HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW CONCERTS?
Memphis'97
I had seen the first "Elvis" concert in Memphis in 97. When Elvis came out on stage (on the screen) and the band was roaring, and the place was sold out. I cried like a baby. Tears streamed down my face through the first three songs!! Keep in mind I was 23 at the time and im a guy. The duet of "Don't Cry Daddy" once again brought tears to my eyes. To think one man brought so much love and joy by singing songs. I moved to Las Vegas August of 97 soon after the concert. I hoped and hoped that if the Elvis concert series continued that it would stop in at Elvis' old stomping grounds out here...the Las Vegas Hilton of course!! Well, it did. While waiting in line to get in I was reminded of TTWII, we were in the very same lines they show in the movie. The line wrapped around the ENTIRE casino!! The electricity was amazing!! It was such a thrill, you could almost feel as though Elvis himself was really there with everything going on. (about an hour before the show I went to the showroom and could hear Elvis singing and the TCB band practicing from outside the main door, it gave me the chills!!!!!) Once we got in the show started and the lights went down.
2001 started and was SO loud!! (Again more chills) then the big curtain covering the stage dropped and ELVIS appeared!!! He sounded so good, but the TCB band was tight as ever!!! During Johnny B. Goode they added solo's for the band members. (This is new, it was not in the 97 show) It showed just how good the band still was, then Elvis chimed back in on the chorus to make it complete!! What a gem this was!! The show stopper was THREE songs, Just Pretend, Bridge, and, I'll remember you. I'll remember you because on small screens next to Elvis' main screen they showed video of Elvis throughout his life. It was so good!! Bridge and Just Pretend because of the vocals that Elvis gave. They just touch a nerve that is something special. Elvis truly was a one and only. This is a MUST SEE for anyone!! Elvis fan or not!! The show was sold out, and because of the demand they had to ADD shows to the schedule.
If EPE or the Hilton or whoever did the advertising would do a REAL job on this it would certainly sell out everywhere it went. I live here in Vegas and have run into MANY people who feel robbed because they didn't know about the shows and missed all of them!! I did take pictures at the shows I went to in Las Vegas. If you would like to see them here is my link to my web page.
Elvis The King Of Rock-N-Roll
March 18,1998. Cleveland, Ohio
I remember the music, gates, the band and him coming out and doing C.C.Rider. It was great. I never got to see Elvis when I was young because I was only 6 years old. But this new concert was awesome the band J.D. Sumner and The Stamps were good too. To me it felt like after the first two songs you forgot about the damn screen cause it felt like he was right there on the stage. It felt like he rose from the dead and started to tour again just like he did in the 70's. For the people who have not seen this concert I highly recommend you folks to see it.

