shure 556 at sun 🎙
In the original version; That's the Way It Is, Elvis tries to use a radio-microphone, it looks like Shure. Could you tell me what it is?
This is amazing i wish someone would do this with Ray Charles. Think about it. Ray would sing far away from the mic and then would eat it and his dynamic was so amazing. Why was there no feedback. So many questions. Did they have killer compression back then or what
Do you have a video of that?
cool video, but you missed 2 mics in Vegas Jan 1974. Beyerdynamic M160 in both silver and black.
Isn’t that in there?
@@MattStoneAsElvis missed the first one, my apology. You're saying on tour, but he already used two versions black AND silver in January/February 1974 in Las Vegas.
4:11 it’s a SONY correct! But it’s A SONY C-22 FET
thanks for this ! do you know of any mics that look similar to the RE15 but are not as expensive/ rare?
The EV RE10 looks identical, just a slightly flatter top and are cheaper than the RE15.
Do you know what microphone Elvis sang into at the American Music studio sessions with Chips Moman in Memphis in 1969?
Great stuff Matt! Would love to know how these mics stack up but most are hard to come by these days sadly, especially in the UK as EV was never distributed much here
have you managed to get your hands on one ? id love an RE15 but sooo expensive and rare. trying to find something with a similar look but struggling
@@patrickcrombmusicI have collected vintage Elvis mics for years and have many of the models here used by Elvis from 69 to 77. By E.V I have an RE10, 2xRE15's, RE16, RE17, CS15E, and by Shure I have the black and silver 545 unidyne 3, SM53, SM54, SM57 and SM58.
All are great sounding mics, the CS15E is an electret condenser so needs phantom power, the others are all dynamic mics. Out of the all my preference is the RE15, such a nice crisp, bright sound, so I can see why it was Elvis's fave also from 69 to 73 both on stage and in the studio. And before you ask, no, none of my mics are for sale sorry😂😂I was lucky I collected these years ago when they werent so hard to find, and werent crazy prices like they are now, if you can find them.
4:11 It's not the AKG but the Sony Ecm-22P and at 5:20 It's not the AKG D224 but the swedish made Syncron S-10
Is that definitely an SM58 in the rehearsal shot? Body doesn't look tapered. Some great info here. Thanks
I think Elvis used a SM58 live in November of ‘70 as well.
Great job tracking down this info but a correction to your Shure 55 info. The Super 55's (a super cardiod mic) weren't produced until 2010. The Shure 5575LE was a limited edition mic (thus the "LE" designation) and the 75 refers to it being the 75th Anniversary (2014) of the original 55 which was affectionately nicknamed the "Fatboy." These original versions of the 55 were about the size of a grapefruit and were produced from 1939-1950 at which point they gave way to the 55s (the "S" standing for "small").
Actually Elvis Used them in the 1950’s so Elvis did use a super 55
@@James.ceta14 Sorry but you're speaking to a Shure Mic Nerd. Shure did produce a Suipercardioid as early as the 1940's and '50's, however, they were the broadcast models which had a very heavy shockmount on the neck. The only supercardioid small version of the model 55 was produced in 2009 (I mistakenly stated 2010 above) and those were the ones Shure dubbed the Super55. Just google "The Unidyne Story" and you'll find an etire PDF of the history of the Shure 55.
Can you get re 15 mics with a switch
Where did you find the Madison Square Garden photo? Many people do not know that the White Pyramid jumpsuit with matching yellow lined cape, featured of the album
was never worn during his 4 shows at MSG.
That picture isn't from MSG, he's wrong about that one. It's the correct suit but that's a picture from August 1972 in Vegas I think. The microphone and rings are not the same. Look up pictures from the afternoon and evening show (as well as the june 9th show) you will see the mic is different. Also he said it sounded good on the album but that show (june 9th) isn't even one of the two albums anyways. From his explanation, the MSG mic is probably the one he said the windscreen used to be held on with a rubberband because if you look at the pictutes it definetly looks like that.
@@philipd3931 Yeah that LP cover has always been misleading from a jumpsuit standpoint. Lol
@@dnoll lol I know it's the picture from Jacksonville.
Better read your comments. This guy talk too much about nothing with terrible voice.
He knows more then you
