As Red West described him, "thin as a rake and better looking than ten movie stars." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool and all but there's nothing new to it. There's TONS of footage from 70/71 we haven't seen. It's insane that they won't unearth and remaster any of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lame ass security Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I watched an Elvis doc on Reelz last night called Elvis: Are You Lonesome Tonight. I was pleasantly surprised, it delved into a few things seldom touched upon. It talked extensively how Elvis' life, in some part, was shaped by the death of his twin brother Jesse. It talked about the relationship twins have in utero. Fascinating stuff. It also talked about an incident Elvis had with Vernon not long before his death. I had never heard about it. Vernon was in the hospital, I think he had a minor heart, when Elvis visited him. He told Elvis that his stardom had put his mother in an early grave and that it was about to do the same to him, meaning Vernon. They said hearing that devastated Elvis. He died not long after this took place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used Gladys' death more than a few times to guilt Elvis into things that weren't healthy for him at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Fan Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Does elvis band still tour. I remember a few years ago the band were rehearsing for shows with a backdrop of elvis and didnt know if they were still doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As original members pass away or are no longer up to touring, they've tried to substitute other people who played with Elvis and so on. I got the see it in person 3 times about 20 years ago and I gotta tell you, it was fucking amazing. I saw it in an arena twice and once in a theater. All 3 shows really made you feel like Elvis himself was there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 folks, the new release "from elvis in nashville" is received very well by the elvis community. Even people who are elvis collectors for all their lives are beyond excited for this. it is truly a revelation, and a stunning package. Ordered for christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was really impressed. Let me put it this way: during all 3 shows, there was at least one moment where I was so into it that I'd ended up glancing from the screen down to the stage where Elvis would be, then thought "Oh yeah, he's not even here!". You can find a pro shot version of it on YouTube. It's called "Elvis Lives In Concert" or something like that. It's not exactly the same as seeing it live but it'll give you an idea of how cool it was. 3 hours ago, action said: folks, the new release "from elvis in nashville" is received very well by the elvis community.

action Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I'm an elvis fan for 20 years, but his work is still a gift that keeps on giving. I've got a couple of elvis related christmas gifts, the nashville and tupelo boxsets which I'm only just delving into and now I'm listening to the million dollar stuff. wether it's the sun stuff, early RCA, back from the army, soundtracks, comeback, early vegas, mid 70s or later years; there's always a wealth to discover and it's never boring, always inspiring. I feel that elvis works wonders against depression too. his vocal style is so uplifting, certainly the early 'acting the fool" style Edited December 25, 2020 by action 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I had no idea this was a thing, but it looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor doesn't look much like him BUT Elvis is wayyyyyy more about mannerisms than just looks. I'll go see it on release day but his story is a LOT to cover in 2 or 2 1/2 hours. At first, I was excited to see a lot of jumpsuits in the trailer because I was thinking that means they wouldn't brush the 70s aside. But after watching it a few more times, I'm worried that the 70s will be covered by a "then he did a lot of concerts on drugs and died" montage. Again though, I'm going in with an open mind and we'll see what happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
