Thanks for the link susan ...
Looks like a great book and "Elvis in '75" is certainly one of my fav periods of Elvis "LIVE" on stage.
I highly recommend any fan to checkout the Memphis concert from June 10th, the Dallas show on June 8th of 1975, or the May 22nd show in vegas as well.
some pictures from the covers
Thanks for info, looks like a great book!!
Taking Care of BusinessTil we meet you again, may God bless you, Adios.
wow! It looks awesome.
And Elvis looks great in the pictures, especially on the front cover
Thanks!
got that book and it`s awesome
So many never before seen pictures from these shows it`s just great.
Had Sandi on the radio last weekend to help promote the book....she's a terrific lady
I've seen many of the photos that are going in to the book, and I can tell everyone that you don't want to miss out on getting this one!!!!!!
"Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male"
the book looks good and from what we heard of her she seems like a nice lady might have ot get me a copy
i think this is going to be a classic book and highly sought after in a few years.
The May-June-July tours of 1975 were fantastic. Elvis seemed to have so much fun.
And allthough being the first moment where Elvis looked much heavier than normal, he still looked healthy and in shape.
What a shock to see pictures of the december '75 Vegas season, where Elvis looked really bad compared to the spring/summer. And even worse: when Elvis returned to live performing in 1976 he was in an even worse shape.
I will checkout this book for sure, thanks for the link

After receiving and reading my copy of the latest book by Sandy H. Pichon ?Elvis On Tour ?75? released by Praytome Publishing, I couldn?t resist to bringing a few thoughts to paper.
At first glance this seems to be a picture book that has little to offer text wise. How wrong can you be? Sure, there isn?t a lot of text in the book, but the things that are written make you think.
Combined with the pictures, the text as written by Sandy Pichon, plays a movie between your ears. This movie created a new perspective to me about Elvis.
I always saw Elvis on stage as an entity with a band performing for an audience. When Praytome Publishing came up with their DVD releases (Behind the Image & Adrenaline) it changed my way of thinking about Elvis and his band.
Suddenly I could see the entity Elvis and his band, performing for an audience.
Now, with the story provided by Sandy Pichon, I?ll have to change my view again. The way she describes her preparations for every concert, like what to wear or what present to give to Elvis, is stunning.
I never realized what interaction there was between Elvis fans, how they knew each other and how they helped each other. For those who never saw Elvis perform it opens a new world. It?s so different to what we?re used to, past August 1977.
From Elvis untimely death on, every fan was on his own gathering as much as he could to keep it for his own. Sandy Pichon tells you how it was to be a fan when Elvis was still alive. (Can you, for instance, imagine leaving the concert before the show is over?)
Another amazing thing is the way she describes how Elvis reacted to his fans. The fact that he knew and recognized some of them, the way he communicated with them during his concerts, are things I never thought about from a fans perspective.
Suddenly you understand why Elvis never saw an empty seat during his concerts.
It?s also amazing to hear first hand, how Elvis treated his fans when he wasn?t performing on stage. Like I said before, it gives you a different view on Elvis.
The next thing to have a look at, are the pictures used in this book.
First I have to say that the lady responsible for the layout, Regina Wiegand, did a tremendous job. Layout wise, this is by far the best publication by Praytome Publishing.
To be honest I can?t think of any book at all, that comes close to it.
About the pictures that are used in this book I?m not sure what?s more important. Would it be the many unseen pictures or would it be the exceptional quality of them.
Decide for yourself, there are countless pictures in this book. Many of them you?ve never seen before. All pictures are of an unbelievable high quality! They are clean, colorful and they all have the right colors. Many pictures are razor sharp too.
I?m not sure if it?s the right thing to say, but I?ll do it anyway because it?s my honest opinion; This book makes the highly praised Sean Shaver books look like a cheap magazine.
To recapitulate, Sandy Pichon has written a great text that makes you re-think Elvis (not only) in 1975. Regina Wiegand did a tremendous job on the layout and Praytome Publishing gave us breathtaking pictures in an unseen quality.
Mixed together these three ingredients are responsible for the best Elvis concert picture book from the 70s I?ve seen.
If Praytome Publishing continues with this concept of creating an ultimate book on a certain concert or concerts (which I hope they?ll do), this book will be hard to top!
But, for the sake of all Elvis fans I sincerely hope they will!
