Aloha From Hawaii in Top 50 of Greatest Live Albums
If you consider the following this is indeed a very high achievement.
NME cater for today's market, a younger market, in my own personal opinion the majority of the other artists have little to no talent. Heavy metal bands and frankly many I have never even heard of.
For example the top seven are;
10 - Kiss - 'Alive!'
09 - The Ramones - 'It's Alive'
08 - MC5 - 'Kick Out The Jams'
07 - Jay Z - 'Unplugged'
06 - Nirvana - 'Unplugged In New York'
05 - Johnny Cash - 'At Folsom Prison'
04 - Radiohead - 'I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings'
03 - The Who - 'Live At Leeds'
02 - Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 'Live Rust'
01 - Thin Lizzy - 'Live And Dangerous'
Now Johnny Cash is of course the flavor of the month, and very 'in' with everyone, after the 'Walk The Line' movie, and his American Recordings albums, and so he should be, he is one of the few on the list with any talent vocally. But I really could care less about most of the rest. I have a good half dozen Johnny Cash concerts released unofficially that would head any list I prepared before this lot.
But that's just me, the point is that for Elvis to even be listed by people that could even nominate these other artists is a huge achievement. Clearly they have different tastes to me!!! David Troedson

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.
