So, there we go - rockin' through the years in Atlanta, Georgia.

One of my favourite shows from the late 70's has got to be December 31st, 1976 in Pittsburgh. I've got the audience recording on the FTD label which, even though isn't great quality, it still is a treat to listen to. Plus, I've also got 40-minutes worth of footage on DVD from the show and to see Elvis do the roll on his back during his performance of "Hurt" is really something else!

Cheers,

NEA.

Thankyou NEA. (y)

The reason I`m enquiring is because I am thinking of going to America next year on a tour that includes Memphis, Nashville and Atlanta and I wanted to see where Elvis performed while I was there but unfortunately having looked up The Omni in Atlanta it seems that it was imploded in 1997 which is very sad. Yet another Elvis building is gone. In its place is the Phillips Arena.

Can anyone tell me where Elvis stayed whilst in Atlanta?

The wierd thing to me about the Dec 30. Atlanta performance that my birthday is actually on that day, today, and at that particular show the audience sang Happy Birthday to Elvis so that's why it is so special to me. It really is.

It's the 30 december today so...
:) Happy Birthday mozzerella! :)
Lucky you, I can see why that show is special.

Happy Birthday Mozzarella!!! I hope that your day is a special one. :) :cool:

Anybody with any info on Atlanta please give it.

If only I had been older during this time...I'd been at every one of those shows!:)

I live in Georgia just 100 miles south of Atlanta. I see that the info told you that it was imploded. It was getting in bad shape so they had to destory the building. Now he came to Macon several times too and yes the Macon Coliseum still stands right to this day. There is a tribute to Elvis in the building too and has several pictures and a scarf from one of his shows (August 31, 1976). Let me know what you want to know of Atlanta I could tell you. What do you want to know?

I got to see him in 76 at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis and it was great! Now that I have all the Memphis cds I'd have to say he sounded better in 74 and 75 there, all of which are good concerts to listen to.

Here's a link of the Coliseum in Memphis where he played. It has a 360 degree paonorama view of the inside. http://www.midsouthcoliseum.com/

I have this concert on Elvis Presley Crown Series 1976 Part 4 and I love it a great show

Yea, Leroy. Sadly the Omni doesn't stand anymore. It was getting in bad shape and it was old anyway. So they decided to deplode the building and build the Phillips Arena in its place. When you walk into the Phillips Arena you will see several pictures of the Omni and some pictures of Elvis during different dates.

This is very sad news that theOmni doesn't stand anymore.

I feel the same way with Market Square Arena........:'(

The two shows he did in Birhampton, New York are really great..I think they are Unchained Elvis and 2nd Night In Birhampton.

He meant Binghampton, NY. The albums Unchained Elvis and 2nd Night In Binghampton are the albums that are these shows. They are from May 26 and 27, 1977 if I am not mistaken.

Thanks Elvislennon, I misspelled it, sorry about that.

No problem,:cool: :king:

QuotesH91 I have the Atlanta concert on my computer. But i think the footage from the day after is much better, New years Eve in Pittsburgh 1976.
I have this concert on my computer too (y) Here are some screenshots from the concerts :D
