It's a discussion board. We're here to discuss.

It was going to come out sooner or later - although why the mono masters aren't included is anybody's guess given the lack of unreleased material and outtakes. But ANOTHER release from 1976 - and not even from the March tour which so far hasn't been represented on FTD at all, despite being good for the period. When I look at lists of legendary live shows by great artists, I have never seen this one from Elvis turn up on the list. I realise that FTD is clearly running out of material, but when there are still 2 unreleased shows from 1969, virtually all of the TTWII rehearsals yet to appear officially, and the 1956/7 TV shows in dire need of audio upgrade, having last been available in 1998, one has to wonder who is coming up with this release strategy. I'd even be happy for FTD to re-release the Jan/Feb 1972 multitracks considering how bad they sounded on American Trilogy release. Pair them up with the soundboard of the opening night, a show which deserves to be released officially anyway. It's almost as if material for release is being chosen at random. "Oh look, that tape fell on the floor, let's release that."

I'd say the strategy is very clear. If they put out the really good stuff now, a lot of us would stop buying anything else. As it is, we'll keep buying to the end., except I see that more and more people are saying they will no longer buy the live stuff.
