About the New Years Eve 75 show. Yes, it was filmed but not much of it. As a matter of fact from sources that I have a few songs was filmed but only a few seconds worth of each song was filmed. All songs was not filmed and no song is complete. I did see some stills that was posted on a site but can't remember what site. I don't know but the quality is ok but it is better than 8mm so I have to say that it might been filmed by 16mm. But I don't know who filmed it. I don't know what station it was.
jak it does have the original audio to it. For that no one has the complete show in audio format that is in the same quality as the FTD New Years Eve. The audio cd that is out there comes from the 8mm footage because I have that cd of that show. I am saying that who ever spliced this footage together must of used the same audio source for all of it. I believe that one of the angles had to been fillmed completely but all of that angle is not on the video but the audio was used for the splicing of this show. As for being 8mm, I know that it isn't 8mm because it doesn't have the lines, little spots and so on that 8mm film would have. 8mm film gets Scratch up easy and causes these problems.
As Christian M said, on June 1, 1977 in Macon, GA Elvis would sign a contract for a special that would aired in the fall. That special would be filmed during his next tour. He signed that contract in his hotel room in Macon. On the footage of Macon 77 that my friend has that can be seen at the beginning of the footage.
As I have said I am still trying to get these footage of Macon 77, 72 and Atlanta 76. But I haven't seen these guys in a while. I have seen the footage for myself so I know that they have it. I got the stuff they wanted for it but I just haven't seen them.

A friend of mine viewed the film from the Pontiac show from the station's archives.He stated the entire show was completely filmed.He was at the show originally also.He never mentioned the station's name if my memory is correct.The quality of the footage was very high.It's not easy getting a station to release footage it owns.Years ago we tried to get some footage that a local station took of Elvis So Bend show but it was impossible.We were told it usually took a court order for them to release their footage.

I'm sure that EPE would be interested in it and with Sillermans money they could easily acquire the footage, as everything has a price.
I'm always very sceptical about these types of stories, it just makes very little sense for TV stations to hang onto footage that they don't air when they could cash in for a large amount from EPE.
The Sun Never Sets On A Legend...
I have footage of a concert that was televised but in a different region to me. I phoned the tv company it cost me ?25 for a dvd but was worth it. Has anyone thought to just phone and ask
What was the TV station?
How is the footage quality wise?
The Sun Never Sets On A Legend...
We recently did a interview with Joseph Tunzi, and he comments about professional footage shot by TV stations. Take a look:

i should of said it had nothing to do with Elvis, but it was a present for my sister.
We live in England and the programme was on in wales.
She couldnt see it so i phoned the station who showed it ITV it sent me a dvd of the programme that had been on weeks before, i dont know why people havent tried it in america

There is talk going around that NYE 76 was filmed but not completely filmed.
...another question.Your opinion? These photo can be pro. screenshot? : http://elvisconcerts.com/pictures/c740511.htm
May 11, 1974. (8:30pm). Los Angeles, CA.
Those are regular pictures that fans took. It might look like pro screenshots but they was taken by a fan with a camera.
I can rule out 8mm because their is no imperfections in the picture. What I mean imperfection is no scratches, lines and spots that a film would have. I can also rule out professional footage because of the quality of the shot. It looks to good to be that. It might look like a professional screenshot but it is not.
i know that the benefit show from may 75 was definetly taped by camera crews[2] i was at this show, a canadian collector has this , and its nice, only 5 songs were recorded from cc- if you love me, the footage that christian has is only a smidget, as it is at least 10 minutes , where the crew follow E.P. and ask him about his fans in alabama, and he says he loves em[thats it] and the quality is fantastic, this was filmed with 16 mm up close and red sticks his hand over the camera after the comment.and wkb nbc definetly recorded the msg, shows, again not in its entirety, this has bin shown a few times on dateline show with the memphis mafia interviews etc, and will be in th enew tunzi dvd.

Yes, that was filmed but not completely. I would say only 10 minutes was filmed. But maybe more of it exists because that it was a benefit show. NBC didn't record all of the MSG shows. They only recorded only one. That show was the 9th.
elvis lennon says-There is talk going around that NYE 76 was filmed but not completely filmed.
has anybody seen this footage or any more info
EP75 says- This is all possible. I have seen footage of EP's 1975 shows in Huntsville filmed by WHNT 19 news station. But now when they talk about the Huntsville shows, they only use stills of the show but outside footage of him arriving.
how much and how long is this footage and what was the quality like ?
was it close-up footage ? do you know who now has this footage ?

elvis lennon the aft show from the 10th was also filmed first 2 songs , this was one of the video items in THE COLONELS collection, along with footage from L.A. 74, both eve and aft performances, tunzi has seen this in it's entirety, again from hand held 16mm reels.
NYE 76 was filmed but the footage is only about 20 minutes long. The quality is ok from what I have heard. Not the best in the world for professional footage but it is ok. Elvis' face can be made out in the the footage but the other singers faces can't be made out really good. The sound is terrible. It is like the worst audio recording that is available from what I was told. The sound that was in the Civic Center wasn't real good unless you was near the stage. I know a person who went to the NYE 76 show and said that he could hardly make out Elvis singing. He said it was like walking into a place with way to many echoes. Now the footage that we all have is near the stage and the sound is good on some of it. But when you got back further from the stage the worst the sound got. That is how I know about the footage. If this is true that show was professional filmed it isn't worth to have at all. The 8mm footage is much better. What ever station filmed that did do a good job.
memphis 77 - I did hear for a while that the afternoon show of Huntsville was filmed but it was not clear how much of it was filmed. I can believe that LA 74 was fillmed but I have never even seen a little bit of it. I have seen alot of professional footage of Elvis on stage here on the internet.
memphis 77 -how much and what quality is the LA 74 footage (afternoon and evening shows)
do you know if there is any pro-shot footage from 75
especially huntsville 75 ?
