Go ahead with those new ideas, duets etc, but also give something back to the dedicated fan who has stayed faithful all these years, by giving us some MSG 72 stuff, ON TOUR releases, better ALOHA cd releases, plus many others im sure .........
I couldn't agree more! The problem is they don't the footage so they can't do anything with it. All they have rights to is the 68 Comeback and outtakes and the Aloha material. It sucks that Time-Warner just sits on the unreleased concert footage KNOWING the fans WANT it badly!:angry:(n)(n):mad:Quote:

Films and recordings are owned by Sony and the studios.
Sony is working more closely with EPE-but they still decide what is done in the end.
My guess is that Time Warner is holding on to the unreleased material as long as they possibly can in order to figure out how to release it and make the most money they can off of it!! :angry:Quote:

Obviously the 40th anniversary of ELVIS ON TOUR wasn't motivation enough for Time Warner to do anything with the footage. Maybe their waiting for the 100th anniversary of EOT instead??? :hmm: :doh:
TCB!

Well I had an idea-they should take advance orders for the outtakes set-telling us how much it will cost, what to expect....how many discs, what the unreleased footage would consist of, rehearsals, dates on the tour, songs etc...and the total running time for the set.Quote:

That way they are covered for what they feel they need in profit thru advance orders, if the fans order.. the project gets released...and eventually released to the public at large which would be good for EPs image.
Any news from Legacy about what would be the follow up to Elvis Country?
My guess was that the original MSG album was going to be the one, but my guess is that one is going to me skiped and Aloha would be the one next year... who knows.
They must ensure they get as much Legacy material [MSG, EIC etc] released as soon as poss to ensure the original fan base are still around to support and enjoy this stuff, if they hold on much longer there wont be any point releasing it ...............
that's true........Quote:

Ithink we all agree and they must all know that we want more on tour , ttwii, msg material , so why the hold up- it is long ovedue , we are tired of the same ol clips and docs.
Im not buying the official stance that nearly all the official/decent stuff has been released already, how much great, jaw dropping stuff gets released on import or boot label that really could have been done on the official label, come on guys, ITS TIME !
As far as live recordings- soundboards, audience recordings I think there is a lot in the vaults...unfortunately thought I do not believe there is anything new as far as studio recordings, probably still plenty of outtakes and snippets of things but no fresh new songs.
I like the soundboards but lets be honest they do sometimes just blend together because of the same song sets......occasionally a really great concert with something new vocally by Elvis makes its way out and that is great. Ernst Jorgenson said in an interview that he was so excited to begin his search thru the vaults but eventually even he got a little tired of hearing his umpteenth version of Suspicious Minds....I love the vocal sound of the original SM, and I love the Live at the International version and the TTWII version but after those dates it kind of blends together.IMO
There "could be" rehearsal recordings and jams that are in private hands and they are holding out for big paydays or they do not want to sell them.
But unless a new discovery of some lost tapes in RCA vaults is found, (doubtful) I would think 99% that no really new new unheard songs are there.
