is there a tape of the real monroe show?Ciscoking wrote:The search goes on...my tape is NOT Monroe, March 7, 1974 ES..the key is the FS before Trying To get To You..it could now be Charlotte, March 9, 1974 ES as Monroe can be ruled out. Monroe is new..btw..too.
?Ciscoking wrote:Yes. ..Monroe is there and ages ago
Roanoke...Was wrongly dated as being
Monroe. . But it was amended also years
Ago...
Hmm, then maybe we shouldn't be referring to the Monroe performance as "Monroe, March 7, 1974 ES."Mr. Songman wrote:drjohncarpenter wrote:Anyone know more about the Monroe, March 7, 1974 AS?
After all, if someone lists out a "Monroe, March 7, 1974 ES," there must also be one from the afternoon.
I can only find information on an ES for the 7th, and a show for the 8th
Another mystery is Monroe, March 7, 1974 AS. Any idea where that one might be hiding?Ciscoking wrote:What I have now is Monroe, March 7, 1974 ES. Thats a fact.What remains a mystery is this show..
The Richmond show was also officially released by FTD in November 2011:merry77 wrote:I think the unknown show has a date closer to March 17th.
This because in Montgomery March 6th Voice isn’t introduced.
Elvis starts doing that (that we know) in Roanoke March 10th.
In this unknown show Elvis also introduces Pete Hallin separately. Elvis also does that in Memphis March 20th.
So my guess is that this show could be Murfreesboro March 19th.
What do the stories say when Elvis discovers this kid is from Sweden?
possibilities:
Greensboro 13 March
Knoxville 15 March
Memphis 16 March
Murfreesboro 19 March
I know it’s NOT Richmond March 18th (based on reliable review).
You were on stage when Elvis performed 'How Great Thou Art'. What did you think of his performance?
I liked it a lot. But the strongest memory I have of it, was one time when I wasn't on stage, and could listen to him perform it, I remember I was very moved by it. He did the song with an incredible feeling. I was just on stage during a particular period, and that was because I was standing in for a guy in the background chorus. That was during a tour in March 1974.

Heh. Not sure how accurate he was, but Nielsen claimed he was on the tour, but maybe he left mid-way through.elvisjock wrote:My understanding is that it was Sherrill who took some time off.
The one thing I really want to know is, can Pete play "Aubrey?"
In March '74 you went on the road with him. What was that like?
It was fun. People were never ready for the excitement that was generated at the Elvis concerts. Several security guards had their ribs literally broken by women rushing the stage.

Heh, Sherrill makes no specific mention of this in the interview.elvisjock wrote:Found the Sherrill mention. It's in "Elvis Day By Day,"by Guralnick and Jorgensen.
March 4, 1974: "Because of ongoing internal disputes within Voice, Sherrill Nielsen leaves the tour after this date and is replaced by the group's piano player, Per-Erik Hallin."
From what I can gather looking at Rex Martin's "New Service Weekly" from this period, it cannot be Monroe - March 4, Hampton Roads - March 11 or Richmond - March 12.Ciscoking wrote:To avoid confusion. The tape I got from March 7, 1974 ES is in fact Roanoke, March 10 ES. Sorry for the misunderstanding. My unknown show must be one of these.
Monroe, March 4 ES
Monroe, March 7 ES
Charlotte, March 9 ES
Hampton Roads, March 11 ES
Richmond, March 12 ES
Greensboro, March 13 ES
I can rule out all others.
Thanks, mate. That indeed narrows it down to these 3 concerts. Before Trying To Get To You he says in a joking way something like singing the song on a stool...then we have the fs of the song. Keith you probably have reviews of these 3 shows, too..?Keith wrote:From what I can gather looking at Rex Martin's "New Service Weekly" from this period, it cannot be Monroe - March 4, Hampton Roads - March 11 or Richmond - March 12.Ciscoking wrote:To avoid confusion.

In Monroe Elvis states after 'Funny How Time Slips Away' that they will be back in Monroe in a couple of days, and then states "Until then I bid you an affectionate adios" - This is not what it's like on your tape, so it cannot be this show.
It cannot be from Hampton Roads or Richmond either, as the following indicates that Elvis sang 'Mystery Train / Tiger Man' in Richmond, which isn't on the track listing of the tape you have, and in Hampton Roads it shows he did a reprise of the last verse on 'Why Me Lord?' and also sings 'How Great Thou Art' - does he do this on your tape? If not, it isn't this show you have.
This now just leaves the following concerts as possibilities as being on the tape you have:
Monroe, March 7
Charlotte, March 9 ES
Greensboro, March 13

No, sorry, there is nothing for Monroe on March 7 or Greensboro on March 13, and there is only a review of the afternoon show at Charlotte on March 9. I have posted everything of relevance from Rex's "News Service Weekly" in relation to this tour.Ciscoking wrote:Thanks, mate. That indeed narrows it down to these 3 concerts.

Yes, this does appear to be the same show that you have, although the reviewer incorrectly states that Elvis sang 'Heartbreak Hotel', which he doesn't on your tape.Ciscoking wrote:Please read this review for Greensboro, March 13, 1974 ES and then listen to what Elvis says before and after Funny How Time Slips Away.
Of interest is the story about this little boy and what Elvis says when he bids the audience goodbye
