Sometimes the road to action is long and winding - I had a note from 2004 that I have to change the date for "Vegas 08/23/70 MS" to "Vegas 08/23/70 DS"...well, now I did it...the title is still "Ferocious in Vegas", but the sleeves are new. |

October 9th, 2009 |

"California Wave" (Memory) "Live in Vegas" (Show Room) "Something" (Audionics) "Twenty Days & Nights" (Audionics) ...what can I say, Audionics did it again...two piledrivers" Finally, not belonging at my site, I bought the new 2-CD Legacy Edition of "From Elvis in Memphis" - nothing new, really...but, somehow, for some odd reason, I'm more than happy to have it. |
July 25th, 2009 |
"A Change of Mind" (Straight Arrow) - this strange and remarkable show finally in good presentation! |
July 24th,
2009 |
Still summer draught, but at least I can pull "Highlights Vol. 4" (2-CD) out of the hat. |
June 22nd,
2009 |
Three difficult promos:

|
June 10th,
2009 |
37 years ago, Elvis had been on stage for about 15 minutes in New York. Today, I'm happy to add lots of goodies to my collection: Imports: "Rock My Soul" (Madison's swan song) "Setting the Day" (SR) "Stranger in the Crowd" (Audionics) "Las Vegas Attraction Number 1" (Show Room) "The Last Vegas Opening Night (Straight Arrow, 2-CD) "Exceeding All Expectations" (Rainbow Records, 2-CD)
Unpublished: "Vegas 08/06/69 DS" - a good deal of hiss, but the sound is crisper than "The Return of the Tiger Man"
DVD: "Elvis in Concert - Remastered" (Back in Time) - yes, it's really the best we have of In Concert to this date. |
May 28th,
2009 |
I have added a handful of YouTube-links to the "The Original Elvis Tribute 2009"-banner at the front page. It's a relief that a tribute can be more than a sweaty fat guy in ill-fitting pyjamas mumbling exaggerated vibrato in Teddy Bear...The fun on stage spills over in these intimate "I-was-there-shots". Great! |
May 26th,
2009 |
"Today, Tomorrow & Forever" - beautiful promo from BMG China. |
May 17th,
2009 |
The third volume of the "Highlight"-series (2 CD, this time with focus on the 60s). An unpublished with a new edit, a bit upgraded sound and an additional track from 2nd source: "Vegas. 09/02/73 DS". |

2009 |

March 23rd,
2009 |
A small, but interesting update: "April Fool's Dinner" (Southern Comfort/Audionics) |
March 20th,
2009 |
I FINALLY have it...."That's the Way It Is - The Complete Works". So much has been said...and it was hard to believe it could live up to all the appraisal it has received...but's really that good. It's FABULOUS!!! |
March 9th,
2009 |
I don't know why I never did this before, but now I have put the six (and highly interesting) existing songs from Vegas 08/27/69 DS together as an incomplete unpublished concert. I also made new sleeves for "Vegas 09/02/71 DS", "Vegas. 08/20/74 DS" and "Vegas. 08/20/74 MS". |

January
22nd, 2009 |

And as a side note, off this site; today I got the two new Camdens "Sings Hits From His Movies" and "I Got Lucky" - it's funny, how cheapies like these are able to bring back so many memories. |
January
21st, 2009 |
I've been thinking about it for quite some time, and finally I got my own domain for my Elvis Corner. I know I should do something about the scruffy, old design I keep... but that will have to wait until July 32nd... |
January
10th, 2009 |
Newcomers: Countdown To Christmas (Straight Arrow) Extending My Love (EMIXTKC) |

