Charles Stone - Concert West - Management Three - organisation of the tours: these terms all go together, and without them the Elvis Presley Tours in the 70's would not have been the same.

Thanks Franny. I've never heard of Charles Stone so I don't know if I would be interested in his book or not. He might or might not have a different slant on how things were when Elvis was on tour.

I've heard of him but it wasn't until recently. I think he didn't have much of a personal connection to Elvis but more the Colonel. He was one of those behind the scene guys that put the tours together. I'd be surprised if he really knew Elvis.

Agreed, the book will probably be more slanted in favour of the Colonel :hmm:

finally a book from someone who was there !
not just someone who copy the already writen stuff.

I've heard of Charles Stone over the years

He worked at Concerts West with Jerry Weintraub and Tom Huelett then became a friend of Colonel Parker's
I think Parker was the godfather to his children

He's done a few interviews with Elvis websites over the years
He was mainly responsible for helping Jerry Weintraub and Tom Huelett set up the tours for Elvis and many other artists.

the book will be released in breda !

From what I can gather, Charles worked with Concerts West 'behind the scenes' and was more closely in contact with Parker than Elvis. I don't suspect there will be any 'new revelations in the book other than what we all know already.

Correct, Brian. He never really had any (what we would call) 'close and personal contact' with Elvis so, basically, the book probably won't be anything new for us other than how the tours were arranged/setup and security measures were taken when Elvis was on tour.

[8mmlowa]

yes this is what i expect and hope!

more inside of the tours ,stories and anecdotes

no gossip

more inside of the colonel and his way of working

unpublished pics and documents

and a diffrent perspective from on elvis from someone who was actually there and part of the organisation

[8mmlowa]

what a great and interesting book!(y)
pics and tons of documents combined with great stories.:notworthy

did someone have the book too?
