Unreleased Footages

[Unchained Melody]

I agree. I think that would be a big seller if they had taped (Professionally) all 4 of the MSG shows...

As for fan footage of concerts getting released officially, sadly it will never happen...just as these guys have said, the general public and even alot of Elvis fans don't care for that type of things ...its indeed very sad to.. ...as i treasure all of the 8mm etc footage I own ! So if it never gets released officially, don't bother me much as i have quiet abit in my collection !

All four shows was not professional filmed at all. Only one show was. Any other footage that is available and is call professional footage is a big lie and you got suckered. Only the June 9 show was professional film and all of the show wasn't film. I know this for the reason that one of my friends who I just met work at MSG at that time and never saw a professional camera there. Only part of the June 9th show was filmed. Plus, there is no soundboard of the June 9th show. So it wouldn't make any sense to release that show being only part of it and no soundboard or RCA recording. So don't expect the release on FTD or RCA of any professional footage of Elvis from 1969 to 1977. The only one that you can expect is TTWII footage, EOT footage and Elvis In Concert footage (If release at all). That is the only things that I can see release. Nothing more.

Thanks for that info ElvisLennin .

Interesting, i never knew any of the MSG shows were filmed professionally. Half the show or not, I would still love to see that footage even if there isn't a soundboard with it !

As for seeing no shows from 69-77, your probably right...but if EOT outtakes is releaed (EVENTUALLY), we might see the complete shows that they filmed for the Elvis On Tour movie ...that would be awesome !

i think at least 2 shows were partly shot with 16mm(?) local tv news cameras
some of the footage has been circulating on the web for a while now.one chap called rob in the u.s claims to have 3 shows (40 mins each) footage
shot by local news tv(unverified by anyone else).

[Unchained Melody]

I've seen some of the fan shots from the MSG shows...like what is on the Star dvd "Elvis On Tour Through My Eyes". That footage is awesome, and it was synched perfect with sound.

TV Cameras were not allowed in MSG after the first show. Only 8mm footage is available and they was filmed by ABC and that is it. As for Rob having three shows of MSG, I wouldn't believe if I was you. Only 8mm footage is available for all of the MSG concerts. Only one show was filmed by 16mm which that was the first show. I have confirmed on all the MSG stuff that is out there.

As for professional film footage you need to know that there is two different kind of professional footage.

1. 16mm film cameras were mostly professionally done but some fans have 16mm cameras too. I have one and at that time it would cost about 70 to 80 dollars for a camera like I got and the film would be about 5 to 15 dollars a roll. Depending on the quality you want it to be in. The best was the highest. So all 16mm footage that is out there of Elvis might say that it is professionally done. It may look like it but it is really not.

2. Some TV stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS use mobile 8mm cameras. Sometimes that footage will be confuse as being professionally done but they are not. Watch the footage that is on Rare Moments of the King. Some MSG footage is on their. Now that footage was filmed by ABC. That footage is classify as being professionally done.

elvispresleyfan1935 - get Rockin' in the Garden. It has for both the June 10th shows over 20 minutes of each show with added RCA recordings. That footage is 8mm. It is great to have. It is not the complete show but some songs are complete. I believe you will enjoy seeing it.

I've not seen or heard of footage from Dallas '75 show . Maybe someone else knows something i don't though.

I have a question. I have read on different forums what people thought were filmed professionaly and what wasn't. My question is this.......How do we know what was filmed pro shot and what was not??? Where are you all getting this info from??? As for me, I am 100% content with 8mm footage. There is alot and I mean alot that is out there in great quality. Also another question if there was only about 20 minutes of the nye show from '76 filmed, why is it the video runs for over 40 minutes?

HI
More of one MSG shows are filmed by what i named in my professional listing footage
For MSG shows 16 mm cameras and video camera are used
16 mm camera used by TV Crews and Jonas Mekas movie director
Video black and white camera on tripod to the left stage
You can easy see the difference betwen 8 mm camera fans and pro 16 mm
16 mm don t need special light for see all details
You can see quality of 16 mm footage from J.Mekas here