December
2nd, 2008 |

Another great pile of DVDs: Lisa Marie Presley - E True
Story |
November
6th, 2008 |
A few upgraded unpublisheds: "Houston. 03/01/70 AS" - new source replaces the old source, as it is a tad clearer and a bit longer. "Vegas. 08/12/69 DS" - new source replaces the old, as it sounds a little better. "Vegas. 01/30/71 DS" - new source has a little fuller sound - I've kept the old source, as 2nd source. |
November
3rd, 2008 |
A correction of dates: the newly added "High Summer in Blue - Providence. 06/26/76 AS, is really ES, and "Presley Providence - Providence. 06/26/76 ES", is really AS. Consequently, the old "ETCY vol. 82", is ES. |
October
30th, 2008 |
New unpublisheds are scarce these days, and it was a great feeling to welcome a new handful into the collection: "Chicago. 06/17/72 AS" (Better sound than what I have heard before) "Vegas. 02/21/71 MS" (Runs at correct speed, and Elvis is more upfront) "Providence. 06/26/76 AS" (Sound is a little fuller than "ETCY vol. 82") "On the Road to Perfection" (A collection of previously released On Tour rehearsals) And yet another "Atlanta. 12/30/76" source, this time it's a 2 CD-set, and probably the longest runtime so far (over 80 min.): "The King In Concert" (J.D. Records 092). |
October
16th, 2008 |

12th, 2008 |
Another heap of DVDs: Bridge Over Troubled Water '77
And three new CDs: I Was The One (2007 re-issue) |
| March 30th, 2008 | While waiting for promising boots and FTDs, I took the opportunity to change MS to DS and DS to MS for "Vegas. 12/06/75"...which should have been done a long time ago. While I was at it, I gave the art work a fix-up. I also cut off the fake ending of "Vegas. 08/25/74 DS". I made new sleeves, and for once, I'm really pleased with the result :-) |
February
29th, 2008 |

I worked with the sound on my old AR from Baltimore 11/09/71...and the result was more or less identical to the new "An Unforgettable Night in Baltimore" - I made new sleeves anyway. |

And of course the new FTDs: "Live in L.A." (I like the book, even if the number of blurred pictures outnumbers the good pictures by miles). "An American Trilogy" (keep'em coming!!!) "50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong" (the second Elvis album I bought as a kid, and this release is a winner!)

Ohoy there! I'm back! After two months of involuntary absence from cyberspace. My computer has been on endless warranty service, and FINALLY they sent me a completely new computer. Needless to say, I'm up to my neck in catching up, but it's really great to be back. New today: "Rock in Black" (SR Records) 2 CDs. "Elvis Sails 2006" (EFE) Collector's edition of the EP, with US-, German- and Japanese artwork. "The American Way vol. 2 - Some Blue-Eyed Soul" (Southern Comfort) "Vegas Rhythm" (Gravel Road Music) "The '56 Sessions vol. 2" (Fan Club Edition ) DVDs: "Elvis Presley The Sun King" "Inside Roustabout" "Lighting it Up" |
February
23rd, 2007 |
Great update, just in time for the weekend: New unpublisheds: I have added a third source to "Lake Tahoe 05/11/73 D/S", which is more complete than 1st and 2nd sources separately. "Vegas 12/10/76 DS", that runs a couple of minutes longer than "Vegas Remembering". New DVDs: "Rare Footage" volumes 4, 5, 9 & 10 " "Virginia Loves Elvis" (remastered) "Love Coming Down" (2 DVD-set). |
February
15th, 2007 |
New today: "Elvis Live From the USA" (EFE Promo vol.5). A new first source to "South Bend 09/30/74", the old first source is now second source, and the old second source is...in the bin. I have replaced my old source for "Vegas 08/24/74 M/S" - the sound is a bit better compared to the old source. I have removed the last bit of CHFIL, as I think it's lifted from a different show - and I'm not fully convinced that the first bit of CHFIL and Let Me Be There belong here either. I have added a second source (single disc) to "Vegas 12/06/76", which runs a couple of minutes longer than my old, primary source. Finally, "Unchained Melody" (FTD), which is surprisingly good. |
February
3rd,
2007 |
A new unpublished concert: "Vegas 12/05/76 9pm", which runs a little longer than "Presley at the Hilton" and "In Free Fall". I have added a new first source (2 CD) for "Vegas 12/08/76", the old source (2 CD) is now second source. The old sources for "Providence 06/22/74 A/S" and "Vegas 03/27/75 D/S" have been replaced by better sounding sources. |
January
27th, 2007 |
Newcomers: "Let it Be Me" (Audiophile Records), "Red Hot in Vegas" (SA 2006-5-02) and a new unpublished: "Vegas 03/31/75. D/S", which is undoubtedly the same source as "ETCY vol. 39", but the sound is a bit fuller. |
January
13th, 2007 |
A good start to 2007: The FTDs "His Hand in Mine by Elvis" (2 CD) and "Writing For the King" (2 CD). "The '56 Sessions Volume 1" (Dutch fan club issue), "All Shook Up in Long Beach" (no label), "The American Way Volume One" (Southern Comfort Cdone-6969), "The Complete Million Dollar Session" (BBC Radio 2), "Patch it Up" (MxF Records October 2006), "A Holy Rockin' Christmas" (Fans Only FO 001), "Rare Elvis Duets" (Philippean fan club issue), "Since Cincinnati" (re-issue, AJR 080379-2) and "Tiger Man - An Alternate Anthology - volume 5" (EPCD5) DVDs: "Bicentennial 2 - Live in Birmingham & Pittsburgh", "Paternity Suit Uncovered!", "The Ed Sullivan Shows" (three discs), "Once Upon a Time in 1971", "Elvis Live '74 - Murfreesboro, Tennessee" and "Memphis Recording Service Volume 2". |
December
7th, 2006 |
Three new ones today: "Tiger Man - An Alternate Anthology - volume 4", "Elvis Sixties - EFE Promo 12" and "It Is No Secret" (Captain Haddock). |
| December 1st, 2006 | I'm happy to announce a new and more complete source of "Vegas 08/30/73 M/S" and a new and terrific CD-r-collection, called "I Play the Blues". |
November

