We booked tickets last night and have got excellent seats right at front (row b) right in the middle. Reckon tickets must have just been released because have never been able to get such good seats for GOH

Oi thats me mum you're talking aboot!!

Elvis may not have been a prolific songwriter, but once he sang certain songs they were Elvis songs forever - as with Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes. I still think he was an absolute original - no one like him had appeared before - no one could match his charisma in the early days. He's up there with The Beatles and Dylan; the handful of artists that brought about enormous changes in music,

we continue to sing from the same hymn sheet mr mustard

I loved the tv show of his comeback I think it was 1968 not sure though. He was dressed in Black Leather and he looked fantastic!!!! At his prime I think

For anyone who wants to get into Elvis:

The Sun Sessions, his first post-Sun album and his 68 Comeback show and album are musts.

Also Elvis from Memphis(69- a brilliant album) and his early Vegas shows (70-72)

Id also recommend his work just before the 68 comeback where he did classic cover versions of Big Boss Man(Jimmy Reed), High Heel Sneakers(Tommy Tucker) and also classics like US Male and Guitar Man......those songs around 67-early 68 showed that he was starting to flex his music muscles again.....

Very good recommendations there

Does anyone know if EPE have any plans to release a LEGAL version of Elvis in Concert from 1977?

I know they have always refused to because he is very overweight in it and they don't want him remembered this way, but his voice was still VERY strong i'm sure his fans would love to see this released.

After the success of the 68 Comeback and Aloha from Hawaii dvd's you'd think that it would be a perfect time to give this concert the same treatment.

I know that there are copies you can buy off ebay and so on, but i'd much rather keep my collection first class with a proper release from EPE themselves.

It would be great to see a release with extra footage, perhaps a recollection interview section with the band and fans etc.

Still waiting myself - it will happen - probably for 30th this year good link here for 77 stuff may interest you

Not sure if this URL will work - hope so

He was hot in the black leather.