August 29, 1998. Rosemont, IL
I want to express my gratitude to Graceland and all the TCB Band and Elvis Loved ones for making the Concert a special place to pay tribute to the Legendary Performer of all times in Rock and Roll History, Elvis Aron Presley.
His show was great at the Rosemont - yes they hold 18,000 seats but I read in the papers the next day that the estimate attendance was counted and was approximately at 15,000 Elvis Fans whom could not be wrong, smile. The Chicago Sun-Times verified that. Altho, I read some message boards that it was between 5,000 to 7,000 which was inaccurately. It looked like it was small because 3000 seats were unused.
I also went to see the very first Concert in Graceland back in 1997 when they showed Lisa Marie Presley singing duet with her late daddy, "Don't Cry Daddy". I even saw Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley about 100 feet away from me-- I got good pictures taken also.
But anyway, both shows were outstanding, the feel and the view was so great that it would make you cry to be in the environment of Elvis Presley. His music was so awesome--
Act I
CC Rider, Burning Love, Steamroller Blues, I Cant Stop Loving You, Johnny B. Goode, You Gave Me a Mountain, (Elvis introduces the cast), Polk Salad Annie, You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', Proud Mary, Never Been to Spain, Just Pretend, Make the World Go Away, In The Ghetto...(JD Sumner & the Stamps sang "Sweet Sweet Spirit), (The Imperials sang "He Touched Me"), then Elvis again, How Great Thou Art, and Bridges Over Troubled Water...
Act II
Sweet Inspiration-- by The Sweet Inspirations Trouble/Guitar Man, Hound Dog, Dont Be Cruel, All Shook Up, Heartbreak Hotel, One Night, Love Me Tender, The Wonder of You, Lawdy-Miss Clawdy, Funny How Time Slips Away, Suspicious Minds, I'll Remember You, Big Hunk o' Love, My Way, An American Trilogy, Cant Help Falling in Love then Close Vamp.
All were clips from Tv Special 68, Aloha From Hawaii, That's The Way It Is, Elvis on Tour, and The Lost Performances...
Very Beautiful Show-- I was on the low level audience and the Fans were screaming like Crazy--actually it depends where u are sitting -- the closer u sit to the Stage the wilder it is--giggle.
IT was so good to be there--felt like as if it was a LIVE CONCERT WITH THE REAL ELVIS...
May Elvis Rest in Peace--Long Live Elvis!
Elvis in Wembley
Well, Elvis has now invaded Europe for his first ever "World Tour! And I'm thrilled to have witnessed the opening night in London!
The Wembley Arena was packed with an excited crowd of around 12,000. It was unfortunate that the organisers were totally incompetent to handle the sell-out attendance. It was a real nightmare trying to get into the building and to our seats. Merchandise was expensive and almost impossible to access. Programmes sold out long before many people (including me) had an opportunity to get one.
I saw/ heard very little publicity for the show, other than fan club information and the Graceland web site, so it's a tribute to the everlasting popularity of the King that the venue sold out so quickly after tickets went on sale 3 months before the event.
On the day of the concert, the London "Times" newspaper headlined a full page spread giving news of the concert, which was tastefully and seriously written, and accompanied by good photos of Elvis and James Burton. After the show, Sky News carried an equally tasteful account on TV in their hourly news bulletins, together with footage of the rehearsals and a brief interview with Todd Morgan. The following Monday morning "The Times" again had a pretty good write up, reviewing the concert in the newspaper's "Arts" section.
Well, what words can I use to describe the concert itself? It was simply AWESOME. The whole place tingled as the first few notes of "2001" rumbled around the auditorium. For some, this alone produced tears. I was fortunate enough to witness the show in Memphis in August '97. That, of course, was a unique never- to-be-repeated experience, an incredible climax to an incredible week. That aside, I think the London concert was an improvement, with more "live" material from the King. I thought it was especially nice to have a "live" version of "How Great Thou Art", rather than the audio only one. There were other brilliantly crafted touches of interaction between "Elvis" and his audience. I loved the "...Now you've had a chance to see us, I'd like to turn the house lights up...." and then, blow me, if we didn't see ourselves on the big screen waving, alternating with Elvis looking out at us!
It is a brilliant concept, superbly executed, and splendidly performed. The objective to reach as close as possible to a real live Elvis concert is certainly achieved. As for the band and the supporting singers, absolutely nothing short of the highest praise is due. It was, of course, so sad that J.D. Sumner was missing, but it was a nice touch that the rest of the Stamps dedicated "Sweet, Sweet Spirit" to him, and they sang it superbly. The Sweet Inspiriations opened the second half of the show with a rousing and energetic "Sweet Inspiration". The TCB Band almost defy an appropriate comment. They are legends in their own right.
I was in the third row, bang in the centre. Great seats! Maybe a bit better view of the screen could have been achieved a little further away, but this was well compensated for by the closeness to the live performers. We even managed a quick exchange with James Burton during the interval. I was also delighted to bump into comedian Frank Skinner in the auditorium, and was able to thank him for his excellent recent TV documentary "A Little Bit of Elvis".
The only bit I would preferred left out were the odd moments of Las Vegas audiences on the video screen. For me, this kind of interrupted the feeling of it truly being a "live" concert. But no matter, it's a trivial point. High spots of the concert(apart from ALL of it!) were "Just Pretend", "Suspicious Minds", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "How Great Thou Art" and "An American Trilogy". And during "Never Been To Spain", the line "I've never been to England..." brought huge cheers from the Wembley crowd! By the time "Can't Help Falling In Love" faded away, the entire auditorium was on its feet for a lengthy and well deserved standing ovation. In a way, that was the worst moment of all, because by then we knew it was all over! It seemed to pass so quickly!
But I guess London had to let the King march on with the remainder of his Europe "invasion"! It defies all logic and imagination that 20-, 30-, 40-year-old popular music performed by an entertainer who has now been dead for almost 22 years, can still enthral and captivate so many tens of thousands of people around the world. That is, until you see it. Then you know why Elvis remains the undisputed - and unchallengable - King!

