(14 CD + 7 DVD BOXSET)
ELVIS IN CONCERT 1977
ELVIS IN CONCERT 1977
I think there's not one single Elvis fan who doesn't dream about the fact that BMG (or FTD for that matter) would release the ultimate 1977 Elvis In Concert Boxset. I guess we can keep on dreaming, because the Presley Estate wants to ignore the fact that Elvis wasn't his best in 1977, physicially I mean. Elvis was sick and often his voice sounded very tired, but NOT during the June 19 & 21 concerts in Omaha, Nebraska and Rapid City, South Dakota.
"As we cannot expect an official release in near future, then we'll have to do it" must have been the thoughts of some bootleggers. The "Elvis In Concert" material has been released and re-released over and over againd and almost every "die hard" fan has some of this material in his collection.
But until Backdraft released the "Final Curtain" boxset in 2011 we didn't have such good material on CD and DVD!
So now the Rock & Roll Kingdom does it all over again with this The Final Curtain, The Ultimate Experience boxset that contains 14 CD's and 7 DVD's. And that's the problem in the "import" world: one label [Backdraft] makes a whole lot of effort to release a beautiful product, and then a few years later another "import" label steals that beautiful stuff and re-releases it. They even didn't bother to come up with a new title and artwork!
