If the Dorsey Shows become available officially do you care?

I've been told that there's been a bit of difficulty with some folks attempting to play this file, so I've created leaner and meaner (if slightly less smooth) .wmv version of the Johnny Burnette clip, which still manages to retain most of the improvements that LiveFeed brings...

You can find it here:

Hope this helps!

At the risk of dragging this thread back on-topic...

...someone was nice enough to loan a copy of "Elvis '56" to me, so I could get a decent look at some of the Dorsey clips that you're talking about...

Well, after watching a few of them, all I can say is-- trust me, you **do** want those restored with LiveFeed-- they'll be **marvelous** when I'm through!

Kevin, I'll be first in line, day of release. Perhaps my Elvis On TV In 1956 DVD template isn't so far-fetched after all ...

The upcoming "Sullivan" DVD will cover the 1957 date, my template is for all the rest in 1956, in one package, plus some "extras." See the first page!

I see it.........lordy! Christmas came early. I LOVE you Kevin. Great job. I hope you find the other 3 too. I can't wait to see the whole footage of "Hound Dog" some time.
Thanks again Kevin.

My goodness -- it looks FANTASTIC! More, please.

Interesting choice of "Hound Dog." They play it in the key of E, while Elvis' RCA single and live performances are the key of C. I'm not the biggest fan of Johnny's vocals, but Paul's guitar playing is untutored but interesting.

Who doesn't love his reply to Ted Mack about working with Elvis at Crown Electric, "He was a good truck driver, but always had his hair real long, and always needed a haircut ..."

Thanks for sharing this material.