Wembley Arena
As I was only 5 yrs old when Elvis died I knew I would never get to experience the KING in concert, or so I thought. Then on 23rd January 1999 all my wishes came true. The place was London, England, the venue was Wembley Arena and it was ELVIS IN CONCERT '99.
I sat in my seat when all of a sudden the arena went dark and the opening bars of 2001 boomed out from the speakers, the place erupted, you could just feel the anticipation build right upto Ronnie's drum vamp when all of a sudden the King was before us, he chose the famous 73 eagle suit, he looked great.
The King started with CC Rider and from then until the last it was highpoint after highpoint. The intros came and the Stamps had a special cheer(sadly they were one missing), the concert was just roaring on, Jonny B Goode (complete with band solos) never sounded so good. One of the most moving parts of the night came when Elvis asked the Stamps to sing Sweet Sweet Spirit, they dedicated the song to their friend J.D. Sumner, everyone present had a lump in their throat at the end of this song (and boy can they still sing). Other highlights were Just Pretend, Bridge (complete with added choir), Suspicious Minds (my fav performance of the night), How Great Thou Art (BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN) and of course Trilogy, the response for this one was fantastic. During 'Never Been To Spain' the line which goes 'well I've never been to England' was greeted with wry smiles and cheers, OH indeed you have been to England and you conquered. All too soon those dreaded words were heard 'LADIES AND GENTELMEN ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING', surely not, even in death the man could hold a crowd like few performers ever could.
The band members were given a good 5 minute standing ovation which was thoroughly deserved, each had performed brilliantly, no wonder they were hand picked to back the greatest performer who ever lived.
I will be forever greatful for this chance to see the KING in concert (well almost), at least now I have a slightly better understanding of just what it might have been like to be at an ELVIS concert.
THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT

Belgium, January 24, 1999.
I didn't personally see him.I saw "Elvis The concert", the 1999 tour. What a wonderful evening I spent yesterday Sunday 24th in Brussels!!! That was GREAT! I already saw it in Memphis in 97, sure the band was bigger there, but yesterday the sound, the lights, the screens, the pictures were...fantastic.
At the beginning of the show there was a white translucid curtain hiding the stage and the screens. As the "Also sprach Zarathustra" intro was over, the curtain suddenly felt and HE was on the screen...What a magic moment!! As in 97, during a few seconds I automatically searched for Elvis on stage, but I think his spirit was there with us.
The show was too short for me, even if the real Elvis ' shows were not very longer. I should have stay there for hours and hours, all night long.
We missed JD Sumner. The Stamps were great, but JD 's voice wasn't there.....I couldn't thank all the band enough for this tour.
It was a great event for me!!

Germany, January 29, 1999.
What a super gig it was!!!
I guess it was the best concert Elvis ever made. I got heartbeat as the band started with the opening of "2001". The curtain felt and ELVIS came in. It was so real. Wow! At the right and left screens we saw the band and the audience. And in the middle - Elvis himself - .What a feeling.
The party started with CC Rider. Johnny B. Good was a highlight with the solos of the band members. Ronny Todd, James Burton, Charlie Hodge and Jerry Scheff were in a brilliant mood. But I missed Charlie Hodge and John Wilkinson. "In the ghetto", "How great thou art" and "Bridges over troubled water" were touching moments of the first part of the show.
The second started with his RR classics and the the crowds stands up, started to dance and crying "Elvis you're still the King". A nice gag followed , as Elvis said: Please turn the light on , that I can see you" . The lights turned on!! The stamps and the sweet inspirations did a very good job. I get tears in my eyes as the last three songs started. "My way, American trilogy and Can't help falling in love". "American trilogy" was absolut awesome. Many many people ran to the stage and held their hands together in a row. I never forget this moment.
Elvis has left the building , but not our hearts!!!

