ELVIS '77 THE FINAL CURTAIN DVD COLLECTION

Out now is a 7 DVD box with the title Elvis '77 The Final Curtain DVD collection, with (as you can suspect by the title) the Elvis In Concert footage. 
This box is the 3rd DVD box release with the "In Concert" shows. 

The first release was the famous Boxcar release in 2011 with the beautiful 400 page booklet which holds 6 DVD's and 6 CD's. Nowadays people ask for this boxset more than US$ 600,00. 

Then the Rock And Roll Kingdom label re-released the material as a 14 CD and 7 DVD's set.

Now, the third (re-re-)release is this one: Elvis '77 The Final Curtain DVD collection. Yes, you just read it right, only the DVD collection. It sells for approx. € 130,00 on ebay. So this time no live CD;s [we've heard it all before and they were copies of other bootleg CD's anyway] but "only" 7 DVD's.

What do we get in this set. The same content that was on the previous boxcar release:

DVD 1: 8 mm footage from the May 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, ,28 & 29 concerts in various cities & 8mm footage from the June 1 show. 

DVD 2: 8mm footage from the June 18, 24, 25 & 26 shows. Bonus clips are from the february 20, May 1 & 2 shows in Charlotte and Chicago.

DVD 3: The (almost) complete show from June 19, 1977 concert in Omaha, Nebraska.

DVD 4: The (almost) complete show from June 21, 1977 concert in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Both concerts were filmed for the "Elvis In Concert June 1977" CBS TV Special.

DVD 5: Elvis In Concert, the CBS TV special.

DVD 6: "Elvis Is Dead", a collection of news reports from local and major TV stations on the passing of Elvis Presley, recorded in august 1977.

DVD 7: Elvis In Concert the alternate TV Special.

So what we have here is basically a bootleg DVD boxset from the Boxcar release and the Star release (alternate CBS TV Special) in extremely good picture quality, especially the Rapid City & Omaha concerts are very good and the TV special footage is the best we can get.

This set doesn't come with a booklet unfortuantely, but the people who made this set used very beautiful pictures all throughout the box.

So, if you missed the original box (the very expensive one) you can try getting this one. The quality is the same. 

Happy hunting.
