what a terrible title for a cd..........going to do his reputation a lot of good

[rickb]

I wouldn't buy it on principle due to the title

[Teddy]

Presumably the title comes from his well known ramble about not being "strung out"?

You like hearing Elvis basically self-destruct in front of 2,000 fans and embarass himself and Priscilla and Sheila Ryan? I'm just...I have no words...

The 'strung out' title will not do anything to help Elvis's reputation...what the **** are these record companies thinking when they title these things? Geez!

I think its a great title... its diffrent!

I totally disagree with this....it's a very disrespectful title.

I would say that Elvis' reputation is in not at risk of damage from a boot label. People who would want to buy this are either going to be familiar with the material or at least the kind of condition he was in his last few years. Those to whom this would be revelatory are probably not going to see or hear about this anywhere.

How many people have had their image of Elvis shattered by the import Elvis' Greatest Sh!t from Dog Vomit Records?

These boots are not from proper record companies with any kind of mass distribution or advertising. They exist like FTD does for the hardcore fans (but more so) and most have to go out of their way a bit to purchase them.

I wouldn't worry too much about this.

Read Desert Storm Shattering Of A myth, it my friend will answer any questions you got about the show.
Go to The Kings Court ask Vegas 74 aka Dennis Barry what he thought of the show that night as he was there.
Sad elvis talking wiht his audience on stage people just say ah hes just rambling on and on that means hes strung out.

nothing ..no crappy boots or whatever will ever tarnish elviis reputation...they have been trying to do that for over 30 years...and they have failed..miserably..elvis will always be loved no matter what forever the king

I'm sure that the actual show was fine but Elvis's actions onstage towards the audience are/were unacceptable - no performer worth the money that they were paying Elvis should have done what he did that night - there's no reason to sugarcoat it.

And, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't trust Darrin Lee any farther than I can throw him or his books.

After reading his book about the CBS special (out of curiosity), it just confirmed what I thought about his writings in the first place. He's just trying to make people think that there wasn't a darn thing wrong with Elvis either on 9/2/74 or 6/19/77 and 6/21/77 - when it's painfully obvious that things were going downhill as early as 1973/1974 and 1977. Darrin Lee is living in a fantasy world.

I agree Tony, things were getting worse as the years progressed, but that DOES NOT mean the Closing Show from 9.2.1974 was a bad show.
What was unaccpetable about elvis telling the audience the rumors of him on heroin were untrue!