I was fortunate to get a new DVD-r, called "The Hottest Act in Town" - it consists of mainly EoT-material (raw), but this isn't what makes this DVD so cool; it's a section with November '71 live material, where someone has made a really good job! I get goosebumps all over!!! Btw. I know I should be flattered, not pissed off: First it was "Trying to get to Memphis" (SR Records), then "Second Night" (Graceland Records) and now "Red Hot in Vegas" (Straight Arrow) - I don't mind the bootleg companies borrowing my titles, but wouldn't it be a decent gesture only to drop me a line? |
November
17th, 2006 |
I have added a 2nd source (with a couple of new bits) to "Lake Tahoe 05/11/73 D/S". And I have changed the date for the Detroit '74 concert, from "09/29/74 A/S", to "10/04/74 E/S" - I upgraded sound and edit a bit while I was at it. |
November
9th, 2006 |
A beautiful string of new DVDs: "Bicentennial - Live In Charlotte & Chicago", "Aloha From Sweden", "Blue Hawaii '72", "There's Only One Elvis", "Through My Eyes" (2-DVD), "Never Ending Love", "Elvis Lives: 25th Anniversary Concert" and "Inside G.I. Blues". Two CDs: "50th Anniversary of TV Guide" (It's Elvis Time) and "Aloha From Sweden" (Elvis Unlimited) - this CDs comes along the DVD with the same title - the recording sounds surprisingly good, and it makes me wonder what Elvis' live recordings would have sounded like, if they had been recorded with the technology of today. |
November

2006 |
"Shakin' Up the Great Lakes" (Fort Baxter CS-1003), "Holding Down the Fort" (Madison CWP/15 MS) and "Spinout - The 100% Complete Recording Sessions" (3702-1)...not too bad! |
October 2nd,
2006 |
"Chaos in College Park" (SA 2006-4-02) and two collections with mostly published material...placed among the unpublisheds anyway: "Impolite Elvis" and "Tough Way To Make a Living, Vol. 2". |
August
23rd, 2006 |
Three new unpublisheds: "Vegas 08/20/71 D/S" - sounds a little better than ETCY vol. 2". "Vegas 08/27/74 M/S" - incomplete with multiple cuts BUT, the sound is magnificent...I never listened to this show this way before...and it's captivating! "Vegas 03/28/75 D/S": I have replaced my old 1st source with a slightly better sounding one. |
August
18th, 2006 |
Looks like summer draught is finally over - new today: Boots: "At the Top of the Game" (MEMORY), "Closing Night" (Graceland Records, "Elvis - The Documentaries Part 2" (EFE Promo volume 11), "Elvis Rocks Lincoln" (P.O. 220/Take Off Records), "ABC Rock and Roll - It Was 50 Years Ago Today" (ElvisMatters) and "Gentle on My Mind" (AIE - Chips Moman interview). DVDs: "A Legendary Performer vol. 2", "1st, 2nd and 4ever", "The King Goes Wild", "Live Spirits", "I'll Be There 2" and "Elvis Live in Vegas". Last, but not least, a new unpublished: "Vegas 09/02/72 D/S". |