Elvis - The Concert in Oberhausen
So, how was THE CONCERT in Oberhausen on saturday, januari the 30th you asked? Well, let me tell you it was one of the most exciting things that I ever witnessed! I was born in 1976 so I was too young to have seen a "real" Elvis show. But for me this came frightingly close.
I sat in the front row, center stage and about 80% of the Arena's capacity had been filled. At 8:05 pm the lights went down. The band started to play the theme from 2001 and it was loud. I closed my eyes. This is what it must have felt like way back when... Then Ronnie Tutt started to bang the opening riff, thunder in his drums. Suddenly out walks Elvis!!! He looked very good. For Oberhausen he chose the same suit he also wore on the "Aloha from Hawaii"-tv special.
After "See See Rider" it was "Burning Love". During this song I looked at the huge screen where Elvis was projected and all of a sudden Elvis looked back at me!! He nodded as if he wanted to say "Hi, good to see you Mark". My heart was beating loud with the beat of the song. From this moment on my mind actually started to go blank. During the intermission I had to look at the programm to see what songs they had played! But I knew it was only highlights. One of them was the musical introduction of the TCB-band with "Johnny B. Goode", with extended solo's for James Burton ("play it James"), Glenn D. Hardin, Jerry Sheff and Ronnie Tutt ("Rooooock!!!" was the only thing I could yell to Ronnie, and he did, my God he did).
"Sweet Sweet Spirit" was sung by the Stamps only and was dedicated to their late leader J.D. Sumner. It was a chilling performance and they got a standing ovation for it. After the intermission the Sweet Inspirations kicked off Act II with their own hit "Sweet Inspiration". From this moment on many fans in the cheaper seats rushed to the stage to shoot some pictures and try to shake the Sweets' hands. So did I by the way. After "Sweet Inspiration" Elvis looked me straight in the eye and said "If you're looking for trouble, you came to the right place". Trouble wasn't followed by "Guitar man" but was linked to "Hound dog" (surprise!).
While I was standing in front of the stage I was actually looking for Elvis ON stage. Of coarse he wasn't there, but it gives you an idea of how real this show feels. During the oldies portion of the show it was mayhem: people were jumping and shaking all around. I looked at James Burton, and his eyes were saying "yeah, this is how it ought to be". After "Love Me Tender" we were instructed by the Oberhausen Arena personell to go back to our seats, which we all did. "Suspicious Minds" was one of the many highlights of Act II, with Ronnie Tutt beating the drums like Thor, God of thunder. After "Can't Help Falling In Love" Elvis left the stage, leaving me speechless.
While driving home I thought: "Man, this was weird". I have all the footage they used for this show on video, but I just couldn't keep my eyes off the big screen. I have the "Aloha" - show on cd, but in Oberhausem I was wondering if he would hit the high note in "An American Trilogy" as splendidly as he used to do. This again gives you an idea of how real this show feels. Please everyone, GO SEE IT!!

Grand Rapids.
I just stumbled onto this page, and I think it's great! I have been anxious to hear about the European dates on the 1999 Elvis tour. Fortunately, it appears the shows have been well-attended. I agree with what many fans have said about the lack of promotion, especially in the states. I am convinced far too many people do not understand what this show has to offer. I have seen it twice.
The Memphis '97 reunion was magical. Words cannot express the excitement and emotion which filled the Mid-South Coliseum. The second show I saw was March 15, 1998 in Grand Rapids, MI. I arrived a full FIVE hours before the show, hoping to meet the band and get interviews (I work for a radio station). After waiting several hours I walked around the building to a media access door, showed the credentials, etc. and met Todd Morgan of Graceland, who graciously showed me around and asked if I would be interested in attending the soundcheck.
Absolutely! I sat down in the front row alone (sadly, I was the only media representative present--in Michigan's second largest city!) and watched. The TCB band jammed on several songs; in fact, Ronnie Tutt played bass for awhile, with Jerry Scheff on drums! Next, the Sweet Inspirations came out into the Arena, as did J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, just to hang out. I felt overwhelmed. It was ME, alone with Elvis' stage performers. I only hoped the group wouldn't toss me out. They didn't. After the soundcheck, Todd Morgan lined up a few interviews for me. Ronnie Tutt and Joe Guercio were first, followed by the Sweets, Ed Enoch of the Stamps, Jerry Scheff, Glen D. Hardin, and finally, James Burton. It was more than I expected from my evening, but the biggest thrill I have ever had. I have done countless interviews with artists, bands, etc., but this was different. My childhood was filled with memories of these people who stood before me. Everyone autographed several items I had with me, and James Burton even gave me two guitar picks.
I was very lucky that night. The whole group proved to be humble, congenial and professional in every way. Sometimes the image DOES live up to reality! I encourage everyone who has seen this show to give us your memories. It tightens our bond as Elvis fans.

