[PiersEIN]

Hi Gang,
Found out a couple of hours ago (but can't find it posted here) that the special MEMPHIS 'Elvis On Tour' Orpheum show did have 15 minutes of unreleased On Tour rehearsal footage.
SIX songs - more than Sanja had seen on bootleg DVD so far.

Security was V V tight to stop people taking any photos or recordings...

Will we see it finally released in 2012!
We can buy it all over again!

Cheers

Do you know the songs that we're being rehearsed? I was hoping for some Richmond footage or something similar to be the unseen footage but it would have been great to see this as well.

No Richmond or on stage live footage.
Sanja told me the following songs and new material was played and only from the rehearsal.
Cattle Call, For The Good Times, See See Rider, Bridge Over Troubled Water and A Big Hunk O' Love

It was the very raw straight ex camera tape footage with heavily distorted vocals (we've seen some on bootlegs, the audio is not good).
It would need major editing to look good on a professional DVD.

Great footage. Outstanding version of Sweet Sweet Spirit.
