Hi, does anybody knows if any video of any Tahoe engagement exists?

there is no footage available from Lake Tahoe of Elvis, there isn't even many pictures of him in Tahoe(about 10 at most, on stage) and there is only 3 shows from '71, 6 from '73, 10 from '74(two seasons) and then the last season('76) has every show available(most in bad sound quality tho) and IMO this is one of the best tours/seasons of the '70's, he is in great form and singing some VERY rare songs

That we know of and/or have generally seen.
I seem to recall the On Tour crew were in Tahoe, were they not, and we have seen footage of someone being interviewed (was it possibly the hotel manager?) I can't recall now the details but it was in the On tour out takes possibly.

Umm, come to think of it the On Tour crew was at Lake Tahoe. Hmmm, I never realize that until now.

Ummmmmmmmm....is that confirmation they were. Ummmmmmmmm.....if you didn't realise that until I asked then are saying you are not confirming?

If I "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm" longer at the begining of sentences does it improve what I say, or does it make me look a twat as well :lol:

Considering Elvis' Tahoe engagement was July/August 1971 - ten/eleven months before On Tour was filmed - it is unlikely. The On Tour crew did not film in Tahoe.

And then he returned there eleven months after On Tour ... so, again, no.

Yes, i was aware of that as were the people questioning the footage within the out takes because the timeline of events didnt add up.

I've searched the site and cannot find the original query, maybe the person who I think was identified as being from the hotel was filmed at another venue, but the context of what he was saying then wouldn't have made that right.

Scott, I think you're supposed to say "Ummmm" for some reason at the beginning of your sentence, not sure why, maybe its national "Ummm" day where we have to look like we're part stupid or something.

In the On Tour outtakes, a guy mentioned Elvis could sell out for several months here in Lake Tahoe..
Don't have time to look it up for exact details right now.
But MGM crew obviously was present in Tahoe'71!

Does not mean any Elvis footage exist though.

maybe they filmed it in '72, or anytime when Elvis wasn't performing there. they would have used Lake Tahoe instead of Vegas 'cos they did a film about Elvis in Vegas just 2 years earlier

Thanks for giving the detail Robert, I knew I wasn't going mad.

Make that, Ummm, I knew i wasn't going mad. :lol:

(Thought for the day: If you know that you're not mad, how would you know that that in itself is not a mad thought?)