Very impresive. Like a dream come true. Seeing Elvis 'live'. I think I would have gone completely nuts had he been there in person. The show was superb. It gave me a warm feeling that after almost 22 years after Elvis' death still thousands come out to see him. He'll never go away and more than ever I'm proud to love Elvis.

Auburn Hills, MI. 1998
I was born in 1970 and was never lucky enough to see Elvis in concert...until March of '98. It was awesome, the band, singers, everything was great. My boyfriend, knowing what a huge fan I am, proposed to me that night...in a limousine on the way to the concert. It was a very special night in many ways, one that I'll never forget.
The concert left me with a bittersweet feeling, wishing that things didn't end the way they did for Elvis, but at the same time feeling elated that I had the chance to witness what I did! I would gladly attend the concert again if it came back to town!!! My biggest laugh during the evening were the women (50ish in age)sitting behind us...they were absolutely gaga over him...totally lusting after the video screen! It was great...wherever Elvis is I'm sure he was enjoying it!

Memphis'97 !!
Elvis Presley, replying to a request from me, sent Maureen,my wife, a reassuring letter when she was seriously ill in Hospital.He also sent me a letter to our home address!Both letters were Postmarked, 19 Jan 1961 Memphis Tenn. We kept Elvis,s letters Private till they were read on Irelands Radio RTE,8th Jan 1997! We WON a trip to Memphis!!! And we saw the "CONCERT". For us it was a very emotional event which i will describe at a later date.

My strongest memory from the concert is the feeling I felt deep inside when the orchestra played the intro of Also Sprach Zarathustra.
I almost started to cry, and I remember the stunning "relief" when the curtains was finally dropped and Elvis "walked" out on stage.
I can only imagine how it must have been for those who had the opportunity to visit a r e a l l i v e concert. The crowd was fantastic, and by the end of the second act, many had crowded in front of the stage, dancing and singing along. I'm thrilled to hear that The Concert is returning to my little Sweden in Y2K, so that I may see "him" once more, before I turn into the only virtual world as well.

