About this deal

I found it odd that Elvis seemed to ignore his own recent single releases from that era yet he included hit songs from other artists in his concert setlists. As well as the on-stage performances, the film includes backstage footage, with the original press release boasting that Elvis On Tour offered “the first intimate look at the enigmatic country boy who became the world’s most celebrated musician”. EIN notes that in 2010 Turner finally did put out the ‘On Tour’ DVD / BluRay but for some unfathomable reason RCA / SONY did not match it with the CD box-set. Presley assembled a new band comprising James Burton (guitar), John Wilkinson (rhythm guitar), Jerry Scheff (bass guitar), Ronnie Tutt (drums), Larry Muhoberac, (piano) and Charlie Hodge (rhythm guitar, background vocals). is it complete or is the tape in fact damaged and missing what is said to be the best version of Never Been To Spain?

EIN's in-depth review by Piers Beagley checks out the positives and negatives of this long-awaited release. Elvis´voice seemed stronger, more focused and controlled and he attacked the songs at a totally different and powerful manner than what was the case in Greensboro and San Antonio. For the sessions at RCA Records's Hollywood studio, Presley sang the numbers he prepared for the tour and performed Gospel jam sessions with the musicians.His last movie appearance was the 1970 documentary Elvis: That's the Way It Is, chronicling the Elvis Summer Festival of 1970 at Las Vegas' International Hotel.

Disc 5 features the tour rehearsals, recorded live at RCA Recording Studios in Hollywood, California, on March 30 and 31, 1972.

A present piano, the bass is good, The Sweet Inspirations and James Burton's lead guitar are present. Learn about the upcoming Elvis On Tour release in this special panel, where Ernst Jorgensen will “unbox” this exciting new CD box set and gives the audience a detailed preview of the unreleased music included in it. the Daily Press reported the show on April 9 at the Hampton Coliseum, had a sold-out crowd of 22,000.

Some of this material has been featured on past releases, though it's all been newly remixed by Ross-Spang.

The other thing that Sony are up against compared with Amiga is that Amiga do not pay any royalties on the recordings and I doubt they paid Warners anything for the photos used either and I believe it was this kind of thing although not exclusive, that caused a hiccup with Sony getting the physical release out on the original date. In the (for me) good mixes, the team around Rob Santos and Steve Rosenthal was always there, but Matt Ross Spang didn't manage it so well in my opinion, even at the Aloha concert on FTD. But so many of us fans want the entire on tour film concerts and rehearsals re-masterd and released.The Richmond Review perceived Elvis On Tour as "another quicknik vehicle" for "keeping" Presley's "face in front of his North American audience".

The film crew led by directors Pierre Adidge and Robert Abel (Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen) captured four shows in Hampton, Virginia; Richmond, Virginia; Greensboro, North Carolina; and San Antonio, Texas. This version is at a slower tempo and the new dynamic mix emphasises Elvis’ belief and love for gospel music.Baz Luhrmann recently suggested that he would like to do a 'redux' of Elvis on Tour and TTWII using material not used in the original cuts. Box set with 2 card fold-outs (8 panel and 6 panel) containing the CDs in card slots with the Blu-ray in it's own card sleeve, together with a 32-page booklet featuring liner notes, memorabilia and photos. It is a real positive that these “On Tour” concerts don’t have the TCB Band rush of the MSG concerts nor the slight sterility-of-perfection required from them for the ‘Aloha’ recording.