After six Elvis-free weeks, I'm back home again, and it feels great! Well, not completely Elvis-free...It's been 20 years since I last bought Elvis on vinyl, but my (too expensive) summer leisure this year has been chasing old LPM- and LSP-issues. Great fun! Newcomers in my collection: "I Found My Thrill", "Elvis Presley" and "Clambake" - how can you not love the goodies FTD spoils us with? "Let it Roll" (Madison), "The Sound of Vegas 1" (SR Records), "And I Love You So" (no label), "Going Back in Time" (Straight Arrow) and "The On Tour Interviews" (It's Elvis Time promo). And finally, "A Legendary Performer vol. 1" - a great DVD with rare bits and pieces - I'm looking forward to getting volume 2. |

Football, football, football...and eleven recent bootlegs: "DCDFORU 27 Fan Favorites" (unknown?) |
June
7th,
2006 |
New DVDs: "Chain Reaction", "Live Memories 1970" and "Celluloid Rocks vol. 1 & 2". New bootlegs: "Live at the International" (If) and "Live at the Hilton" (If) |
May 26th, 2006 |
New today: Madison's "One Night Only!" (YES!), "A Thunder in the Night" (SR), "Elvis Presley as the one called Charro!" (JAT), "Return to Splendour-reissue" (Memory) and the first VCD in a long time (it's a good one) "TTWII 08/10/70 O/S". I have also made new sleeves for "Lake Tahoe 05/07/76 M/S", and finally, I have added a compilation called "Tough Way to Make a Living" - it shouldn't really be here as it's mainly RCA- and SB-material, but there are also a couple of unpublished tracks, so I put it here anyway. |
May 26th,
2006 |
....and DONE! I have added track listings to all the PA-unpublisheds. I'm quite happy about it, and I hope that I haven't made too many silly mistakes during endless square-eyed hours in front of my Macintosh. |

