I wouldn't call Dixieland Delight crap, Dixieland Delight has a good pair of shows. But it is definitely weaker than what came a few weeks before in Mufreesboro and what came after in Dallas or Memphis.midnightx wrote:Dixieland Delight is a piece of crap, should have been deleted years ago.

Re: Deleted FTD Titles 2017
I disagree. There is nothing "delightful" about Dixieland Delight. Elvis is clearly impaired and his vocal work is largely substandard. Very reminiscent of 1976 concerts. It has been years since I played this FTD title, but IIRC, there are not any redeeming performances. It may be the worst 1975 concert release to date.Elvis2000 wrote:I wouldn't call Dixieland Delight crap, Dixieland Delight has a good pair of shows.

Re: Deleted FTD Titles 2017
The main website shows that they are not deleted. I suspect an error on the eBay one.dougkapp wrote:Hello there, is there any information about the new FTD deletions?
I found on Ebay a seller, who claims the following titles are now deleted:
Elvis Presley - ELVIS: Las Vegas '74 - FTD 148 - New & Sealed - Deleted - £39.99
Elvis Presley - Elvis In Atlanta - 2 x FTD CD Set - New & Sealed - Deleted - £39.99

Re: Deleted FTD Titles 2017
But... and the new fans? The new FTD customers? If FTD would deleted all soundboard few months after release, those titles would be rare, expensive. Sometimes I think about the new fans, how many of them are buying FTD. With 18 years of existence FTD probably has new customers every year. Maybe not so much as we would like...Juan Luis wrote:All should be deleted months after release.
Did you see what happened with the first FTD vinyl?? Jungle Room, Jailhouse Rock, That's The Way, and others, they are sold up to GBP 250,00 on ebay !! Why? because they are now deleted.... but a lot of fans, would like to be owner of them.

Re: Deleted FTD Titles 2017
While I agree with most of this, there are a few redeeming performances here. "I'm Leavin" is excellent, and I seem to remember that "For the Good Times" and "I Can't Stop Loving You" are pretty solid too. However, Elvis is clearly impaired in Huntsville. Although these shows are hyped up to be something else, they are probably the worst of the tour. Dixieland Delight is memorable for the crowd reaction and Elvis's great mood, sort of like the Atlanta twofer, except that Elvis put on much better shows in Atlanta.midnightx wrote:I disagree.

The other day, I played the Prince from Another Planet concerts, and boy was he on fire, especially during the evening show. I keep revisiting the 1969, 1970, and 1972 multitracks, plus the March 1974 tour.

Re: Deleted FTD Titles 2017
Those kind of comments from Ciscoking undermines his credibility. These shows are decent at best, and even that is a stretch. In my opinion, they are rather weak, embarrassing even. I might decide to give them a spin while working, just to have something running in the background, something I don't need to pay attention to, but I see no reason to actively listen to them ever again.Elvis2000 wrote:Extra class good?

Re: Deleted FTD Titles 2017
Correct, it was a typo. Nevertheless, I find the Memphis show to be quite underwhelming on a number of levels. The set-list is very substandard.
