1971-74-Why a lack of soundboards?

For the last time, there is no place here for bringing up someone's identity and/or posted subjects or positions from another message board on TCB-World. Those involved, end it now.

The original MSG album needs to be re-released in an updated format ... new cover, with pics from the actual show ... and with the songs in the right order this time!

I totally agree with this

I've always hoped that BMG would produce a Special MSG 2 CD box, featuring newly remastered versions of both the Afternoon In The Garden and Live At MSG cd's, including a photo booklet with info regarding the MSG shows, plus include on one of the cd's, the complete Press Conference in upgraded sound.

Only sad thing is....this is only something we can dream for...doubt they'll never do it

First off, Elvis was going to play Vegas in 1977 but not at The Hilton. It was suppose to be between two other venues but which one he was going to be at we will never know that becuase he didn't decide which one. Yes, he didn't like Vegas but he hated The Hilton more because in his mind he was playing in front of the same audience each and every time and that is why he hated Vegas. As for Elvis On Tour concerts, as the rest have said they are waiting on Elvis On Tour to be on DVD before they release those shows. Also, EPE doesn't own Elvis On Tour as I have said many times so it is up to Warner/MGM to release it. As for Afternoon In The Garden, that was release because that was original was suppose to be release and not the evening show. But they went for the evening show for some reason.

The venue would have been the then-new Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus. I meant he was burnt out on the Hilton stage not the city. he loved Vegas altogether.

Here's a thought. Why not just BAN them for doing the same ole thing and causing havoc? It makes perfect sense. That would stop all of the trouble on here instantly. After all you gave me a 3 week ban for just retaliating against their uncalled for sarcasm.

Afternoon In The Garden

Yes, I enjoyed that album, but I was never happy with the mix. Far too "tinny".

Not as bad a mix as the original Live On Stage In Memphis though. Now that was a stinker!

[EP75]

Er, hello? You're one of the "them" !

No I'm the one always taking the hits around here. I just agreed with you on the Ian part. That's al. I wasn't flaming him like you do me. And how did you even know about the "supposed" Easter special? Ian told that at the old 30 #1 Hits forum. Unless he spread it around others. My point in that replay to the moderators was a simple fact that they want the nonsense to stop them ban the people for starting it. If not then more and more members will leave as is the case now.

[Getlo]

What are you talking about?!!

Check the posts again; I did not refer to this. It was rocknroll, whom you previously implied - and again here in this thread - was this Ian person.

And if you knew anything, you would know that the touted Easter TV Special was advertised on albums, singles and RCA catalogues in 1973.

Which means I have known about it since ... 1973. I do not need to read people's posts on forums to know these things, thank you.

Also Ep75 give it a rest now please.

Sorry. I thought it was you who said that.

[Getlo]

Sorry. I thought it was you who said that.

Okay, then. Cool ...

[Sonny]

You don't know what we do or don't do EP75.

When people wanna leave, their choice. We did the fair thing in this case and we wanna leave it as is.

Sonny

[EP75]

The reason they are leaving is due to lack of control over the forums. You say you want peace but you allow the same ones to continue to flame and cause trouble. There's a simple solution to that is all I am saying. But do as you wish. It's your forum. Just trying to help.

[Sonny]

That's the entire problem, people wanting to help too much, instead of just discussing Elvis.

And no more about this in the threads now, please.

Kindest regards,
Sonny

Actaully, that is not totally true. Thomas and Mack Center didn't open until 1983, six years after Elvis passed away.

Elvis had a list different places that was considering performing at. Frank Sinatra even said in an interview that he was trying to get Elvis to play at the Sands but Elvis told Frank that was his place and shouldn't be performing their. He respected Frank and didn't want to performed at a place where another great singer would be at. Other places was Silverbird which was changed from Thunderbird in 1977, Caesar's Palace (which my opinion would of been the most likely choice), and The Marina (which at that time is was one of the newest places in vegas opening in 1975 and became known later as the MGM-Marina Hotel, and then MGM Grand. This is also why one of the rumors was that Elvis was going to play at the MGM Grand. The MGM Grand didn't exist in 1977 but Marina did but it is the same site. The original Marina has been torned down but part of the main building of the MGM Grand is the exact replica of The Marina so if your room is in that part of the building you are staying in what was The Marina.).

I can't understand why RCA is holding back the phenomenal Hampton show. There's not been a live tour show in single disc form since An Afternoon In The Garden back in 1997. You would think by now that they would have released it commercially.

AMEN TO THAT!!!

Considering about 75% of the Hampton show has been released officially via ELVIS ON TOUR and THE LOST PERFORMANCES, you would think that RCA would not have any trouble releasing the audio of the entire show.

Or...could we even be foolish enough to dream of a combined CD/DVD package of the Hampton show???

TCB!

I would love to see the Richmond show released on DVD before Hampton only because it's truly the least seen footage out there.

In a perfect world, all of the footage shot for ELVIS ON TOUR would be released in a special edition package along with the original movie and maybe even an updated version of the film (a la TTWII - SE).

But alas...my guess is that we will just keep dreaming for quite a while yet...

Along with the Richmond show, I would like to see the San Antonio footage as well...I think we've seen even less of that footage thus far!!

TCB!

You've claimed on many occassions, on other Elvis message boards, that you don't even own many Elvis releases to begin with, so why the constant moaning here ???

Double standard ...



How many times must you be schooled that BMG wants to, and hopes to, release the April 1972 "On Tour" concert material in a timed juncture with Warner when they release the DVD ???

For your information King creole I happen to own ALL of EP's albums (both vinyl and CD form) and a few imports/FTD's. So I have no idea where you got that information from.