Madison does it again! "A Legendary Performer vol. 8" is a delight; a superb packing and a tasteful selection of songs - well done! And the concert DVDs keep rolling in: "Rocking the garden" (Memory/Dragonheart) - as was the case with "Time Warp", there is no improvement when it comes to picture quality - but it's great to have the two shows on one DVD, and they put a lot of effort behind making the picture and sound sync. I have had the set for quite some time, but now I'm glad to add it to my site: "Blue Hawaii Tapes", a 5 CD-set fom the Blue Hawaii sessions, and it's the best set I have of all the Blue Hawaii-material that's been released. By using three different AR-sources, I have made a 2-CD-set of "Vegas 12/15/75 C/S", that runs no less than 91 minutes. The sound quality ranges from very good, to poor. Finally, I have replaced my old source from "Vegas 08/12/69 D/S", with a slightly better sounding one. .... I almost forgot, the new FTDs arrived today: "Made in Memphis" and "Something For Everybody" - I haven't had time to listen to them yet, but I can hardly wait... |
March
11th, 2006 |
A new unpublished: "Vegas 09/04/72 D/S", which is most certainly from the same source as "ETCY vol. 37", but I think this sounds a tad better. I made minor improvements to "Omaha 07/01/74 E/S", and I made new sleeves while I was at it. |
March
4th,
2006 |
Finally! This update has kept me busy for two weeks...it's almost as time consuming as it is fun, fixing up old MCs to CDs, with sleeves and all. New today: Bootlegs: "The Lightning Storm in Florida" (MEMORY), "Better than Ever" (MEMORY), "A Legendary Performer volumes 3 & 4 (a really pleasant surprise), "What Now My Love" (X-Entertainment), "That's All Right Anyway You Do" (no label) and "ETCY vol. 37". Unpublisheds: "Vegas. 08/30/74 M/S" (2 CD), "Dayton. 10/06/74 E/S", "Vegas. 03/18/75 O/S" (a little more complete, with "If You Love Me Let Me Know"), "Uniondale. 07/19/75 E/S", "Vegas. 12/13/75 M/S" and "Chicago. 10/14/76". DVDs: "Memphis Recording Service vol. 1" and "The Echo Will Never Die" (Dutch). |
February
16th, 2006 |
It's not a very common occurence anymore, so I'm more than happy to welcome two completely new unpublisheds to my collection: "Vegas 09/04/70 M/S" - pretty good sound, but incomplete (46 min.) "Lake Tahoe 05/21/74 M/S" - good sound, also incomplete (46 min.) Four tracks have multiple cuts. The recently updated "Vegas 02/23/71 C/S", has gotten another face lift: I have added a new, complete source as 1st source, the old 1st source is now 2nd source...and the old 2nd source is in the bin. A friend of mine did a very good detective job when he pinpoited what we have suspected for quite some time: "Little Sister/Get Back" and "It's Over" do NOT belong to "Vegas 08/17/1 D/S" (Same as "Setting the Standard"). "Little Sister/Get Back" is lifted from "08/21/71 M/S ("The Cisco Kid Strikes Again") and "It's Over" was cut from "Vegas 08/10/71 M/S". |

