Prince From Another Planet - Brilliant!

There was absolutely nothing wrong with Elvis' Sunday afternoon performance. Another 20,000 folks went home happy.

The entire weekend rocked!

Are we sure that the last show was a complete sellout?
At the end of the CD we hear Al talking about the limited
number of seats available for the Sunday Afternoon show.

Btw, I love the new set.

I noted this as well, but I also noted an ad for 3 concerts and I am guessing that the 4th was arranged after the first 3 sold out and that sold out as well.
As a seperate point in many concerts that are sold out, there are often last minute tickets made availabe through rearranging sets, seating and the like.

I was excited to get it finally.How-ever was some what disappointed about the packaging.It 'does open nicely though.Try getting the cd's or the dvd out,is a pain in the butt.They could have done better on that part.All in all,it's a great set to add to my collection.

The seats that Al Dvorin spoke of were more than likely added due to demand. My guess is that they sold those quickly.

Without a doubt –– he was red-hot at the Garden...

I wish we knew for sure.

Needless to say I was surprised to
hear Al announce that.

Just watched the footage again and the end of "Proud Mary" with the cool ending... Brilliant moves!!

Also the conclusion of 'Trilogy' –– I do believe he matches the ALOHA vocal power, in fact I think he tops it. It's a close call –– and the 'huh' to finish indicating a full-power Elvis performance –– brilliant!!

It is Stunning footage –– still watching and enjoying it. Been reading the numerous reviews on the net and 99% positive...

Thanks Ernst & gang and SONY

The blank screen feature just gets better and better.

Over the Xmas holidays - i've tried to fill the blank gaps with other Madison / On Tour & Aloha footage and hide those annoying sprockets, works so far . . . .

Love the packaging - here's a few more pics found in the ELVIS FASHION FTD BOOK:

Well done. Sony could use a guy like you to edit their material.

Thanks its a labour of love . . .

Great pleasure looking at this footage.
I watched it rarely so far as I can't really enjoy the black spots.

Sorry to say, but the PFAP remixes just doesn't do it for me, I listened to them once and the original mixes (as found on the Legacy Edition) will remain the go-to mixes for me. It's somewhat hard to describe the approach taken here but to me these remixes almost sound like a stereo fold-down of a surround mix, reminiscent of the sound usually present on DVDs with a high degree of digital manipulation (incl. delays and compression).

The main detraction for me is the distorted vocals that now sound completely unnatural, lacking in analog warmth plus mixed a bit too low for my taste. Elvis' vocals should be the center piece of any mix, sadly they are not the center piece here. Perhaps this approach works well in conjunction with the video product but in terms of pure audio enjoyment this type of manipulation is definitely a step back and way too modern for my taste.

just listened to the Afternoon Show again today. His voice sounds fantastic. Funny how people see things so differently.

I agree that the Legacy Edition of the original mixes sounds much better than Prince From Another Planet.

Maybe listening to the new mixes isn't enough to soak it up. When I first heard the new mix I was not sure but after repeated plays I now love the Brauer mix. T o me Elvis' voice sounds full and clear. Also the concert sounds exciting to listen to with all instruments balanced well. I haven't yet got the Legacy version and don't know whether I will due to cost but at the end of the day it's down to your taste.

But here's a test: If you can decipher what Elvis say's on "Polk Salad Annie" (afternoon show footage) when he puts his thumb up to someone in the crowd ––" go down by the .......?" on the LEGACY edition I may indeed buy a copy.

Cheers

I finally picked this up ... and can't put it down!

Both albums sound fantastic ... I'm sometimes let down by reissues, etc, that claim improved sound and the like, but this set delivers ... you're literally in MSG with these!

I'm a big Afternoon fan, but right now like the night show ....

... as for the DVD, it also is a big part of this time machine - from showing the outside of the venue in '72 to when he walks out is just amazing.

The booklet is well done, too ... just a perfect set, and an important document of popular music history.

Yes. His voice sounds full and clear. That's what I get out of it also.

I've watched clips of Elvis at MSG before and thought he was past his peak but this product has changed my mind! Wow, Elvis really took it up a level at these concerts and the footage shows him smiling and having a great time on stage. He doesn't look bored and although the moves are not quite as 'spontaneous' as in TTWII, they are still exciting - especially the karate in Suspicious Minds. The sound is great and the band is really cookin. Elvis' voice is rich and full and everything's at perfect pitch. The song choice on the afternoon show is particularly well paced (unlike the very pedestrian setlist chosen for Aloha from Hawaii.) I especially liked the bluesy Heartbreak Hotel, Never Been to Spain and Reconsider Baby. Hound Dog was great fun. I even liked the sped up PSA! The afternoon show is my favourite of the two concerts. I would have liked some pics to fill in the blanks on the dvd and an option to skip to the footage only but this is a small gripe. Overall, I found the package excellent with a great accompanying booklet - 9/10.
