Reply With QuoteA live recording wouldnt sell many copies.Not enough interest.The FTD concerts are subpar soundboards.Im not sure if RCA has any professionally recorded shows from 75.I do recommend you get the viva las vegas set just released.

I'm just curious why BMG does not release a new complete live recording from the seventies. I mean not FTD but the main label: BMG. Imagine a complete concert in terrific sound beautiful cover and inside photos of the actual concert. Why don't they do that? After 'Number ones' and 'Second to none' that would be the big deal. Why? Any ideas? I think one show from the 1975 summer tours would be perfect. Which show would you like to hear?

Unfortunately the set lists are so similar that even the fans don't always buy the live shows when released. I personally like to hear the different shows even the soundboards but you are correct they just don't sell enough.Originally Posted by jak
mozzarella, The only unreleased professionally recorded concert I can think of, that I think they have, is some recordings from spring 1972, the rest is "only" soundboards and I guess we`ll have to do with what FTD can come up with regarding those....
Like you, I wish there were more,,,,,,but I don`t think there are...
The Live Shows Don't Sale Too Good and don't made alot money, plus they have to pay every one are on band. and there not alot fans will buy them

Yeah, but as a third part of 'Number Ones' and 'Second To None' it would make trilogy and they could make big merchandise around it just like with the two previous ones. I don' think it wouldn't sell. Elvis sells if they want to. A live recording in professional package would crown the releases of the two mentioned recordings at BMG. This is my humble oppinion. But you may be right unfortunately...
THe last BMG Release Had A Show from 1969, and say it was A show, It's from shows of 21th, DS, MS , that's from anothers thinking , I been working on things about concerts past 15 years now,
RCA/BMG have alot shows most from 1974 era,

Oh, that's good too! You see it doesn't matter which year, but around '74-76' he did good shows. His June shows from 1974 were fantastic! I wish they would release a show from that period. You got any relationships at BMG's Elvis "section'?
Hi Mozzarella,
I don't know if you have it but BMG released "Live in Las Vegas" 4cd book set in 2001. Its fantastic and has a great cross section of Elvis live in Las Vegas with 1956, '69, '70, '72, '74 and '75. I'd really recommend it if you dont have it yet.
Almost all of the bootleg '75 summer shows I've heard are soundboards, so that should be fine for BMG.
yes, but those soundboards are mostly 1-track mono recordings (and many poorly done so).
A good recording of a live-performance is of course multi-track + one mic to the audience. The booklet of the Alternate Aloha release (somewhere late 80's) has a great inside-look story about how they (producers/engineers) come up with a live-album.
I believe they made some 2-track recordings in 1975/1976.
