In answer to your question, I live on planet. furthermore, I am not your brother or any blood relative. If you read back on your posting, you said that the only way we will get "Elvis On Tour" on DVD is via bootleggers and I correctly stated that it has been released. You never spoke about out-takes, you said "Elvis On Tour" so before you start throwing abuse at me you should re-read your own ramblings. As for Ernst running FTD, obviously I do know that as well as the fact that FTD have no control over the MGM footage you speak of, something you appear to be unaware of. As for this mythical three hundred hours of footage, how did you come up with such a figure? Think of a number, double it, etc. MGM filmed at four concerts, one pretty much complete and three partially. They also filmed two rehearsal sessions and followed the tour around shooting various bits of backstage footage. Even if, for arguements sake, MGM had shot five hours of footage a day they would have to have been done sixty days of filming to total your figure of three hundred hours. Any answers?

On what planet do you live brother ? MGM had 300 hrs of footage in the vaults and does not want to have a re-make made edited preferably, according to many fans, by Jerry Schilling and narrated by both Joe, Jerry and Larry Geller who were there when it all happened....Fans are no longer interested in the blue or purple-ray EonT movie as such... We want to see all there is available of E on stage everywhere they filmed him way back in '72...! Yes, it's bad marketing as usual Tony.
One day you'll come to that conclusion also brother. Ernst Jorgensen is the one at FTD desk...if you didn't know...heyhey.

It mentions above that this CD contains pre-1962 out of copyright recordings, something the previous posting appears to ignore. This puts the 1969-1977 live recordings out of bounds. Strangely enough, whenever FTD do release a live CD, a certain person under one of many guises complains that we have had too many and that the tracklisting is too similar. Which is it, too many or too few? What exactly is "Ernst of FTD" witholding from us? As for "Elvis On Tour", it was officially released on DVD over a year ago.

Great ! Will buy some ofr those meant as a gift to friends I haven't seen in a long time ! They'll remember those hits.
Now Now Music Comp. should perhaps also release a box of "Best of Elvis in Vegas" 1069 and then on till '76 and also a "the best of the king in concert-Tour One" with a box per tour he made during era 1970 till 1977; this as a response to what so many fans are still waiting for and Ernst of FTD won't release it for us ...! What Sony or FTD doesn't offer us, we'll buy it from just anyone posible ...! Boots or no boots, lawyers or not ! We want e-l-v-i-s. That'll be the only way we'll get the
EonTour as filmed by MGM.
