Where Elvis never stood alone
I enjoy exploring all different areas of Elvis' career. With Follow That Dream's recent announcement that Amarillo '77 will be among its June CD releases, I thought this would be a good time to take a look back at the 1977 recordings available to this point. Not including FTD's New Year's Eve audience recording, there have been three key official releases of 1977 concert material in the years since the death of Elvis:
Wild Tiger at The Hilton Volumes 1 and 2

Audionics worked with a DAT copy of an original, rough mix tape 'as recorded at the Coliseum'.

Ed Enoch, the only remaining member of the group, The Stamps, has apparently told a US news service, Times Record News, that the 'Elvis Presley In Concert' show will tour 'Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and Hawaii in 2012'. Both EPE and the previous Australian tour promoter have declined to make any specific statement. And as we are only in May this is of no surprise as if it were the case that the tour is headed our way, negotiations may not be complete or venues not 100% determined. Treat this as a rumour for now!

The Elvis Files Series : Now Seven (7) Huge Volumes

The original planned period for Volume 4 was 1966-1969, but now it will cover 1965-1968. Then the next book Volume 5 will be two years; 1969-1970.

Presley Doesn't Wiggle Any More : but the fans still scream for him non-stop!
We have an 'NME Exclusive article' from Friday March 31, 1961 as a follow-up to our article in honor of the 50th anniversary of Elvis' U.S.S. Arizona Benefit concert in 1961. 'The climax came when he closed with the all-out rocker 'Hound Dog', the signal for the greatest bout of unlimited pandemonium, many of the younger girls going completely berserk! Then came the trickiest part of all - 'Operation Exit Elvis' - to get Presley out of the building before the crowd could tear him apart from sheer adoration. This was executed with all split-second timing of an army manoeuvre. Taking no encores and no final bows, he departed with the speed of a sprinter, racing from stage to a fast car, already moving as the singer got in. The amazing get-away was reminiscent of scenes from gangster films after they have robbed a bank! ...' Original article in PDF and transcribed into text.

Elvis Presley and Arlene Cogan
Arlene Cogan met Elvis when she was 14 in 1957. Her uncle got her into the press conference and front row concert tickets for Elvis' show in Chicago. At the press conference, Elvis noticed her right away and told her to visit him in Memphis. Arlene did a few weeks later and became a part of 'Elvis' gang' along with other teens Frances and Heidi. They hung out at Graceland at the pool and inside, had meals with Vernon and Gladys, went to the roller rink and the fairgrounds and spent Christmas of 1957 with Elvis and his parents. Arlene soon moved to Memphis. Elvis could talk to the girls more than he could with the guys. Elvis would have the three girls up in his room at night kissing and talking and hugging. The were expected not to date anyone and remain virgins. Elvis even had a white panties test where he would literally pull the waistband of their pants out and look to see if their panties were white, and he would know that meant they were still virgins – plus white panties turned Elvis on. Elvis was hurt when the girls grew up and got married and 'left' him.

One sequence of pages of almost full-length close-ups are shots taken rapidly one after the other and give an excellent idea of Elvis in full flow.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