What would you do without good friends? It's been a busy Elvis week : New boots: "All That I Am" (Mystery Train) - a bit of a surprise, with interesting On Tour interviews that are new, at least to me. The two new EFE Promos: "The Boy From Tupelo Mississippi" and "From Union Avenue to Thomas Street 1954 - 1969". "Happy Days" (No Label) - TTWII rehearsals. "Last Tango in Tahoe" (Fort Baxter) - hmm shouldn't it be "the last tango, but one"? Anyway, it's a real beauty! "Pieces of My Life" (Straight Arrow) - another surprise, they did a good job on that wow-and-flutter. This show is SO good! "Setting the Standard" (SR Records). I read on the Internet that this is a "totally new show, even for collectors" - well, it's not, it's been around for many years. The problem has been the date: is it "08/17/71 D/S" or "08/18/71 D/S"? I have chosen to label it the 18th, but I'm changing it back to the 17th, for the sake of uniformity...although I can't say that I'm positively certain that the 17th is correct. And again, I'm still not convinced that "It's Over" and "Little Sister/Get Back" really belong to the show. The sound is no better than the old A/R, but the DVD that comes along with the CD is pretty neat. "Tucson, Arizona 72" (no label) and finally "The Very Best of the Diamond Anniversary Label) (DAE), which is good if you don't have the other DAE-releases. New DVDs are: "Time Warp" (MEMORY) - the quality may not be better than the old VCD- and VHS-issues, but here we have much of the best audience footage all under one roof...and it's a winner! "Setting the Standard" - the menu system is a little odd, but here's some nice '71 footage. "At the 1962 Seattle World's Fair" - an interesting DVD with behind the scenes footage from the filming of "It Happened at the World's Fair". Unpublisheds: I have added a new source to "Odessa 05/30/76 A/S", which is 1st source, as the sound is slightly fuller compared to the old source. I brushed up the old sleeves a bit. I have received a new "Bloomington 05/27/76", which is in a bit better sound and the edit is more correct - moreover, I added the last tracks from my old 2nd source to it in order to make it complete, and it's now a single CD-set. I gave the old sleeves a bit of a makeover here too.Finally, a sharp-eared friend of mine has found that the first few tracks on "Vegas 08/24/74 M/S" belong to "Vegas 08/24/74 D/S" - the real M/S beginning can of course be found on FTD's "It's Midnight". ...I think this is it :-) |
January
26th, 2006 |
New to "Vegas 02/23/71 C/S" is a more complete second source, with "Heartbreak Hotel" and an uncut "Don't Be Cruel" - The beginning of Blue Suede Shoes is missing though, but it can be found complete on the first source. |
January
16th, 2006 |
Ahhh...I wish they could go on forever...I just got the new goodies from FTD: "Southern Nights" and "Loving You". |
January
15th, 2006 |
The news for today is a new 1st source to "Vegas 03/28/75 D/S", which is more complete than my old source (now 2nd source, in a bit fuller sound). |
January 12th,
2006 |
I was very fortunate to have a rare promo as Christmas present: "Elvis Christmas Peace" - promo sampler from Hong Kong/Taiwan. I have added two sources from "Roanoke 04/11/72". Both sources come from the same recording as "Rockin' Roanoke", but the three have travelled different ways since 1972 - the "new" sources include "For the Good Times" and a complete "An American Trilogy". Also new is the DVD "The Memphis Flash". |
December
16th, 2005 |
A new unpublished: "Vegas 03/21/75 D/S", and it sounds a bit better than "ETCY vol. 59". |
December
9th, 2005 |
The incomplete concert on the CD "All Night", previously dated "Vegas 02/21/70 M/S", is taking a further step back, and is now dated only as "date unknown". New sleeves for "Pittsburgh 06/25/73". |
December
7th, 2005 |
Finally, I pulled myself together and bought the DVD "Adrenaline '71", and like the title says...it gives you quite a rush! |
December 2nd,
2005 |
I have added "Vegas 03/27/75 D/S" to the unpublished section - it sounds a bit better than "ETCY vol. 35". |
November
29th, 2005 |
I've worked quite a bit on a 2nd source to "Vegas 12/10/76 M/S" - the sound is not as good as the 1st source, but has the solos a bit more complete. |
November 21st, 2005 |
... and new sleeves for "Vegas 08/22/74 M/S"... |
November 18th, 2005 |
I received four new bootlegs today: "A Legendary Performer vol. 7" (Madison CWP 11), "Las Vegas Moonlight" (MEMORY 2048-2), "Spring Fever" (Unicorn Rec. 2101-2) and "Springtime in Nevada", which is really 03/25/75 D/S, (MEMORY 2049-2). On the unpublished side, I have added a more complete source to "Huntsville 05/31/75 E/S" (and I made new sleeves while I was at it). I worked a little on the sound of "Lake Tahoe 07/31/71 D/S"...man, this concert blows me right away! |
November 8th,
2005 |
Some interesting additions and upgrades among the unpublisheds: "Johnson City 03/17/76" (with Burning Love), "Alexandria 03/30/77", "Cleveland 07/18/75", "Norfolk 07/20/75 E/S" (new 1st source that's a bit more complete), "Des Moines 06/20/74" (new 1st source, which is slightly more complete and not quiet as horrible soundwise) and "Vegas 12/09/76 9PM" (pretty much the same as older sources). I have changed the date for "Lake Tahoe 07/31/71 M/S to the more likely D/S, the same day. I have made new sleeves for ETCY vol. 71, with the date "Vegas 01/28/73 M/S", which is probably correct. Finally, I have made new sleeves for "Detroit 04/22/77" and "Vegas 12/10/76 M/S". |
October
6th, 2005 |
Tiny, tiny update: I have added 24 min. of the Pre-programme to "Vegas 12/06/76", so it's now a 2 CD-set. And, I've made new sleeves for "Oakland 11/10/70". Finally, I now have the new release "There Goes My Everything" (no label). |
September
23rd, 2005 |
New today: "Omaha 06/19/77" - terrible sound, but this is the best I've found after years of looking. Lots of new boots: "A Legendary Performer vol. 6" (Madison), "Back on the Mainland" (Memories of Elvis", "Rockin' Chicago volumes 1 & 2" (Tennessee Moon), "The King of Western Bop" (CR REV 98), "Not Too Sweet" (SR Records) and finally the promo "The Presleys" (EFE vol. 6). |
