What first Aloha rehearsal??
1970s pro shot (ie TV/movie company not fan-shot) footage. (No mystery there actually ... we all know the answer already).Probably the most probable ( ). This is our best hope of getting 'new' Elvis 'goodies' anytime.

Where is the CBS, July 1977 poolside interview?

Was he finished on that fateful day in 1977 or did the coroner have to wipe his butt?

This one.

Erased apparently.

No great loss.

I presume you know there's a hidden track at the end of The Jungle Room Sessions - the final few seconds of the song?

[midnightx]

Also, when will the Jungle Room session master of "Feelings" be released?

I'd like to hear it.

That goes without saying, I guess -- as much as I find the song a bit much, I'd be all over hearing his tryouts of "Feelings" if I had the chance, for that matter -- but I seem to recall that Elvis improvised new lyrics that he used in the studio version of "America, The Beautiful," that were not especially soaringly patriotic, and that perhaps that's why it was erased. Worth a listen, anyway, if it was still somehow out there on some source.

I agree with a lot of the choices given already, including the 'blue shirt' session from '68, the 8/1/69 press conference in sound or sound-and-picture, and so on. The '50s is something of a black hole for us in many ways, none more so than the Sun years -- it'd be great to know, once and for all, what the truth is behind the long list of songs rumored to have been recorded (or done live) while with Sun and what, exactly, still exists.

I'm sure I could think of quite a few open questions -- some rather in the big-picture vein and some pretty trivial (setlists, attire, etc). For such a scrutinized figure, it's surprising there're still so many unanswered questions surrounding Elvis' direct activities. Of course, conflicting testimony from those present, whose viewpoints may have been rendered dubious by one or all of (i) the inevitability of time and viewing angle (including drug-induced hazes) changing things, (ii) an agenda for spite or profit, and (iii) outright lying, doesn't help...

What first Aloha rehearsal??

This one.

That should be considered as the second rehearsal, since it occurred on January 13th IIRC.
Weren't there just some soundchecks anyway on the 13th?

[jeanno]

- the ´55 Pied footage
- movie out-takes
- 1969 rehearsals
- january/february 1970 pro footage
- february, 27th 1970 houston interview
- aloha sound check

... quite a few unsolved mysteries.

[tcb4]

You all know that a mystery is not only about audio or video ?

[discking]

Aloha first rehearsal audio

Wasn't there a rehearsal done on the 10th Jan 1973? I've seen a list somewhere that said the following songs were rehearsed.
My Babe
Little Sister
One Night
It's Impossible
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
All Shook Up
The Wonder Of You
Teddy Bear
Don't Be Cruel
How Great Thou Art
I Got A Woman

That one I like

[tcb4]

Francesc, i don t understand this animosity towards me
like many, i started topics that i m not proud but others i m proud
for example, i was the very first guy to ask who was a black man with EP on a picture, and it turned out to be "clyde mc phatter" ( according to doc ) ...

[Scott]

That should be considered as the second rehearsal, since it occurred on January 13th IIRC.

It was done during the day on the 12th "to iron out any technical difficulties" (Elvis Day By Day) - and other sources.

Hence, first rehearsal.

If anyone has the book in which the pic is featured (I don't), perhaps another date is given?
