I also happen to have just the right title: "Like a price from another planet!" Also, I too think the footage mentioned is from a local NBC news station, and it is interesting thinking about how much more undiscovered material from other concerts there are out there, filmed by different local TV stations.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253626531289651309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-13638536175765981142009-04-02T13:38:00.000+02:002009-04-02T13:38:00.000+02:00What a great idea doing a documentary on Elvis: Ma...What a great idea doing a documentary on Elvis: Madison Square Garden. But of course, how much material is there?<BR/>(And will there ever be a decent mix of the evening concert?)Mårtenbrothernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-85420001436397181762009-03-30T23:45:00.000+02:002009-03-30T23:45:00.000+02:00What a great find. Too bad they don't give more in...What a great find. Too bad they don't give more information as far as the availability of other footage. I wonder how many other concerts had at least a song or two recorded by a news crew?<BR/><BR/>I checked the <A HREF="http://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/" REL="nofollow">Vanderbilt Television News Archive</A>, which is a pretty extensive catalog of the US's NBC, ABC, and CBS evening news broadcasts going back to 1968. They don't mention the Madision Square Garden show, unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>It was probably a local affiliate, though. Or maybe it was for a non-evening news show.<BR/><BR/>If it's just a song or two, this would make a great bonus feature on the never-to-be-released <I>Elvis On Tour</I> Blu-ray disc.<BR/><BR/>If they have several songs, they could probably make a great documentary, combined with those photos and some of the RCA recordings, of the concerts. They could even flesh it out a bit with press conference snippets. I'd be willing to pay $30 - $40 US for something like that, even if only an hour total.<BR/><BR/>Again, what else are they sitting on?Troy Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10778360977396765591noreply@blogger.com
