IMPORTANT: 'Elvis On Tour' release on DVD: (http://www.tcm.com/top/notondvd/) With perfect timing for Elvis Week the Turner Classic Movies website has a list of popular films (not available on dvd) that you can vote for to be produced on DVD. Today 'Elvis on Tour' is on the list at only #92.
1958's 'This Angry Age' staring Anthony Perkins is at number one but with only 6448 votes, Bogart's classic 'The African Queen' is at #2.
'Elvis On Tour' has 1206 votes so far.
If everyone who visits this MB today CLICKS HERE TO VOTE (http://www.tcmdb.com/processors/voteForm.jsp?title=Elvis%20On%20Tour%20(1972)&stid=1206)- we can take 'Elvis On Tour' to the top of the list in one day!
Show MGM that Elvis fans care and really do want to see 'Elvis On Tour' finally released. If we can achieve a stunning set of votes then this will push MGM to release the upgraded 'Elvis On Tour Special Edition' DVD and this will get BMG to finally release the 'Elvis On Tour' CD box-set that Ernst has promised.

Does this mean that if Elvis On tour gets to #1 Turner will finally put together a Special Edition DVD like it did with That's the way it is?

Presuming that Elvis fans can show enough enthusiasm - after it IS all about $$$ to Turner - then yes.

Having it at #92 won't get them to put any money into it!!

I don't usually put stock in these kinds of voting systems. We've all tried this before and it's failed. So....I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen....

Someone mentioned on another site that they had heard from a very reliable source (EPE :lol: ) that they were releasing it "sometime next year" but - people tend to forget that Turner and no one else owns the rights to the film.

And I haven't seen any big breaking news announcements on EPE's site to confirm this - nor have I seen it on Turner's site (which I would trust more).

I'm afraid that, with the passing of Todd Morgan at EPE, "Elvis On Tour" will most likely never see the light of day - and if by some miracle it does see a release, it won't be the dream release that we've been wanting because all of us (or most of us) already have the outtakes.

If this movie ever sees the light of day, it'll probably be the standard film (with no upgraded sound/picture) and with the original trailer and nothing more.

I don't think Todd Morgan was ever going to be able to get Turner to release EOT anyway.
If Turner wants to release it they will and if they don't they won't.
The reason they haven't is because to remaster it and put it on DVD they would have to spend money and The special edition of That's the Way it is didn't do very well so Turner doesn't want to spend all the money to have it put on DVD only for it to not sell very well and not make a profit for them.

I think that's kind of a crappy thing for them to do not every DVD that gets released has big sales and a lot of fans want it released That's the Way it is SE premiered on Turner Classic movies before it was released possibly hurting it's sales by doing that.
I do however understand their reason for not releasing it they are in the business to make money not lose money and despite die hard Elvis fans wanting EOT released it probably wouldn't do very good in sales after all how many die hard Elvis fans are there.

I think if they were to release it they need to hurry up they could do interviews with Joe Esposito and the TCB band like they did with TTWII SE and those guy aren't getting any younger.

There's already a thread here (http://www.tcb-world.com/showthread.php?t=29560) about the release of "Elvis On Tour" on DVD....

I said it in that thread, and I'll said it here: I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

Ok, we have managed a hundred or so votes in 24 hours.
BUT if we can make it so 6,500 votes then at least Turner know there are fans willing to shell out hard cash for a new DVD.

It certainly won't be an upgraded version if ALL the supposed Elvis fans can't muster a paltry 6,500 votes!!!

Make sure everyone votes - seriously tell your Elvis friends.

I think I posted the link to this a couple years ago-voting is a good thing it can't hurt.
But in 2001 Turner marketed TTWII SE in a horrible way by showing it first on his TCM -it killed many sales (especially since it had no extras at the time)
Lets hope the vote does make a difference.

Which I am sure is EXACTLY why Turner has hesitated to release EOT on DVD!!! Too bad the problem lies not with the fans wanting EOT, but with the p**s-poor marketing strategy they employed with TTWII-SE!! (n)

There's already a thread about the release of Elvis On Tour here (http://www.tcb-world.com/showthread.php?t=29560).

Mods, can we merge this thread with the other? As a matter of fact, I think a 'sticky' thread would be a better idea.

Not tellin' y'all what to do or how to run these boards but....it would help cut down on repetitive threads.
