| FTDs New EXCITING Release!!! | |
 |
Great is my excitement to share with you the news about this new release that FTD is planning, entitled Nevada Nights. Nevada Nights featers two full live concerts: August 19, 1974 - Opening Night Show and August 21, 1974 - Midnight Show. The Opening Night show was released previously and the material is very well known to hardcore Elvis fans. Yet to those who neer heard that show it is going to be very exciting. Since on this one show Elvis tried an entirely new song line-up. And instead of the traditional CC Rider or That's Allright he kicks off with a great version of Big Boss Man. And surprises don't stop there. Just take a look at the tracklist... August 19, 1974 - Opening Night Show
The release is expected for November together with another FDT Elvis Country from the Classic Albums Series. I would've concentrated more on Elvis Country but this one is too damn exciting for me :) |

| Million Dollar Quartet Musical in September | |
 |
A new musical inspired by a legendary 1956 recording session involving Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley is headed to the Goodman Theatre in September. And the co-director is Eric Schaeffer, the widely acclaimed artistic leader of the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Va., and a Broadway director. The musical, which has aspirations beyond Chicago, isn’t a Goodman production, but a commercial venture that’s renting t he Owen Theatre space in an unusual deal. It already has been produced on the West Coast, but Schaeffer said this week that his involvement is new and that the piece is being rewritten and redesigned for Chicago. Gigi Pritzker is among the producers. www.goodmantheatre.org. Source: Chicagotribune.com |

| The Final Farewell | |
 |
To be released soon is a new CD with the last concert Elvis gave in Indianapolis on June 26, 1977. The King's last performance indeed was something outstanding as compared to the other shows of that tour. The new 2CD version allegedly should have a much better sound. It will also have the pre-programme of the show. A 20 page color booklet with detailed information is another stimulus to purchase that particular edition. + an A3 poster (it's gonna be folded a lot I suppose). The CD will be released by Rainbow records that previously was behind Vegas variety releases. Source FECC board. |
| Next FTD? | |
 |
OK, the word is on the street that the next one's gonna be a 2CD of the 1970 That's The Way It Is album. Personally I'm looking forward to that one very much. It'll be a 2x CD release with deluxe 7" packaging and 20-page booklet. |
| Graceland Has New Exhibition | |
 |
Two new exciting exhibitions chronicling two key periods of Elvis’ life – “Private Presley” and “Elvis 68” – are scheduled to open at the Graceland visitor center in March 2008 and will feature many items from the Graceland archives that have never been on display to the general public. Also new this year is an expanded and enhanced VIP Tour. “Private Presley” covers the time 50 years ago when, at the zenith of his early superstardom, Elvis Presley was inducted into the army. He performed his duties like any other soldier with none of the special treatment his celebrity status might have afforded him. After completing basic training and initial service in Texas, in October 1958 Elvis was sent to Germany where he served until March of 1960. It was during his time abroad that he met his future wife Priscilla Beaulieu. click here to continue |
