And if FTD can release such a disaster show as the one featured on New Haven '76, it really would be incredible if they wont release Elvis In Concert eventually. But to borrow your own words, I wouldn't get started on that either...<br /><br />Mike, thank you for your kind words, they really made me happy! The book will be ready by the end of February, if all goes according to plan...Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253626531289651309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-52052927464648667802011-01-31T18:52:08.750+01:002011-01-31T18:52:08.750+01:00Your Elvis In Concert FTD sounds great, Troy!Your Elvis In Concert FTD sounds great, Troy!Mårtenbrothernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-7897173042051565082011-01-31T01:04:49.964+01:002011-01-31T01:04:49.964+01:00I'm right there with you guys about the PROMIS...I'm right there with you guys about the PROMISED LAND album!! I hope that one shows up soon!!<br /><br />I also agree that it is about time that FTD releases the MADISON SQUARE GARDEN show in the "Classic Albums" series as well. The original MSG album could CERTAINLY use an audio upgrade, and if coupled with the AFTERNOON IN THE GARDEN show, would make a <b>DYNAMITE</b> release in my opinion!!<br /><br />Thanks Thomas for your FANTASTIC blog!!! Always look forward to the next article!!<br /><br />TCB!<br />Mike<br /><br />P.S.

I would add a few more, all of the live concert variety.<br /><br />* <i>On Stage-February 1970</i><br />* <i>Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden</i> (I really want a new mix on this one, as was done with Memphis '74, though that seems to buck the trend of the more recent Classic Album releases; maybe a new mix could be disc 2...though the afternoon show would be the more likely choice. I like the evening show better, but the mix is better on the afternoon show)<br />* <i>Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite</i> (rounded out with the rehearsal show and all available takes of the post-concert songs)<br /><br />I could see both MSG and the Aloha concepts above being Sony Legacy releases (though hopefully not simply paired together), and of course On Stage has already received that treatment.<br /><br />Regarding <i>Elvis In Concert</i>, I wish they would just toss out the original album in this one instance and just give the complete versions of both shows. Come to think of it, <i>Elvis As Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis</i> is a precedent for this, too.<br /><br />It is more likely, of course, that the original album would be Disc 1 while Rapid City would be Disc 2. Maybe they could release Omaha as a separate, follow-up release. This is assuming they bother with an <i>Elvis In Concert</i> CD re-release at all. I personally feel this material is much underrated, but I don't want to get started on that...Troy Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10778360977396765591noreply@blogger.com