After a month of expectations and waiting, we were finally on our way to see an elvis concert! It was held at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia. It was it's first time in the country, having already played one show in Adelaide, on the 5th of November.
My mum, brother and myself left home at around 6:30pm on the 8th of November, 1999 to see the spectacle. Getting to Melbourne Park (also known as the tennis centre, because the Australian open is played there once a year) was not hard, we arrived at around a quarter past 7. Once there, we entered the stadium, soon seeing my cousin Marcelo. He is a big fan who was very nervous! He had actually talked to the pianist of the TCB band, Glen Hardin and asked him a couple of questions. Glen even signed a t-shirt for my other cousin, Mariano. My brother Fernando quickly ran to buy us a t-shirt and the program, which is a great souvenir to have. We eagerly awaited the entrance of Elvis!, hearing 60s-70s music being passed in the background. It took around 45 mins for everybody to be seated. The stage was covered with a light coloured silk sheet.
Suddenly, the lights went down, and you could hear, in the distance, a faded sound, which started to become stronger and stronger. The sound of the trumpets became louder, as you could hear Ronnie Tutt play his way through the "2001 space odyssey" theme. At that moment, I felt very strange, nervous, I felt a strong pressure near my throat, like I couldn't breathe! Then, as the theme neared to where Ronnie started to go crazy with his drums, something incredible happened, a feeling, of excitement, but also a feeling of not knowing what was going to happen next...I had my hands over my mouth, as I heard my Mum almost starting to cry, she felt very very nervous! The spotlights were going around the stadium, as though, something was going to happen! Then, you couldn't believe it, out came Elvis, it was incredible! My mum was crying, my brother, screaming!
They played many incredible songs, inluding all the favourites like Hound Dog, which started off with the 68 comeback special scene where Elvis says:"You looking for trouble, you came to the right place." He played a rare version of 'In the Ghetto' which was an incredible song live. One surprising song on the list was Just Pretend, but it was unbelievable!
Many people may think that the concert is just a bunch of video clips put together but it isn't...its like Elvis playing the song all over again because the band have a different rhythm from before.
I had binoculars so I could take a closer look at the TCB band. I couldn't believe it, there were the Sweet Inspirations! It was the 4 of them, including Whitney Houstons mum! Elvis presented his band as you heard the applause for each member. You saw each one appear on the screen doing their solo which was very well done. The whole night was incredible. You could just hear the live band, and in that huge screen was elvis, singing at his best. I was not believing this, neither was anybody else around me I think! The show continued, as there were great performances by the former members of the Stamps Quartet, He touched me, and Sweet, Sweet Spirit. Then, the screen which was displaying Elvis now displayed a church window, for How Great Thou Art, one of the best songs from the concert.
The set was set up so well, with 2 small screens(which were pretty big) and a huge screen in the middle. The show was for about 2 hours although there was a 20 minute intermission(where we took a breather from such excitement, I think I remember my brother repeating "this is incredible! I cant believe it!")
After the intermission, the Sweet Inspirations stepped out from their corner and sung a very good song that I think they created, Sweet Inspiration. You could really say that about every song.
Even when Elvis sung, 'Funny how time slips away' the lights went up! He even asked for a better view of the crowd! Incredible! The concert went on, and when it did finish, it was a very special feeling, we had actually seen Elvis live!!
Walking towards the car, all we could talk about was about how good the show was! My mum commented "who would have thought that we would have gone to see an Elvis concert 10 years ago!" Well it happened, now we can say we saw Elvis' band!
We had bought the Elvis tickets a month ago, and actually almost missed out on seeing the show because of silly circumstances! If you cross your mind or are indecisive about seeing the Elvis concert, you will be assured it will be an unforgettable event. Events, like big concerts should not be missed, because they are a once in a life time opportunities, anyway, you probably would spend the same amount of money on a meal at a restaurant or on something else...
By the way, my cousin asked Glen Hardin "Was Elvis that good?" Glen responded " He was something special" Glen then told Marcelo confidently " You're gonna like the show."...
Elvis the Concert – Melbourne Park, 8:00pm – 8 de Noviembre 1999
El 8 de Noviembre de este año fui a ver ELVIS THE CONCERT. Mas esta decir que fue la experiencia mas grande que tube en mi vida. Cuando se apagaron las luces y la tipica musica de la abertura de los conciertos del King , todos, no yo solamente experimentaron nuevamente esa emocion que solamente Elvis puede despertar. . Es increible que una persona que no esta con nosotros fisicamente por mas de 20 años pero que sí, sigue estando en nuestros corazones pueda mantener la llama de admiracion de todos sus admiradores y encender nuevos sentimientos como él lo sigue haciendo. Y hablo en pasado y en presente porque la audencia del teatro estaba compuesta de ancianos , hombres, mujeres y niños!! El King sigue conquistando admiradores.!! Que encanto tenia Elvis para conquistar a la gente? Era su figura? Era su voz? Era todo lo que él daba ? Sin duda alguna era el conjunto de todos los dones y virtudes que El SEÑOR le entrego. Elvis para mi es como un manantial de aguas cristalinas , una dosis de tranquilidad, su voz es como una caricia.....su mirada como la de un angel.....su musica exquisita. De Elvis no hay manera de aburrirse. Muchas veces me pasa que puedo estar escuchando a otros cantantes, ya sea popular o clasico pero despues de un rato me canso y cambio de cantante. Con Elvis no sucede esto, puedo estar mirando los conciertos (videos) o escuchando musica y nunca nos cansamos. Siempre escucho o miro los videos con mis dos hijos (uno de 29 años y el otro de 17)...Dos fanaticos del Rey.
El dia del concierto fuimos los tres y cuando volviamos estabamos increiblemente felices porque se nos habia hecho realidad (o casi realidad) un sueño que habiamos creido nunca podiamos realizar. VER A ELVIS EN CONCERT.
Un beso para todos de una fanatica del King.
